Seriously, when it comes to the lame stream media, is there any other kind? This article is a mis-titled, loosely fact based (very loosely) hit piece. Not only that, what they did was probably illegal as hell.
Internet sales go through an FFL, this 'sting' was simply private sales. Yep, the same 'ole tripe carted out to ban gun shows. Heh, kinda like buying from the classified ads in the local dead tree publication there Sherlock ...
● "police-grade pistol" = normal pistols that people carry everyday
● "semi automatic assault rifle" = normal rifle (it can't be both semiautomatic and assault)
● "meet ’em in a parking lot, and buy a freaking AK-47" = if true (highly unlikely) that one IS an assault rifle. Hmm ... buying unregistered machines guns gets you time in the GrayBar hotel.
● "tactical assault rifle modified to use bullets for an AK-47" = FAIL on two counts ... This had me ROFLMAO! These genious's bought a Simonov, the precursor to the Kalashnikov. Neither assault rifle nor modified, and of course it fires the same round. This statement wins the internetz !1!1!
● "Glock-23 with hollow-point bullets, made to inflict serious internal damage" = Oh, ya mean them Black Talon copkiller boolitz? I carry 'em, cops carry 'em. You should too!
In all seriousness tho', this story is so over the top even the most hardcore hoplophobes probably got a chuckle from it ...
