This is a family forum and while I think David Gregory deserves special treatment by other inmates, it's bad form to detail such in polite company. 
Generally, the only acceptable way to destroy a "high capacity" mag which satisfies the BATFE is to cut up the mag body. Anything short of that and it's considered "readily re-storable."Moist wrote:According to D.C. Official Code § 7-2506.01, bolding mine:ShotgunBlast wrote:Is it still considered a magazine if the internals are missing? That's the thing, it could just look like a hunk of metal or plastic.
Unless he made it impossible for the magazine to be "readily restored", David Gregory should go to jail. Just like anyone else.No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term large capacity ammunition feeding device means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term large capacity ammunition feeding device shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition..”
I like this idea best. In fact, one could combine the two ideas:seeknulfind wrote:I think we should take a different tact and stand behind this idiot's right to defy unnecessary and unconstitutional gun legislation. Even he has a right to be wrong. Plus he proves that possession of a high capacity magazine is NOT inherently dangerous.

1. Defend Gregory's 2A right against the unconstitutional anti-gun laws;
2. and demand that if DC is determined to enforce its unconstitutional law, it must prosecute Gregory in the same way they would prosecute the average Anacostia resident.
Yes, and we all know how useful even written documentation from the ATF is in a court of law...rlbellco72 wrote:They were confused, the ATF said it was legal, so that should override the Districts law, right?

Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has concluded its investigation into NBC anchor David Gregory without an arrest.
Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier’s spokesman Gwendolyn Crump emailed Wednesday morning: “Emily, MPD has completed the investigation into this matter, and the case has been presented to the OAG for a determination of the prosecutorial merit of the case.”
One law for celebrities, one law for us.While Mr. Gregory got away without being arrested or going to jail, the police arrested 105 other people in 2012 on charges that included possession of “high capacity” feeding devices.
