Well played

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

So, a reporter went out to do the “see how easy it is to buy an AR-15” story. And discovered that those gun laws he’s advocating are already there. It gets better because the gun store refused to sell it to him due to his admitted history of alcohol abuse, and a charge for domestic battery involving his wife. I would think the latter would have prevented him the purchase anyway.

    Here’s a “common sense” gun law; any politician who proposes more legislation or journalist who does a hit piece should be required to submit to a NICS.

    Wonder just how many of them couldn’t buy a guy from an FFL if they wanted to? I’m sure most wouldn’t grok the irony, but the reasons for the “N”s and the LE followup on them should be made public.

    “…buy a gun…”

    “It’s not because I’m a drunk.
    It’s not because I’m a wife-beater.
    It’s because I’m black a journalist.”

    MSM, I’ll let you in on a little secret. S*** like this is why nobody believes you.

    “…a shameful display of cowardice…”

    Says Josh in Earnest.

    I would have to agree, it has been, eight years long and counting.

    @JTC, and as I keep repeating in comments, just apply “the equal protection of the laws” in the 14th Amendment to ALL gun control legislation so that they also apply to elected officials AND their government agents hired guns. Then see how few, if any, they will support.

  6. JTC Says:

    “…apply (equality as specified in the Declaration of Independence)to ALL…legislation so that they also apply to elected officials…”

    FIFY. The only difference as to gun rights equality is due to the added legislation and complications much later on. And as I intimated above it would be hilarious to see who and why get FAIL on their apps.

  7. Sigivald Says:

    No, a charge that was later dismissed won’t get you a denial, per the law.

    Only a conviction or a restraining order.

    (Per the details I saw they said it was not a NICS denial, but they decided he was Not A Nice Person.)

  8. JTC Says:

    No, “a charge that was later dismissed” won’t get you “denied” but it will likely get you “delayed”. Meaning dude won’t be completing a gun purchase right away…or at all if the FFL feels *he* should deny the sale.

    Which he has a perfect *right* to do for any reason, whether he thinks dude is “not a nice person” (like playing the dealer for a story), and has an *obligation* to do if he suspects the gun is not for the buyer’s own use (straw man).

    And in this case both conceivably apply; the dealer handled it well, no reason to imply he denied dude’s rights by asserting his own rights and/or responsibilities.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
