Much has been made of David Gregory’s alleged possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device during an airing of Meet the Press on December 23. In my mind there are two big questions to answer: 1) can the government prosecute Mr. Gregory; and 2) if...
That's where we are at the end of the day, today, via Jonathan Adler at National Review: It appears as if NBC’s David Gregory decided to brandish a high capacity magazine on NBC’s “Meet the Press” even though NBC was informed it would be illegal to...
As we move into 2013 and the legal insurrections, we should learn from history. As Thomas Lifson at American Thinker points out, now that the major institutions have been surrendered, it's time to emulate the left, Here comes the Alinskyite Right: David Gregory and Piers Morgan have...

In Kabul the other day, an Afghan policewoman shot dead her American police trainer and would’ve shot others, too, if her service pistol hadn’t jammed. Here’s how Reuters characterized the incident today in a piece titled Mental illness, poverty haunted Afghan policewoman who killed American: The Afghan...
In Washington, people who are caught in possession of the type of magazine that Mr. Gregory had can face up to a year in prison, said David Benowitz, a criminal defense lawyer.“You would be arrested; you would most likely be charged with possession of an illegal magazine,” Mr. Benowitz said, adding that “depending on what time you were arrested, you would most likely be held overnight.”
Prosecutors and defense lawyers often work out a plea agreement in which defendants receive probation and have a misdemeanor charge on their criminal record, Mr. Benowitz said. If defendants have a prior criminal record or lose a jury trial, they could face a stiffer sentence.
Mr. Benowitz said the accusation from the police that NBC had asked for permission and then went ahead with showing the magazine “didn’t help Gregory’s case.”
Yeah, asking for permission is pretty damning when you ignore what you are told directly from the law enforcement authority and do it anyway.
Unfortunately, the otherwise great Greta has missed the point on this, Investigating NBC’s David Gregory? Really? Can we be any sillier?
We have so many serious issues of violence in this country — and even here in DC on our dangerous streets — that it is bizarre to me that anyone would spend (waste) 5 minutes investigating NBC’s David Gregory for this.One of the problems with the ever expanding gun laws advocated by Gregory and others is that otherwise law-abiding citizens get caught up inadvertently violating the law, like this soldier on leave from Afghanistan, while criminals do what they please and powerful people don't get prosecuted. The guns laws, as presently constituted and as proposed, turn us into a nation of men not of laws. What Greta doesn't understand is that David Gregory isn't being investigated because he's David Gregory; if he were anyone else, he'd already be in jail.

The world of professional journalism appears unflinchingly intent on continuing its tumble into the unrecognizable abyss. In its latest act of compelling investigative journalism, the "professional media," embodied in this instance by The Journal News, published an interactive map through its online affiliate, LoHud.com. This map,...
I doubt David Gregory intended to violate D.C.'s ban on the possession or transfer of high capacity ammunition magazines when he waved around such a magazine during his interview of Wayne LaPierre yesterday. Prior to yesterday, I never would have thought that possession of an empty magazine,...
Well, at least partially, regarding Erik Loomis, the University of Rhode Island assistant history professor who tweeted a crazy tirade of invective against the NRA culminating in his wish for Wayne LaPierre's head on a stick. When people objected, Loomis clarified that life in prison would...
It sure looks that way, unless the gun clip Gregory held up today was just a dummy prop. I saw a number of tweets linking to this post David Gregory Violates DC Gun Law On National TV quoting D.C. Official Code 7-2506.01 (emphasis in original): b) No person...
The president has just promised to submit gun-control legislation (though not a budget) to Congress in a matter of weeks. So now is a good time to point out that our national debate over a citizens’ ownership of guns wouldn’t be necessary—nor would the kinds...
If this didn't come from long-time correspondent, photographer, reporter, bumper sticker aficionado, and music impresario Danelle, I wouldn't believe it. Made a quick stop at my favorite firearms shop today just to see what was in stock. The store was fully staffed, with a help wanted sign...
As we debate new gun legislation, shouldn't we have facts not feelings drive the issue? We've heard that mass shootings are on the increase, but they are not. We've heard that school homicides and violence are on the rise, but they are not. Dianne Feinstein plans to introduce...
I've been out of pocket pretty much since the first sketchy reports this morning about a possible school shooting. A meeting, a luncheon and then 6 hours in the car. The car ride was enlightening because I followed the details of the Connecticut school shooting exclusively...

Bob Costas' commentary on the murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs player Jevon Belcher is receiving a lot of attention. I understand the points, via Ed Morrissey, that people don't tune in to a football game for gun control proselytizing, and that Costas focused on the gun...
