“DC High Capacity Ammunition Magazines – D.C. Official Code 7-2506.01

(b) 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.�.”

The fact of the matter is, we do not know the circumstances of how Gregory got the magazine to use as a prop. Most gun laws have exemptions for props owned by media companies and such may be the case here. For all we know, the magazine used may very well belong to the D.C. police department and was loaned for use as a prop. While I'm certainly no fan of the way that Gregory conducted the interview with LaPierre and would like as much as anyone to call him a law-breaking hypocrite, I'm not willing to do so based on the very limited information that we have.
 
He actually just PROVED Wayne LaPierre's point; that even if they are banned, people will be able to get a hold of them - because they are banned in D.C. and he sat right there holding one up for the cameras.
 
I doubt he'll get in any trouble. I would like to see a complete expose of how the magazine was obtained, but I doubt that will happen either.
 
I just emailed the DC Mayor asking him to enforce his own gun laws.

Good luck with that. He's under investigation for his 2010 campaign, 2 city councilmen have been convicted this year with one going to jail and another put on probation...and then there's Councilman Marion Barry...:eek:
When the leaders of DC can't even follow their own laws, I have little to no hope of them actually enforcing them.
 
^ Did La Pierre actually point this out?

No he didn't and my first thought was I wish he would have called him on it right then and there but on further reflection, perhaps he didn't because it's possible "something" would have happened to make him look bad, ie: the response could have been that they are banned and that's why Gregory had to borrow one from the PD to use as a prop.
 
Yeah, a Bushmaster, he also had two pistols.. a Sig, and a something I don't remember. Apparently he only used the Bushmaster.

And the magazine was legal if it was non-functional. If it was functional...
 
the story is changing so much I don't know who to believe. I would like to see the evidence report from the cops to see which weapons were found where instead of the various news reports.
 
sorry i dont have the link but i saw a video from nbc that showed the police removing the AR from lanzas trunk... i dont understand why that isnt being reported? nevermind i guess i do its the media:rolleyes:

The other was a 10mm Glock. I haven't heard if it was a Glock 20 or Glock 29. I read somewhere that he used the 10mm to commit suicide, but I'm not 100% sure.
