That reading thing again. I was pointing out that there were already
laws that would have prevented the CNN crew from legally purchasing
the guns they bought and they still bought them. The thing that ****ed
Richard off was when I pointed out that they had to drive over 600
miles, visit 5 gun shows just to find 3 illegal sellers.
If you know anything about TV at all you know they had hours of
footage of people following the law that ended up on the cutting room
floor to get the "70 seconds" they used.
Perfectly legal in "gun show loophole states" like Virginia for
individuals to sell their regulated firearms to someone without
an instant check.
I ask again, why did CNN go to Tennessee, North Carolina and South
Carolina then? Were they saying there are no gun shows in Georgia or
are they not saying that those sellers wanted them to walk over to the
instant check booth first?
That is the problem with TV, you only see what the producer wants you
to see.
Maybe they decided to pick three nearby states within reasonable driving
distance and see how each compared in terms of easy of buying.
I just watched it again to get their story as accurate as I can.
They actually went to shows in Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina.
(They did not visit North Carolina)
They purchased twice in Tennessee and once in South Carolina for a total
of four (4) guns. One Tennessee purchase was for two (2) Glocks.
They also reported that they were asked for ID's three times, once in
each of the states visited.
If you actually watch and listen to the recorded conversations, it's
hard to conceive that this whole thing was scripted.
That is, of course, unless you think everyone they talked to are actors,
hired to play a part. If you believe that, more power to you.
What if somebody beleives something between the two.... is there no
other opinions but yours, and "it's all fake"?
