D.C. Police Warned NBC Against Possessing Gun Clip

District of Columbia police say they warned NBC that having a high-capacity gun magazine in the city was against the law before reporter David Gregory brandished what he said was a 30-round magazine on "Meet the Press."

Police are investigating whether Gregory, 42, violated D.C. gun laws during the program, which was taped in Washington and aired Sunday.

D.C. police spokeswoman Gwen Crump said police discussed the use of the clip with NBC before the program was taped.

"NBC contacted MPD inquiring if they could utilize a high-capacity magazine for their segment. NBC was informed that possession of a high-capacity magazine is not permissible, and their request was denied," according to a statement released by Crump. "The matter is currently being investigated."

He obviously broke a law and knew he was doing it. He should be fined the max. And if the police do nothing he will then report that the police are not inforcing the laws we have now. so the police will look bad. Throw the book at him.

They can skirt around that as the police have no evidence that I know of, I'm sure they (NBC) will say that the cartridge had been gutted, no spring and internal parts.

I think law enforcement have more important matters to be investigating.

I think the larger point here is being missed... Whatever was said on the show ABOUT 30 round clips. This shoot could have easily had been made in any state of the union that allows them(which should be ALL, for that matter).
The 2A is NOT about hunting, it's about us having the ability to defend ourselves against the very force who is threatening this station and their employees.
THAT is the major point here.
Buy ammo, keep it buried and mobile, have a bug out bag.
Magazines take a long time to load, so have large capacity ones, and many of them ready.
