For the record, I am totally pro 2A, but an empty mag used as a prop is hardly worthy of discussion. I’d feel the same if the mag was loaded, as long as the firearm wasn’t in the room.

David Gregory is pushing for more gun laws. How about enforcing the gun laws on the books first? David Gregory wants to put Americans in jail for violating gun laws, when he himself is violating the gun law.
Get it?
And David Gregory knowingly violated the law. Of course it's a stupid law, but Gregory wants more of the stupidity that's destroying people's lives. You first, Mr. Gregory. Trying to make something out of nothing is a libtard tactic, and one’s reduces credibility.

I would alinsky him to the max.
This particular "law" was not made by Congress, which has the power, and the responsibility, to legislate for DC "in all cases whatsoever".
