Your standard is we must get "permission" from cops and if we go against that it's "illegal".

You gun worshipers pretend to be some force against government overreach and then come on this forum and wilt like pansies....LOL

The whole point of this thread is that David Gregory committed a crime in brandishing a magazine, clearly in violation of DC law. And here you beta males come along to hijack the thread with your incessant whining and hand-wringing.

Hystercis?

You fake right wing cry babies are calling for a member of the press to be prosecuted for holding a clip that he didn't receive proper "permission" for.....LOL

Please remind us how spineless you guys are in sticking up to the government when it comes to really standing up for civil liberties.

To be accurate the statement from the DC police is possession of the magazine was not permissible and the request was denied.

I've bolded the active section regarding it being a prop. If that magazine is a prop, has external dimensions that allow it to fit into a STANAG mag well, internal dimensions that would allow it to accept 223 Remington rounds and hold more than 10 rounds, it's the same offense. Since it can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

This might explain some of the reticence of NBC to comment, if it was a Magazine, it's pretty clear that there is a high potential for criminal charges they're not going to discuss that until the police are finished, however if it were a prop it doesn't mean that there are no charges likely, it may very well be that there is the same potential, and NBC's lawyers are investigating what the bolded section really means.
I highly doubt it. I would imagine a prop lacks the ability to "feed" the firearm (wouldn't that be the difference between a prop and the real thing?). If it can't feed the firearm, then it's not a "feeding device," and hence not covered by the law.

No it's not "clearly" a crime at all Clarence.

As you will soon find out when they drop the investigation of him.

Reality will hit you in the face and you can go back under your rock to invent more conspiracy theories.

I don't think he should have got permission, I think it's a stupid law, and would support Alan Gura defending Gregory in any lawsuit so that this stupid law is repealed.

You know that. I know that. Someone else doesn't know that.

The law doesn't require that he receive permission. It's just not unheard of for people to enquire with cops if a certain act is illegal. They are free to take the advice or ignore the advice.

What's stupid about the law? He's only being investigated. The voters of DC want large clips banned. This law helps accomplish that.

It'll get swept under the rug from somewhere higher up. You know, like a person whose kids go to the same private school as David Gregorys. Keep carrying that Obama water.
