"“The problem is, anybody can walk in [to a gun shop] and buy anything,” Feinstein said."

Uh, I'd like 5 AK-74's (full auto, of course), 300 RPGs, IED material and some SAMs, and a couple of cruise missles, please.

Not only can the average person, ie, “anybody” NOT buy “anything”,

but the items and quantities bought in this scandal were specifically made allowance for outside the laws that DO apply to “anybody” else.

The ATF specifically told these gunshop dealers to let these suspicious activities go.

"Would you like some PETN with that?"
