The GAO did the research and placed into a report. That made it official. It might be wrong, it might be stupid but it is there. And the Brady's are happy to quote it with "See how easily you can get one of these super destructive weapons on any street corner!". They technically aren't lying because the Gov't did say so. But the truth of that assertion needs to be challenged wherever they bring it up. I'm not shocked the Gov't did it. It's sad, really. But not a surprise. Doesn’t matter, Rob.

The original report says roughly "you can get a second hand .50 for about $3000, we found a used one for sale on the internet for $29.95." Drop the decimal point and you get about $3000. The obviousness of the typo really, really highlights the mendacity of the Bradys. No, it has to be a typo in the original report, which the lying Brady Bunch ran with.
