***”get out of jail free” card just for being a ahem, journalist?***
It happens in the news media all the time. I remember when MSM reporters gave a teen several thousand dollars to buy handguns at a gun show. He did.
Then they made a news report on why we needed background for all guns.
Among the guns bought were new Berettas and several other high dollar guns.
When the program ended, the reporter turned to the camera, holding up these new high dollar firearms and declared, with a smug look on his face, ...”THESE guns will be turned over to the police WHERE THEY WILL BE DESTROYED!”
No one was prosecuted for the “straw man” buys.
Yes.
Media people are members of the new aristocracy.
I know, now that I am one.
