MSNBC Report on "Easy" Online Gun Sales

[carlosdarwin]

Dear Calgunners,

I don't consider myself a conservative at all, but this nonsense I just saw on MSNBC 10:45 pm EST about how purportedly "easy" it is to legally get guns online really smacks of willful disinformation. They imply that you can (legally) click a button on the Internet and get a gun delivered to you in a parking lot without a background check. No mention of the law that supposedly makes this legal, no mention of the websites that advertise this service.

MSNBC is at least as bad as Faux News.

Your thoughts?

cdn
PS: Will likely send a polite email to them when I cool off.

SMH its the same procedure you go thru when you buy a gun at a actual store, fail

Your exactly right - Willful disinformation.

But I'm sure 98% of the people who saw it will believe it as gospel and will willingly vote for more gun control to "close the loopholes" to "save the children"...

Misinformation maybe, disinformation no. They are not talking about an FFL shipping you a gun and sending to you, they are talking about auction sites and classified ad sites where people are advertising PPT's. In some states, AZ for example, an in-state PPT does not have to go through an FFL.

Come Valentines day this year people in Arizona will have been selling guns PPT for 100 years

Arizona was the 48th state in the USA; it became a state on February 14, 1912
