CBS News producer shows how easy it is to buy an assault rifle
Only one problem with that.
- Gun Store Claims CBS News Violated Federal Law to Make Buying AR-15 Look Easy
- Gun Store Owner: CBS Lied, Broke Federal Law With Undercover Sting
- Gun store owner says undercover CBS reporter broke federal law to purchase AR-15
- While showing how easy it is to buy an AR-15, CBS News may have violated federal gun control laws
- Store Owner: Undercover CBS Purchase of AR-15 Broke Federal Law
Based on CBS' recent history, from the Lovin-In Steve Croft interview of Obama and Hillary to the present, seems that CBS is in deep with the leftist agenda it keeps pushing.
Break the law in order to push the narrative.
Isn't that inherently dishonest?
Is that exactly NOT supposed to be the purpose and role of a free press?
Isn't this exactly counter to the free press' social contract of a well informed electorate?
What do you think?
Break the law in order to push the narrative.
I don't get what the problem is, that CBS is supposedly exposing? Easy to legally buy a firearm in the US? Isn't that what the 2nd Amendment protects?
If you pass the federal background check, you have the money to pay for the firearm, and you are complying with federal, state, and local laws (including not performing a straw purchase) then why the outrage?
Maybe I'm just too stupid to get it, but I don't see what the problem is that CBS is supposed to be exposing?
Isn't the narrative that these guns move from hand to hand and the laws currently in place do very little if nothing to stop it? It seems they proved the point they were going for.
Why should the law stop, make it more expensive or difficult for people buying or selling guns?
This gun moved from one FFL dealer to another after being used as a prop for a (gotcha?) news bit.
Proving something is legal and possible, leftist party line, by breaking federal law? It seems dishonest of the media to do so to me (hence posted in media bias forum).

I get that they have an agenda. I just think they failed miserably. Also, if she transferred the firearm to an FFL then she didn't break the law. Did she and CBS as a whole use unethical and immoral means? Of course they did. Did they prove anything? Yeah, but not what they were aiming for, rather they proved that the laws work, and that the 2nd Amendment right of the lady buying the firearm was protected.
Now, if they wanted to try and prove something, then CBS should have sent in a person that had an issue that should have shown up on NICS and would have been refused the purchase after the background check.
I agree. Had CBS sent in someone with a known disqualification to purchase that weapon, and accurately reported the results, be it denial to purchase or successful purchase, and reported it accurately, that would have been honest and worthwhile benchmark test of the purchase procedures and checks.
But that's not what they did, is it?
Form what I gather, they sent in a known eligible person with an FFL (?) for immediate purchase and made it look like the person off the street could do the same. That's pretty much a confirmation bias distortion of the facts, so in other words, lying to the viewers / electorate.
I didn't read it as the woman had an FFL, but rather sold it to an FFL after she bought it from another FFL. There's nothing wrong with that, and they didn't prove crap by doing so.
In Virginia, the state has not imposed a waiting period. Plus, it is supposed to be easy and quick to buy a firearm, even if there's a waiting period imposed by the state.
Why should it not be quick and easy? Walk in, pick the firearm and accessories that you want to purchase, fill out the Form 4473, wait for the background check to be approved, wait for any waiting period to expire, pay for the firearm and accessories, and go home with your purchase.
What's supposed to be the problem with that?
I agree. There's no problem with that from my view, however, there are many for whom this is a real problem, and want to impose more burdensome regulations and procedures and law abiding citizens wishing to purchase such a firearm.
For the same reason it's relatively expensive to transfer a house, cars, etc. They aren't toys.
I think that was kind of the point of the news bit. That they can change hands about as quickly as a pack of gum.
Yet nobody has shown that the Orlando shooter "cheated" in any way. If the goal is to stop future terrorists or criminals that have no criminal record then no amount of making everyone have more difficulty, delay and expense when buying guns is going to help.
These people didn't cheat in order to obtain a gun either. That's kind of what is being pointed out here.
Sent from a flower watered by the tears of Trump supporters and crazy newb liberals.
People with no criminal record can easily buy a gun - the horror!

What this reporter proved is that if you are willing to break the law there is little anyone can do to stop you.
