NBC’s David Gregory Free while Iraq Vet was Jailed for Breaking the same Gun Law

Intrepid reporter Emily Miller of the Washington Times wrote an interesting article on Tuesday concerning the two systems of justice that exist in our Nation’s Capital.  That is, the justice system that applies to political elites and the justice system that applies to ordinary citizens.

To highlight the inequity in the DC legal system, Miller pointed to two different cases, one involving an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran Adam Meckler and another involving NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ host David Gregory.

Both men violated a subsection of this onerous gun law, DC Criminal Code 7-2506.01:

<blockquote>Unlawful Possession of Ammunition (UA): It is illegal to possess ammunition in the District of Columbia unless the person is:  (1) a licensed dealer, (2) a federal or city law enforcement officer acting within scope of duties, or (3) holder of a valid registration certificate of same gauge and caliber as ammunition in possession.  It is also illegal to possess, sell or transfer any ‘large-capacity ammunition feeding device.’

A person guilty of this charge can be sentenced to a maximum fine of $1000 and/or up to a year imprisonment.</blockquote> In 2011, Army Specialist Adam Meckler, who spent 15 months in Iraq and 15-month in Afghanistan during his 9 year military career, was thrown in jail for being in possession of ‘unregistered ammunition.’

Meckler was arrested at a District VFW office building.  He was there dropping off his medical records and was unaware that he had some loose rounds of 9mm ammo at the bottom of his backpack (he had no gun with him).  As he walked through the security checkpoint, the rounds set off the metal detector.

Meckler was cuffed and then subsequently jailed.  Not having enough time or money to fight the charges in court, he was forced to accept a plea deal.  He now has a criminal record and was added to a database of gun-crime offenders.

On Dec. 23, in an interview with NRA Executive VP Wayne LaPierre, David Gregory held up a 30 round magazine to make a fallible argument about the increased lethality of high capacity magazines (see video below).

They get more and more bold, day by day, showing themselves to be the elitists they feel they should be.

That's how Marie Antoinette and her Louis acted too.
