This statement "...not a tricked-out assault rifle with a 30 or 100 round clip."
Says it all.
In one of my posts, I link to an article written just 2 weeks ago about “how easy it was for (him) to buy this rifle at a gun show”
He’s only had the rifle for a few months... and he used a gunshow to get it. Probably because he heard “... how easy it was” and he is actually flagged to not get one.
