Our favorite 2d Amendment journalist, Emily Miller<\/a>, tells the tale of her journey through the jungle of getting a FOIA out of the DC government in regards to the David Gregory is better than the rest of us<\/a> case. After she got the FOIA finally she found a couple of discrepancies between what Gregory’s lawyer told the prosecutor’s office and what really happened. <\/p>\n

It seems that Gregory’s lawyer told police that he had borrowed the magazine from a legal owner and it was returned immediately after the cute little TV show, however, police recovered the magazine from Gregory’s residence two days after he said he returned it the owner.<\/p>\n

Gregory’s attorney also told the prosecutor that they didn’t know that it was illegal to bring a 30-round magazine into the District if it wasn’t attached to a rifle. However the FOIA contains a conversation that proves otherwise;<\/p>\n

The police documents show there was no confusion. At 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, a NBC producer, whose name was redacted, emailed MPD this: \u201c \u2018Meet the Press\u2019 is interviewing a person on the show this Sunday in studio \u2014 Producers for the show would liek [sic] to have a clip (standard and high power), without ammunition in studio to use on the show. There will be no gun, no bullets, just clips. Is this legal?\u201d<\/p>\n

At 9 p.m., someone at MPD \u2014 again, the name was blacked out \u2014 replied: \u201cNo, possession of high capacity magazines is a misdemeanor under Title #7 of the D.C. Code. We would suggest utilizing photographs for their presentation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, obviously Gregory is better than the rest of us and a photo of a magazine isn’t quite dramatic enough, so lacking it drama that only the real thing brought into the District illegally would suffice. So dramatic that a lawyer can lie to the prosecutor without any repercussion.<\/p>\n

While I think that DC’s gun laws are draconian, I still think they should be applied equally to everyone. That’s not what happened in this case. If I lied to a prosecutor, I would expect to be punished for that, but I guess if I had a theatrical reason for breaking the law, the prosecutor would let me slide especially if I had stationary hair and a smarmy smile that invited the application of a blunt object.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
