So the ATF can pass out exemptions? To Laws?

When did they become legislators?

Where is the exception in the law for this?

The police cannot decide who can obey the law and who cannot!

This is asinine! (AND ILLEGAL!)

ATF is a federal arm of the government.

The law Gregory broke was a D.C. Law.

Ignorance is no excuse.

The illegal law is one of many put forth by libby states that infringes on our unalienable rights, and should be ignored discreetly in such non permissive areas and should be challenged overtly in public forums.

Yeah, TMZ is reliable/ sarc. Lets see it in writing, signed off by the ATF.

I’ve always said, a verbal agreement is only as good as the paper it’s printed on. And signed.

ATF is the organization that broke the law, smuggled guns to Mexico drug cartels.

Ofcourse, they would tell a leftist it’s okay for him to violate the DC law.

The law only applies to people outside the party. We are Chi-coms now.

We are $17,000,000,000,000 in debt, we murder hundreds of thousands of children in the womb or alive in the birth canal every year, we have $100,000,000,000,000 in Entitlement liabilities, we are led by a homosexual Coummunist, we have thrown God out of our schools, workplaces, homes, and Government, our economy is in an actual depression, and the media is in an absolute frenzy about a piece of sheet metal with a spring inside of it.

* NBC’s request to display gun magazine denied by police

By Chris Francescani

Dec 26 (Reuters) - NBC News anchor David Gregory is being investigated by police after displaying what he said was a high-capacity gun clip on Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press,” Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department said Wednesday.

Gregory held up what appeared to be a 30-round gun magazine - which would be barred under Washington municipal code - while hosting the nationally broadcast interview with National Rifle Association Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre.

“Here is a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets,” Gregory said as he held aloft the black cartridge, according to video posted on the network’s website.

“Now isn’t it possible that, if we got rid of these, if we replaced them and said ‘Well, you could only have a magazine that carries five bullets or ten bullets,’ isn’t it just possible that we can reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?” Gregory asked LaPierre.

“I don’t think it’s what will work,’’ LaPierre responded.

The network had contacted the police department prior to Sunday’s broadcast “inquiring if they could use a high capacity magazine for the segment,” police spokesman Araz Alali said on Wednesday.

“NBC was informed that possession of a high-capacity magazine was not permissible and their request was denied.”

Alali, the police spokesman, declined to elaborate on the investigation into NBC.

Washington’s municipal code prohibits possession, sale or transfer of “any large capacity ammunition feeding device, regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm.”

The maximum penalty for conviction on such a charge is a $1,000 fine and one year in prison.

NBC spokeswoman Erika Masonhall, contacted by email, said the network had no comment on the investigation.

The correct question is : Who at the ATF decided to Practice Law without a License?? And Have they been Arrested Yet??
Giving Legal Advice when you are not a Licensed Attorney is a Serious Crime and should be investigated immediately.

Interesting, but at least in theory, irrelevant.

We are told that ignorance of the law is no defense. Come on, libs, enforce what you passed.

Many years ago I saw a skit on MAD TV. It showed 2 offices. One was DEA the other was AFT. In the DEA office all of the employees were doing dope. The other office was AFT and they were shooting guns wildly into the air, drinking and smoking.

I always think of that skit when I see anything to do with AFT or DEA, more so these days.

Maybe a case of splitting microscopic hairs. Perhaps the display is okay, the possession is not.

As Doctor Leonard McCoy once said, “There aren’t gonna be any damned permits! How can you get a permit to do a damned illegal thing?!”
