I told you earlier this week that Washington D.C. Police had finished their investigation into MSNBC Meet the Press host David Gregory’s blatant breaking of the law by waving around a high-capacity magazine on national television in front of National Rifle Association vice president Wayne LaPierre.

“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.

Clearly there is a double standard in Washington when a veteran who honorably served this country is treated as a common criminal and jailed for forgetting loose ammunition in his backpack, not even knowing it was against the law in Washington, D.C. and letting a nationally known figure like Gregory get off scot free without so much as a slap on the hand. This should cause Americans to be quite literally “up in arms.”
