Anyone can buy guns, no questions asked

207. I saw the piece on MSNBC

Complete with unsubtle scary music.

It was hysterical. People were advertising on-line that they had guns to sell, and they were looking for buyers. Buyers that would give them more than a gun dealer or pawn shop would.

The sellers weren't dealers, just average joes looking to turn guns back into cash so they could pay their mortgage or whatever. Or perhaps, even, they "saw the light" and decided to disavow gun ownership.

Regardless, this was treated as:





The tone of the narrator, the background music, the descriptions... all of the "Oh my God, you won't believe this! And you should be outraged!" variety.


That's my issue, as if this was some massive, hidden conspiracy by the NRA and the Koch Brothers to secretly overturn the law or something, when in fact private-sale laws have been in effect for decades and were unchanged and unaffected by the Brady Bill or the Assault Weapons Ban.
