It seems to be a big thing now for Leftist media fools to go into gun stores and purchase an “assault rifle” to prove how easy it is. It’s as easy as going into a Starbucks and ordering a cup of coffee, you guys!
(CBS News) In Virginia, where the Virginia Tech shootings killed 32 people, there is no waiting period for a firearm, even for a so-called assault rifle similar to those used in Orlando and San Bernardino, reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave. (WT: the VA shooter had two handguns, not a rifle)
CBS News sent a producer into a gun store in Alexandria, just outside of Washington D.C. Per Virginia law, she provided two items to prove state residency – a drivers license and voter ID card – as well as her passport to prove U.S. citizenship.
She filled out some federal and state forms requiring her name, date of birth, social security number and a few basic questions about any past criminal activity or current restraining orders. And she passed a brief electronic background check.
All told, it took 38 minutes and $1,030 for her to walk out of the store legally armed with a rifle, 100 rounds of ammunition and a 30-round magazine.
In other words, the National Instant Criminal Backgrounds Check System (NICS) worked. Did said producer think she would be turned down for something in her past? Or, is she just another law abiding citizen?
“Throughout most of America, you could go into a gun store and buy an AR-15, just like you’d go into a Starbucks and buy a cup of coffee,” said UCLA law professor Adam Winkler.
It’s been a long time since I wasted money buying Starbucks coffee, but, I doubt they have added background checks, have they? BTW, coffee is not a Constitutional Right. Oh, and just to make it fun
Correction: The assault rifle bought was AR-15 style, similar to the one used in Orlando mass shooting https://t.co/tLLE3gkq29

Except it wasn’t an AR-15. Great journalism there guys, you can’t even name the actual rifle purchased.
