WASHINGTON — A Washington, D.C., musician who ordered a flat-screen TV
through Amazon.com was shocked to receive a semiautomatic assault
rifle instead.


Thirty-eight-year-old Seth Horvitz says he purchased the 39-inch
television from a third-party seller. A box arrived from UPS on
Tuesday evening, and it seemed too small to contain the TV. He says he
initially thought it contained accessories.


But when he opened it, he found a Sig Sauer military-style rifle. He
says he had never held a gun before he felt the trigger of the rifle.


An invoice showed that the gun was intended for delivery to a firearms
dealer in Duncansville, Penn. Horvitz called police, who took the gun
and are investigating how the mistaken shipment occurred.


Amazon.com and United Parcel Service had no immediate comment.


Not only is it butt easy to get these deadly weapons, they're in such
high supply you can now get 'em by mistake.


The guy must have **** his pants, as you would have.


I wonder how long it was before UPS came looking for that rifle.


One assumes the rifle should have been shipped to an FFL holder.



"An invoice showed that the gun was intended for delivery to a

Wasn't that the origional intent?
