No charges over NBC ammo clip display [View all]
http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/11/politics/guns-nbc/index.html?hpt=hp_t2Washington (CNN) -- No employees of NBC will face criminal charges over the display of a high-capacity ammunition magazine on a "Meet the Press" program in violation of local law in Washington, prosecutors told the network on Friday.
The capital city's attorney general, Irvin Nathan, said in a letter to NBC there would be no charges, but added that it was "a very close decision."
Nathan also said "there is no doubt of the gravity of the illegal conduct in this matter, especially in a city and a nation that have been plagued by carnage from gun violence."

Is there a double standard or would charges serve no purpose in this?
