Uhm, BS.
Disgusting that media is using the tragedy of Rick Warren’s son for the anti-2nd Amendement agenda.
Baloney.....
Hey Rick - you can disregard anything I said about you. The left was right - you are a putz.
What in God’s name is an “unregistered gun”? And is an “unregistered gun” the same as an “illegal gun”?
By the way, isn’t it nice of Rick Warren to “forgive” the poor guy who simply sold a gun to somebody who probably could have walked into Dick’s or LL Bean’s or any number of other places and bought a shotgun over the counter anytime he wanted to?
BTW doesn’t California have a lot of tough anti-gun laws? Which leaves the question, why was the “hot” attorney general, according to Obama, enforcing those laws?
It will be “nearly impossible” to trace where pastor Rick Warren’s son bought the shotgun he used to take his own life last week, an Orange County Sheriff’s Department official said.
The gun that 27-year-old Matthew Warren used to shoot himself in his Mission Viejo home on April 5 was unregistered, had its serial numbers scratched off and was purchased online, said department spokesman Jim Amormino. A source close to the investigation confirmed it was a shotgun.
[“At one point in time, it may have been [registered], but it’s going to be impossible to find out.”]
The FBI lab can usually raise these numbers if they are stamped on.
He may be referring to an online forum. Unless the seller used a disposable phone and forum ID to arrange the transaction, he will probably be found. However the gun was sold, though, it’s not as if he pointed the gun at Warren’s son’s head.
That story just doesn’t sound right.
There is undoubtedly more to the story and the way it is being described as if all guns are supposed to be registered.
How? Did he meet someone sketchy on Craigslist and arrange a purchase? I’m pretty sure Cheaper Than Dirt won’t ship w/o an FFL.
Proof Warren is a POS.
I guess it’s easier to blame guns then his failed role as a father.
Horsecrap. The FBI has had the ability to read serial numbers that have been ground off with a power grinder, based on the metal deformation in the metal by the number stamps.
And they've had that ability for years.

unless it was a private sale between individuals, ummm, no, rick. just no.
Head down to the airport Rick. Barry will be sending AF1 over to pick you up in a flash. Bring a lobbyist’s handbook and a flaming copy of the Bill of Rights with you. You’re an official victim of that evil NRA now!! Also, if he “bought it off da intanet”, it would show that “waiting periods” obviously don’t work.
And I forgive Rick Warren for "forgiving" the seller, thus backhandedly casting the seller as some kind of sinner. As if his son couldn't just as easily have killed himself with a registered gun.
Rick Warren turns my stomach.
Fiction could not have contrived a better mechanism for Warren to exhibit his faux Christianity.
He STINKS.
