The D.C. attorney general on Friday declined to charge the host of NBC's "Meet the Press" for displaying an empty ammunition magazine on national television, saying that doing so would not make the District safer. Viewers demanded that Gregory be arrested, citing a law that makes it illegal in the District to possess a magazine, even an empty one, capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It's a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
