They are trying to sway public input for the bill to ban .50 cal. weapons sales in the US. I NEVER watch CNN but was surfing and caught the segment .My answer to all their steps in buying the weapon on the internet and ammunition was so what .. The funny thing is you can check a weapon in your luggage but now they want the TSA to ban lighters and matches (even in your luggage).
I dont think you can check a weapon in your luggage ..Thats not true
you have to be VERY careful with leftist reporters.
During the 2004Olympics a British reporter was caught going into a secure area PROPERLY (x-ray, hand check bags, magnatometer, proper credential check) THEN he did a story on he he got in improperly.
Similarly it would not surprise me that CNN did a dan rather or dateline in order to promote the mission of their story.
They want the guns in the luggage so they can get the ser#'s off them to add to the database.
