“Showing an empty gun magazine on television, though illegal in Washington, D.C., was hardly going to harm anyone.”

POSSESSION of a gun magazine is a victimless crime, no matter who does it, when, or why. There is only a victim if the gun magazine is used to cause harm to someone, and no one is arguing that should not be illegal, as it always has been.

I figure it is a good test case: Magazine restriction infringes on my right to keep and bear arms by preventing usage of (Miller test) components suitable for use by militia. In the absence of government (strict scrutiny) evidence that shooting 10 people is ok, and 30 people is not ok, then 30 round magazines must be permitted.

And if we lose, only Gregory needs to go to jail.
