Second Amendment attack backfires

Friday, December 28, 2012

Gun grabbers have been exploiting the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., to pursue their long standing agenda of disarming America. Law abiding and responsible gun owners are fighting back against the onslaught. NBC anchor David Gregory acted on Sunday as if D.C. firearms laws didn't apply to him. He brandished a 30 round rifle magazine on "Meet the Press" during an interview with National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. "Isn't it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?" Mr. Gregory asked while waving the prohibited object. A ruthlessly enforced city ordinance makes it unlawful to possess magazines with greater than a 10 round capacity. NBC staff had contacted the Metropolitan Police Department in advance seeking permission to violate the city's rules for the stunt. According to a spokesman for Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier, the request was denied. Mr. Gregory went ahead anyway.
