Saw that earlier today. Wonder who the guy was from Columbus Indiana referenced?

I'm sure it took a while before they found these people mentioned.

Oh no.
People do illegal things.
And I (reporter) didn't do anything other than wring his hands.

I just don't think the 870 would have arrived at his house in NY, but the money would be gone for sure.

This is not from a reporter. Cracked is a humor website. Just funny people writing about their experiences.

Don't hate on Cracked.

It jumps into the gun foray, it takes its chances.

Stopped reading at "Bushmaster XM15E2S AK".

Sure. But Cracked puts out so much good for every dud. I frequent the site and enjoy their content overall.

I've found that most of their gun entries and pretty level headed.

I feel like that kid that says, I can't believe I ate the whole thing. I can't believe I read the whole thing. Pretty directly anti-gun with the red flag comments like the description of scratches on a shotgun and what belches out. I don't think even Californians could be blinded by this stuff. I have never seen anything but straight up people trying to do the right thing. I know the rule about 10 10 80. 10% of any group are great. 10% of any group are bad. and 80% of any group are people that are neither. I never am sure about the percentages, but I'm pretty sure the concept is right. I just haven't seen the bad guys. On the other hand, I show my ID before they ask. I expect the same and get it. I guess I've been lucky, but shipping across state lines to a non FFL is insane. I can't imagine thinking the profit justifies the risk. But, as I have said for years working in the Justice system, we shouldn't charge these people with a crime, we should charge them with stupidity.

IMHO, these folks are operating in the noise of the system. There are so many legit deals going on, the bad ones can go pretty much unnoticed. Also, have to keep in mind the mentality of the sellers; they might need that $400-500 or lose a home or car, and figure it's worth the risk. They're at the end of their ropes; jail might be a welcome change for awhile.

Considering how little we hear about such deals, it seems like the bad folks are getting away with it most of the time.
