It has now become official that the powers that be will look the other way and David Gregory will not be prosecuted for a gun crime. This should make everyone in America (Whats left of it) madder than hell:
Criminal charges wouldn’t serve the public’s best interests even though possession of the magazine — capable of holding up to 30 rounds of ammunition — was clearly against the law.
