NBC video: gun buying sting

[Wildeman_13]

I like the guy who says he has no problems selling a .50 BMG. He realizes it isn't a big deal. The reporter claims a .50 BMG is the choice of the drug cartels. Idiot.

Well sure! If given a CHOICE I would pick the .50 BMG too! Who wouldn't?!?!?

Unfortunately the media creates more drama and makes issues bigger than they are. I am not down playing this event at all, and my prayers go out to the families and the survivors. But every news cast I have seen yet just focuses on the phrase "Assault Weapons". This creates a more dramatic effect. But even if this guy could not get guns he would have just done something else to hurt people. Evil people will always find a way. But making this about guns and gun control will only unarm all of us law abiding citizens and make us victims.

its funny, I doubt most of you want people with mental illness to have guns, yet whenever it is suggested that maybe something should be done about it, its all "ban crazies". Believe me, I own guns, shoot guns, love guns. I believe any responsible law abidding citizen should have a gun. That said, crazy people probably shouldn't. Maybe they shouldn't drive either, I don't have comment on that.

You're crazy for suggesting that we impose more restrictions on a Constitutionally-guaranteed right.

BAM! No guns for you.

Wow, wonder what undercover employee of NBC got to keep all the nice firearms the station legally purchased.

Kudos to them for putting more cash into the gun economy. Also, if there is no transfer or paperwork on a ppt.... What's to stop a Cali inmate from going on a road trip? Wonder if you could be convicted for that.

Personally I don't think sales like this should be legal, there should be good background checks with mental health screening.

I would only support that if there was a website or phone number an individual private party seller can access when they sell their gun.

If you think that is stupid cause it would be practically voluntary, you're fooling yourself cause it already is that way.

Yawn...

I hate to point out the 'California effect', but in 90% of the country you can dispose of your private property without asking the government for permission.

Freedom is kind of scary isnt it? Dont worry, baby steps....

Well, I hope no crazy person who legally bought a gun shoots you or your family.

And that's because the number of gun related deaths every year due to people with mental illness is so high? And people with questionable backgrounds who want to buy guns always follow the "legal" processes put in place.

What planet do you live on?

Well, I hope no crazy person who legally bought a gun shoots you or your family.

How mature of you.

[Coded-Dude]

everybody knows criminals and the mentally unstable follow the letter of the law to the t. we just make it easier for them to do so......

[Bangzoom]

ok now my blood pressure went up...

why dont they do a story on how easily it is to buy drugs when they are banned all over the country?..how many people die from illegal drugs? how many people die from turf wars over drugs? how many....oops im havg a strok...be rite bak

[1911su16b870]

That is an older recycled story capitalizing on the Aurora tragedy. They did all that buying in Arizona which IIRC does not have any PTP FFL requirements.

I truly hate these piece of gargage news reporters!

[QQQ]

Well, I hope no crazy person who legally bought a gun shoots you or your family.

Why does it matter if the crazy person bought the guns legally or illegally?

I just hope that the only thing between me and my being able to own a firearm to protect myself against said crazy person is not a left-wing, ivory-tower psychologist or social worker.

Just to be a smart ***, technically for a Cali INMATE to go on a road trip he would have to have broken out of jail and I'm pretty sure that's illegal


But yeah its sad that they just recycle this junk, I wonder how many of these transactions they did where the seller was, "you know what, not cool here is your money back" that they did not show.
