NBC’S GREGORY SNUBS GUN LAWS

NBC anchor Dick Gregory wanted to do a segment on large gun magazines.  Since he was broadcasting from Washington, DC, his show contacted the authorities to see if there was any reason why he shouldn’t do it.  They advised the show that it is illegal in the district to possess a "large capacity ammunition feeding device."  The show’s request to display a 30-round magazine specifically was denied.  Gregory presented it on the show anyway.  NBC is refusing to answer questions and police are “investigating.” 

COMMENTS:

NBC as a corporate person cannot be arrested and thrown in jail but, it can be charged with a crime and heavily fined; in fact, its FCC broadcasting license should be under scrutiny because it is obvious they had due notice of the law and a denial of their request.  Gregory can be charged and jailed or fined as the law allows.  Both of these culprits should be brought to task for snubbing the law.  If the authorities refuse to enforce the laws that stand, they have absolutely no business enacting new laws and should themselves be removed from office because… they are not of the right caliber, (pun intended).     

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I saw yesterday on Fox News that Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, remains at the State Department although the Department announced on December 19 he was resigning his position over the Benghazi Massacre. In other words, their "sacrificial lamb" was an absolute farce.  How dumb do they think we are?  (Betsy ~ San Martin, CA)

A. Dumb enough to give Obama a second term.  They’ve done every stupid thing in the book that one can do and the press and media still refuse to do their damned jobs and find out what in the Sam Hell happened in Benghazi.  I said in MY AMERICAN OPINION Wednesday that the Benghazi Massacre is a national disgrace and shame, and I fully meant it.  We should all be ashamed of Obama for perpetrating it and ourselves for tolerating it. 

Q. I read yesterday not only are we reaching the fiscal cliff regarding spending and income, but we are also reaching the debt limit on Monday, something nobody is talking about.  What are they going to do about that?  (Pablo ~ Folsom, CA)

A. They’ll raise it again.  It’s a never-ending blank check.  WE should be the ones setting the debt limit, not them, and I support an Amendment to the Constitution to cover it.  Practically speaking though, who really cares?  Let’s just raise it now to $50 trillion and forget about it.  If we’ve already saddled our grand-kids with too much debt to pay, why not just pass it on to our great-great-great grand children?  What are they going to do to us, dig us up and yell at us in Chinese? 

Q. How do the rest of the Middle Eastern countries feel about Iran and Syria?  (Liet ~ Phoenix, AZ)
A. They’ve been voicing increasing displeasure with Iran’s actions in the area and seem to be ambivalent toward what is going on in Syria.  Assad is finally showing signs of weakening, but there are disturbing reports that he has used some of his chemical weapons against his own people; there are some non-lethal types of chemicals that cause temporary discomfort and may be the ones in use.  In any event, the U.N. has not asked for our help with respect to either situation, so we have no legal authority to do anything.  Yes, there may be some moral authority, but no one in Washington has any morals anymore, so that is a moot point.
