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.
Your car is a deadly weapon. Get over it.
Why do people with any sort of brain continue to make this argument?

Cars aren't designed to be used to kill things.

My kid isn't learning to drive by hitting within the outline of a
person on the street.

Get a ****ing clue.
Guns are used for target shooting, hunting, and also competition. There
is also home defense but it's obvious that makes you **** your pants.
Had a gun, Earl. Decided I didn't want it around in the same house as
my children.

I enjoy fine machinery as much as anyone, just concerned about having
toys that are designed to be deadly.
Who considers their firearm to be a toy?

So what would be your solution to the problem, jps?

I hope you also filled in your pool. (the leading cause of child death
in the US)

Greg, a pool in the Pacific NW doesn't make much sense. My kids play
soccer, I have the medical bills to prove it.

Wow!! he got a Sig716 chambered in .308 sent right to his door step.
Oh, he did the right thing by turning it in. I would have as well, but
I would have been very tempted to grab a couple boxes of shells and
take it to the rifle range to make sure it was sighted in correctly.
After all, there's no need to accept defective merchandise.

For $100, you could have found someone to turn it into full auto and
then shot up a bowling alley. Well, not you, of course, but there are a
couple of posters here who might do that sort of thing.
