An official from the D.C. police told a member of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that David Gregory COULD display a high capacity magazine on "Meet the Press" Sunday ... TMZ has learned.

[what's up]

This point is being missed:

If Gregory could get hold of an illegal piece of equipment, what's to stop a criminal if they pass more laws?

I think it's great we have a member of MSM proving this point on behalf of the NRA.

Ah. So fast and furious is gunrunning to DC?

To anti-gun liberals in the media. Ironic, isn't it?

Ignorance of the law is no defense.

It would be great to find out that David Gregory sent a staffer across state lines to procure the magazine.

I wonder how this will go over in Dimmitville, USA ?

When you belong to the arm of the democrat party and the socialists propoganda regime you get a pass on this kinda stuff.

Not one damn thing will happen. NOTHING.

I wonder if LENO will dare to mention David Gregory tonight on his show?

This story is absurd. The DCPD doesn’t need permission from the ATF to enforce or not enforce local DC laws and the ATF doesn’t have the authority to tell the DCPD how or whether to enforce local DC laws. This is nothing more than a cooked up excuse to let everyone, Gregory (punk) and the DCPD, off the hook.

You need to add a mosque and a marijuana retail store

“Not one damn thing will happen. NOTHING.”

SOMETHING is happening. This type of “outing” is extremely rare for he MSM. They are not used to it. It is a good thing.

the cool part of this after thought butt savin trick

Their usual MO. Lie and spin after the fact followed by media cover. Works every time, no matter how deep the corruption.

[PhiloBedo]

The obvious scenario is a phone call from Barry to Eric, after the fact, saying he’s got to provide cover, after all the MSM is pushing his agenda.

[RetSignman]

My take on this stupid controversy is that MTP has been losing viewers and it is nothing more than a device to attract attention to their program.

Business as usual: laws don’t apply to Dimocrats.

[Chode]

from Drudge, as of 4:50pm today, "NBC was told by the Washington police that it was “not permissible” to show a high-capacity gun magazine on air before Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” according to a statement Wednesday from the cops."

So the ATF can pass out exemptions? To Laws?

When did they become legislators?
