In your face: Laws are for the little guy. We decide who needs to follow them.

Some people are more equal than others apparently.

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?”
Wonder if this’ll be used the same way?

There are two ways to run a country: Rule Of Law, or Who You Know. Don’t think for a second that we remain in the former category.

A million people should march on D.C. with 30-round mags, if that law is not going to be enforced. One logistical difficulty could be they’re now impossible to find if you don’t already have one.

American Nomenklatura system; if your name is in the system, then it’s All Good. Laws are for little people.

You started an exchange..? Beggar thousands —it’s ok.

You headed up a hedge fund, then cleaned it out and bought a chateau..? No jail time.

Hell, your victims can’t even DEPOSE you...!

Rule by men, not by laws.

Some animals really are more equal than others.

Mr. Orwell, you called it.

I guess the law has absolutely no meaning in our nation now.

You’re a baseball player who maybe did growth hormone? You’ll spend 18 months on Capitol Hill under the kleig lights.

Ah, you burned down an Embassy? No questions, if you have a tummy ache.

You killed 300 Mexicans and 2 US cops..? No jail time for you AND you can keep your job.

Disappointing, but not surprising. There are many good Americans behind bars now for equally silly violations of gun laws. Apparently Gregory gets a pass because he’s on the “right” side of the issue.

When it comes to Washington DC, it’s not what you know that counts, it is who you blow that counts.

Laws don’t apply to the ruling-class elites, in this corrupt Age of Obama. Ask Jon Corzine.

But take someone who dares buck the professional political class and their socialist agenda, and watch their hides get nailed to the wall.

America 2013 for you. Evil has truly taken over.

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?

A small metal box with a spring?

Come on people. It is not like it is a 100 watt incandescent light bulb or a 60 oz. Coke.

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?”.

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

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...

Remember what Gregory was bitching about: OUR GUN LAWS ARE TOO LAX.

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