You might be able to get away with taking a picture of one with the intent to brandish and display such a picture of a dangerous device, such as a box with a spring in it...;-)

A friend of our family did not do a day in jail for vehicular manslaughter after his lawyer asked the judge “what happened to Ted Kennedy after Chappaquiddick?”

Exactly.

They blinked.

If they were “true believers” they would have arrested little Dave.

A token fine, a day in jail, something, anything would do that the mouthpiece media could have pointed at to “prove” that they are fair.



Nothing.



The city's Office of the Attorney General, which handles low-level crimes, said criminal charges wouldn't serve the public's best interests even though possession of the magazine - capable of holding up to 30 rounds of ammunition - was clearly against local gun laws.

"Influencing our judgment in this case, among other things, is our recognition that the intent of the temporary possession and short display of the magazine was to promote the First Amendment purpose of informing an ongoing public debate about firearms policy in the United States,

The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself. ~Jane Addams

Thus, no, nay, not a scratch shall be imparted on the porcelain skin of princess D...

They are incapable of believing they are wrong.

It is their Achilles heel.

And once again the hypocrisy of quoting the First Amendment to violate the Second Amendment is second only to continuing to collect thirty pieces of silver...

Was there ever any doubt? Laws are meant for the rabble; not their betters.

Just have our elected representatives show up on the floor with them. Demonstrate the hippocricy. Real Americans are too busy to march.

“Just dang. I may be a bit slow, but just holding up a 30 round magazine in D.C. is a crime with a penalty up to a year in prison?”

prole doublethink plusgood, bellyfeel crimestop upfile database, unpurge—minitrue

Ignorance is Strength

“A Party member lives from birth to death under the eye of the Thought Police. Even when he is alone he can never be sure that he is alone. Wherever he may be, asleep or awake, working or resting, in his bath or in bed, he can be inspected without warning and without knowing that he is being inspected. Nothing that he does is indifferent. His friendships, his relaxations, his behaviour towards his wife and children, the expression of his face when he is alone, the words he mutters in sleep, even the characteristic movements of his body, are all jealously scrutinized. Not only any actual misdemeanour, but any eccentricity, however small, any change of habits, any nervous mannerism that could possibly be the symptom of an inner struggle, is certain to be detected. He has no freedom of choice in any direction whatever. On the other hand his actions are not regulated by law or by any clearly formulated code of behaviour.

*In Oceania there is no law. Thoughts and actions which, when detected, mean certain death are not formally forbidden, and the endless purges, arrests, tortures, imprisonments, and vaporizations are not inflicted as punishment for crimes which have actually been committed, but are merely the wiping-out of persons who might perhaps commit a crime at some time in the future. A Party member is required to have not only the right opinions, but the right instincts. Many of the beliefs and attitudes demanded of him are never plainly stated, and could not be stated without laying bare the contradictions inherent in Ingsoc. If he is a person naturally orthodox (in Newspeak a goodthinker), he will in all circumstances know, without taking thought, what is the true belief or the desirable emotion. But in any case an elaborate mental training, undergone in childhood and grouping itself round the Newspeak words crimestop, blackwhite, and doublethink, makes him unwilling and unable to think too deeply on any subject whatever.”

They have set a precedence. How can they justify prosecution of anyone else. Can see the defense lawyer asking the court: “how much and who do we pay to get the charges dropped like David Gregory?”.

The precedence they have set is that they can give a “get out of jail free card” to anyone they want to.

What David Gregory did with that magazine was extremely dangerous.

He could've put an eye out waving it around like that.

NBC asked law officials beforehand if they legally could use the magazine on their show and was told “NO” yet they did so anyway which is a blatant defiance of the law.

“logistical difficulty? “-——not to worry, just not a problem. Don’t forget about 15’s, 17’s, 20’s, 50’s, 75’s, and by the way belts———I’d be all for magazines AND pitchforks. It’s a 6,000 mile run for me but I’d be willing to bring a truckload of pitchforks.

If you are a liberal you are “informing the public”. If you are conservative, then you are a gun nut?

Liberal “informing the public” is the same as “re-educating the masses”. When laws are only enforced on non-party members... It is fascism.

"Selective and disproportionate enforcement of laws and regulations."

Right out of the commie-pinko playbook.
