They are still not allowed to commit or participate knowingly in a crime... What crime did the show's producer commit? All he did was buy three handguns and a rifle. Private sale, so no background check is required. What was illegal, according to the report, is that the sellers were supposed to confirm the ID of the purchaser to ensure he was a state resident. Well, if this was the producers intent going in, would that be conspiracy to commit a crime? Where did the report say that was the intent of the documentary? Again, the purpose was to demonstrate how easy it is for anyone to buy a firearm. |
