A very illegal prop. Lock him up.
Let's look at that.
First, Article I, §8: "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States".
Then, Amendment II: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
Now, this so-called "law" that David Gregory broke was not passed by Congress - you know, the Congress that has EXCLUSIVE power to legislate, IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER?. And, this act of pretended legislation infringes on Mr. Gregory's right to bear arms, neh?
Any way you look at it, he should be in the clear.
Only illegal if you concede that unconstitutional laws are "legal". I say let him stay free and use it as a springboard to deter prosecution of others for "breaking" this illegal law.
You either believe in the 2nd Amendment or you don't - can't have it both ways and be anything resembling consistent with Constituitoonal beliefs...
