| NBC News asked Washington D.C. police for a high-capacity magazine clip to use on Meet the Press, but was denied, according to a report by Washington Post. The information comes amid an investigation into host David Gregory‘s use of a 30-round magazine on the show. “It’s not clear where the prop used during the show was obtained, or who obtained it,” the report noted. The Post alludes emails from the police department posted online: After the show, people contacted D.C. police asking whether they would charge Gregory with a crime. A response from the department’s customer service section

On next week´s show, David Gregory should be on camera seated on a multi-gallon toilet (very un-Green) facing the viewing audience, holding a 32-ounce sugary drink, and pointing the drink menacingly at Mayor ´Red´ (not Blue!) Bloomberg, who will be, most likely, tuning in and hoping to see Gregory bashing another right-winger on ´Meet the Press´.

This means David Gregory´s criminal behavior was INTENTIONAL. He knew that he was committing a crime with malice of forethought. David Gregory is a criminal and should be prosecuted if there is any justice at all in Washington, D.C.
Prosecute David Gregory and those complicit at NBC News. They are intentional criminals.

He got it from the security office at his kids´ school ... you know, Sidwell Friends, the swanky school where liberal Democrats send their kids while the rest of their plantation Democrats are forced to go to terrible DC public schools.
Or maybe from his personal security detail.

"Just trying to imagine what the reaction would´ve been had Wayne LaPierre held up the clip."
>> This comment gets to the heart of the matter.
Right now there´s a lot of static and noise from the media and political elite, calling the outcry against Gregory´s actions petty, counter productive, while haughtily claiming "the police have more pressing matters to handle," etc.
However, what they forget, ignore, and cover-up is the fact that these laws that they support, the same that Gregory clearly and intentionaly violated, are the very same (I believe to be unconstitutional) laws that have been used to infringe upon the Second Amendment-rights of millions of gun ownders, and have been used to ensnare thousands of erstwhile law-abiding citizens into felony arrests and a criminal record.
If it is Joe Sixpack holding up a similarly empty standard capacity magazine to the Mayor of DC on a street corner, or Barack Obama, etc. while asking "Why would you deny me my God-given rights?" they would be looking at immediate arrest, processing, prosecution (and perhaps a "tune-up" from the likes of the DC Police and/or Capitol Police/Secret Service), along with a black mark on their record that would forever deny them their right to "keep and bear" a firearm.
Not a single soul in the elite media would come to Mr. Sixpack´s defense. No, it is likely they would encourage swift arrest and punishment so as to set an example to the unwashed masses that the political and media elite are immune from such concerns and all that question them must either be criminally minded and/or insane.
Yes the law that Mr. Gregory has violated is ridiculous and Constitutionally dubious. However, that´s exactly the point, isn´t it, and that´s exactly why he should be prosecuted.

Magazine! Magazine! Magazine! Magazine! Words mean specific things. A clip is not a magazine. Clips are used to load magazines. Magazines are not all the same. The NBC moron was holding a Detachable Box Magazine. There are also internal magazines on many rifles and some pistols and shotguns. There are tubular magazines and rotary magazines. There are belt-fed weapons that use no magazine at all.
These journ-O-list idiots cannot even accurately describe what it is they want to ban. I am weary of firearms illiterates holding forth on subjects of which they are willfully and stubbornly ignorant.
Do some basic research, shite for brains newsreaders.

For the umpteenth time, JournoListers and ALL media pinheads: it´s NOT a ´clip´. It´s a magazine. There is a very important difference. If you don´t know, don´t default to television slang. Look it up.
if you don´t know the difference, you have no right to comment on ANY firearms issues, let alone attempt to pass ridiculous and ineffective laws.

This alone shows intent. Isn´t intent all that is needed to prove a violation of law? It also means, even though ignorance of the law is no defense, that they had foreknowledge the action was illegal, and chose to break the law.
I would like to think LaPierre was quietly snickering ti himself in smug satisfaction during the interview,hoping, as happened, someone else called them on it. It would just not have been as good had LaPierre had to do it.
Seems they now have a Second Ammendment Attorney to defend him in case if arrest. Oh, the irony.
A little schaudenfreude goes a long way these days, doesn´t it?
Like the gun owner map, sauce for the gander. Stick that in your magazine and smoke it.
Lastly, now we get to see if he will be treated like anyone else, or one of the priveledged elite. Money dies talk, right?

These are historic and troubling times. The unprecedented and brazen efforts by high-ranking elements within the Obama administration to silence whistleblowers and intimidate any reporters that would speak with them have starkly framed the choice the political press now faces. The administration has thrown the gauntlet down before the media with their display of abject disregard for the watchdog Fourth Estate. To the White House’s chagrin, the media will respond. In a two-fold assault on the freedom of the press, President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice has been implicated in efforts designed to intimidate both the press and

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department says it hasn´t prosecuted journalists for obtaining or publishing classified information and has no plans to. But open government and journalism advocates say the aggressive investigations of classified leaks by government officials under the Obama administration´s watch are having a chilling effect on news organizations´ ability to play a watchdog role.

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s passage of a sweeping immigration bill was expected. But the explosion of chants of “Yes we can! Yes we can!” and “Leahy! Leahy!” came as a surprise. The “Gang of Eight” bill passed by a wide 13-5 margin early Tuesday evening. Amid the cheering, Democratic committee chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont could be seen motioning spectators to come up and participate in the celebration. The “Yes we can” chant was made popular by then-Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama in his 2008 presidential run.

Just a day after telling reporters that chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior White House staff learned of the situation nearly a month ago, press secretary Jay Carney revealed Tuesday that White House officials had consulted with the Treasury Department on how to make the findings public.(Snip) Carney said he hadn’t revealed more information about which officials

The testimony from Shulman, who was making his first public appearance since the IRS controversy broke into the open two weeks ago, did not satisfy members of the Senate Finance Committee. He faced more than three hours of stern questioning from Democrats and Republicans, but said “I don’t believe I was aware” when asked

For a "failed scandal," Fast and Furious sure brought out the heavy hitters at the Department of Justice to deal with a whistleblower. The department´s inspector general has released a report accusing one US attorney, Dennis Burke, of leaking a document that smeared John Dodson, a key witness in the Fast and Furious scandal, and accusing other officials in the department of coming up with a strategy to discredit him. Breitbart: The DOJ IG said it found "Burke´s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a U.S. Attorney."

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
