I would say intentionally dishonest rather than ignorant, but that's just my opinion.
This “journalist” has done absolutely NOTHING to qualify any of their statements, and they’ve obviously taken every talking point from the likes of the Brady campaign. Gun shows are legal gatherings of like-minded gun owners trading, selling, bartering, and buying modern and not-so-modern weaponry. Vendors who work these shows are required to conduct background checks and adhere to waiting periods as proscribed by local and state governments.
This article is typical liberal claptrap and the write should be made to account for sources.
Sounds to me like the author, Husna Najand, should give it a shot and report back.
I don't have any friends like this. I doubt many people on this forum do either. The question also has to be posited: How or why would I have this "friend's" gun anyway?
Also, if I go to cash a check and tell the teller I'm going to go buy a gun or drugs with it, should they stop me? How would they know I'm not joking? Do we want to turn that teller into an agent of law enforcement, requiring them to report my remarks to law enforcement?
The "evidence" presented in this article is all anecdotal, and was "gathered" by one of the most anti-gun mayors in the world. I'm sure every word of it is complete, accurate, and reliable. Videotaping these interactions gives them only slightly more credibility.
I do agree that the mentally incompetent author of this article should not have a gun.
Besides that, it’s (can’t determine gender from name) probably a mohammadan and shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun in the U.S. until it renounces its religion.
There are over 200 million guns in American hands and, except for in the black community, these guns are remain silent except when taking to the gun range or on a hunting trip.
How bout the same checks and requirements for people requesting gov’t handouts.
It is clear that Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered and paid for a number of straw purchases that crossed State lines. Where is the Prosecution?
We should also muzzle ignorant, lying leftist journalists to protect the public from being exposed to total BS in written form. Some people will believe anything they read. Mental instability in such an open and accessible arena as the internet should not be tolerated.
If IT is in Vermont, charge IT $500.00, LOL.
The ATF controls these shows. Every single agent in Nevada is at a Nevada gun show. They work with the promoters, they have straw buyers trying to trip up sellers, they have informants by the ton they don’t even have to pay - like this anti-American and anti-Constitutional useful idiot.
I think that a bigger concern right now is the fact that voters have put an unqualified marxist into the White House without an adequate background check. And he is the Commander in Chief of a military with far more firepower than one would ever see at a gun show.
I thought this was going to be about a gun maker inside the state, only selling for use in the state.... :(
Yeah, the comments are great. Author taken to the woodshed.
There's a difference between already having clear evidence, vs. going on "fishing expeditions". The more accurate question is: But should you return it if for all you know that person is mentally stable like anyone else and "would not hurt a fly" (save only to defend innocent life)?
Stopped there. If the author has to be mortally suspicious of his own friends, his further opinions are not worth my time.
Author is either ignorant or dishonest. The premise is false.
Rest of the article is pointless.
