Be careful where you bear your arms. Washington, D.C., police announced that they are investigating Meet the Press after David Gregory, the host, displayed what he said was a high-capacity ammunition magazine. The incident occurred during Gregory’s interview with National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre on Sunday, while the two were discussing whether high-capacity ammunition should be banned.

A police spokeswoman confirmed, “We are investigating this matter.”
