According to a report in Politico this evening, it was “illegal” for NBC News’ David Gregory to show an empty 30-round ammunition magazine on “Meet the Press” last Sunday as he sought to push for more restrictions on the 2nd Amendment Rights of American Citizens:
POLITICO: A Washington Metropolitan Police Department spokesman tells POLITICO that it was illegal for NBC’s David Gregory to show an empty gun magazine on television last Sunday, even if it was empty.
The spokesman also said he could not confirm a report by TMZ, the Hollywood gossip site, alleging that a D.C. police official told a member of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives just the opposite, leading Gregory and his team at NBC’s “Meet the Press” to believe he could legally show an empty magazine on television.
“I don’t know where they got their information. I can’t confirm what they said,” Officer Paul Metcalf told POLITICO. “All I can say for now is that the matter is still under investigation.”
Asked whether it would be legal to show a magazine without bullets, Metcalf replied: “It’d still be illegal.” . . . Read More
A good example of how the restrictive gun laws create hardships on law-abiding citizens, instead of stopping bad guys.

Report: D.C. Police Say “It was Illegal” for NBC News’ David Gregory to Show a 30-Round Ammunition Magazine on “Meet the Press” – Video 12/23/12
Here is video of the New York Times’ Helene Cooper yesterday on “Meet the Press” where she said there is a “palpable” atmosphere of cockiness at the Obama White House these days about the “Fiscal Cliff” negotiations. She said Obama and his people have the attitude that they don’t have to negotiate, but can sit back and demand that others meet their demands – unlike their attitude in 2011.
I think we already knew this about them, but Cooper confirms it here. Therein lies the reason why they made the laughable proposal they did for big tax increases and virtually no spending cuts, along with a demand for Obama to get unlimited power to arbitrarily raise the debt-ceiling as much and as often as he desires.
Cooper also said, in the end, if the nation goes over the “Fiscal Cliff,” it is Obama who “would have to own it.”

Here is video of Ohio Gov. John Kasich today on “Meet the Press” where he said internal polls show Gov. Mitt Romney ahead in Ohio, and he boldly predicted Romney would win Ohio. Kasich reminded Gregory he has not been saying that up to now, but he believes Romney has the momentum, particularly with Independent voters trending to Romney.
When asked if we would know the outcome of Ohio on Election night, Kasich said he believes we will, and that he’s not sure the election is going to be as close and many people say it will.

Here is video of Newt Gingrich on “Meet the Press” yesterday powerfully pointing out the bias in the media against Republicans on the issue of abortion. Gingrich pointed out that it is the Democrats who have “the most extreme” position on abortion in their party platform, supporting taxpayer-funded abortions even in the eight and ninth month of pregnancy. He reminded the liberal panel that President Obama “voted three times” in Illinois to “protect the right of doctors to kill babies who came out of an abortion still alive.” Yet, Gingrich said the media never talks about the extreme position Democrats have taken, and instead constantly seek to demonize Republicans on the issue.
The New York Times’ Thomas Freidman then proceeded to illustrate the very bias Gingrich had just spoken of. He said flat out, “I’m a Planned Parenthood Democrat,” who supports the view on abortion adopted by Democrats, before later reminding everyone he is “a journalist.”

Here is video of conservative Rich Lowry duking it out with ultra-liberal Rachel Maddow on Meet the Press over the fact that it is President Barack Obama who is cutting $700 Billion from Medicare in order to pay for ObamaCare. Maddow kept harping about the Ryan Budget, which uses the reality of those cuts as a baseline for how to deal with the nation’s debt – but seemed to have no problem with the fact it is Obama who has cut $700 Billion from Medicare! Lowry pointed out that Mitt Romney would roll back those cuts, while it is Obama who wants to keep them. Maddow never would try and defend the cuts. Lowry believes Republicans need to actually go on offense about Medicare, since it is Obama who is making cuts that actually affect current Senior Citizens.

Here is video of MSNBC’s Chris Matthews absolutely beside himself over Democrat Mayor Cory Booker’s crticism of Barack Obama for attacking Mitt Romney’s work in the private sector at Bain Capital.
Matthews is outraged that an Obama Surrogate would go on Meet the Press and “trashing the message of the Obama Campaign.” With Matthews, no matter that Booker told the truth. All that matters is that The One’s attack designed to cover-up his own miserable failure of a record as President be supported at all costs.

Here is video of Rick Santorum on “Meet the Press” yesterday, where he said he would stay in the GOP Presidential race until Mitt Romney secures the needed 1,144 delegates to clinch the Nomination.
Santorum did agree the results of the Wisconsin GOP Primary on Tuesday will be pivotal, but he did not say he would end his campaign if he loses to Romney there. In fact, Santorum was very upbeat about his chances in Wisconsin and beyond.
Santorum was just pounded in the interview by Savannah Guthrie with question after question on when and whether he will get out of the race. The pressure is building, because in most of the interviews, that’s the focus of the questioning now.
