I honestly haven’t noticed.
A few months ago, my Sister mentioned that one could buy a machine gun at a gun show just as easily as buying a candy bar.
I told her that was not correct and she replied that Andrea Mitchell had reported that and she knew it was true.
I patiently explained how guns are sold and about Class III dealers and how much trouble it is to buy a real machine gun. I was a bit surprised when she realized she had been mislead and thanked me for telling her the truth.
The media telling the truth about anything regarding America is a rarity. Especially when it comes to guns.
Most people don’t know that civilians can’t legally own fully automatic firearms manufactured after 1986, and that pre-ban full auto weapons cost >$5,000 on the low end and $20,000 for a typical full auto rifle.
On the other hand, they also don’t realize that owning a suppressor is legal (in most states) provided you jump through the NFA hoops.
