Memo to leftist news editors: those stories you keep writing where you send reporters to buy guns to prove I dont know, whatever youre trying to prove? You may want to run your own background check on the reporter first. You know, to avoid the inevitable surgical removal of your foot, lodged forcibly into your own mouth. Also to prevent ours from being lodged forcibly up your ass. ObamaCare probably wont cover that. Unless youre a transgender something or other.
Just ask the Chicago Sun Times, who sent a reporter (who wrote this) to buy a gun, only to find out he wasnt allowed to: In an attempt to show how easy it is to buy a modern sporting rifle, Neil Steinberg, of the Chicago Sun-Times, was denied by the store owners because it was uncovered that Mr. Steinberg has an admitted history of alcohol abuse, and a charge for domestic battery involving his wife.
Mr. Steinburg tried to allege that wasnt the real reason. According to him it was because, they knew I planned to immediately sell it back to them.
He further complains that people who have yet to commit a crime, unlike him, are able to buy guns. Would-be terrorists can buy guns But reporters . . . thats a different story.
Thank you to all the gun trolls who said, without even realizing it, "We believe guns should be kept from people for the flimsiest reasons."
1. We dont think guns should be kept from people for the flimsiest reasons. But ten points for your use of flimsiest. Youve probably only used that word to describe some of your appendages. FYI Neil, were laughing at your expense because its funny. There you were, trying to be all Look it how easy it is to buy a scary black rifle,' only to have a background check disqualify you from purchasing said rifle. Some might call it irony. Others karma. Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-toe.
2. A typical, white, leftist male who thinks domestically abusing their wife is a flimsy reason to not own a weapon? Okay, no. If youve been charged with a violent crime, maybe someone like, I dont know maybe Im grasping at straws here, YOUR WIFE, wouldnt want you to have a weapon. Any kind of weapon. Even a scary black rifle. Maybe not even a baseball bat. Because domestic violence.
3. As to the bitch-fest about people who havent yet committed a crime being able to purchase guns then commit a crime complaint. Right. Because Apple has yet to develop a crystal ball. No one can ever know if someone is going to be a would-be anything. Theres no app for that. Ask your wife. She probably didnt know you were an abusive super-douche. Yet no one stopped her from marrying you. Because no one can time-travel.

Every big gun massacre, some Lefty puke reporter tries this. It never ends well.
