CNN Hacks Meadowview gun show.

[CM1021]

Found this on AR15 and it made my blood boil!! I was at this show and If I would have seen this jackwagon filming I would have quickly had him thrown out. There are signs that says no videography or flash photography!! This is garbage!!

They'll do whatever they can to justify their position.

[CM1021]

Ohh yeah they will!!

[Guest Broomhead]

If the sellers aren't FFLs then there is no need for IDs, paperwork, or questions. Most of us do this to CYA, but it's not necessary. What a crock of male bovine fecal matter.

 

Why would I ask someone what they are going to do with a gun I sell them? Even if I do ask for ID and a bill of sale, then it's still none of my business what they plan to do with it. If a seller asked me that I'd probably tell them I was going to go home and make love to it, or something else sarcastic.

[dralarms]

If you're not asking to see their ID, then you're asking for trouble. You have to at least know they are a resident, and then ask them if they are a felon ( if they lie that's on them).

[Guest Broomhead]

Oh, I have always asked for ID. I'm not saying that you shouldn't ask for one and probably do a bill of sale, I'm just saying that we do that to cover our butts, but it's not an absolute requirement. They just so happened to neglect that little tidbit of information just to further their agenda and make the sales seem more deplorable.

I buy a lot of private sale items. I always produce my TN DL, HCP and request a bill of sale (more or less a glorified receipt). Just how I do things.

[dralarms]

I don't care about a receipt, however I always show my HCP weather buying or selling, and if the other party does not have a HCP that's the only time I feel the need to verify the "felon" thing.

 

I've bought and sold a bunch here on TGO and this the greatest group of people I've met.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

David and a state trooper threw one out at the Hendersonville show, a while back. A guy just walked by,

smugly filming everything in the show. It was a hoot!

[Erik88]

Didn't these guys break the law by purchasing guns in a state where they are not residents and no background check?

I was not aware you are required to ask for ID for private sale.

[Dolomite_supafly]

I always ask for ID to verify they are TN residents. I generally ask for a HCP first and if they say they don't have one I ask why then ask for their TN ID. I also ask if they are allowed to have guns. Then, if the spidey senses don't go off, I sell the gun.

 

The only time I have a person sign a bill of sale is if the gun has issues. I let them know about the issues then get the buyer to sign a bill of sale saying there are not any warranties.

 

BTW, I think I have sold probably 5 guns in as many years.

 

This begs a question though. If a person is doing an "investigation" for a news organization can they break the law and get away with it?

[mikegideon]

Doesn't matter what's required. They set out to prove a point. Unfortunately, they made the point they were trying to make. Me... I wish the sellers would have asked for some ID.

[CM1021]

What the sellers did wasn't correct. should have asked for ID but what CNN did was blatantly against the law and they knew it!! But there won't be any repercussions from that.

Yes they did , what can we do about it I wonder .....

[battleop]

So both the seller and buyer broke the law and no one is going to question that?

[battleop]

LOL At the end Anderson Cooper says that the guns were turned over to CNN Security.  I bet they took them home. :)

[Oh Shoot]

So both the seller and buyer broke the law and no one is going to question that?

 

Far as I know, no state or federal laws were necessarily broken by the sellers, although it's clear the buyers broke at least federal law, so it would have to be BATF to get involved, eh?

 

But it is an inconvenient truth that it's easy for a prohibited person to get guns in personal sales in most of the US --  if I couldn't legally purchase from an FFL, you can bet I'd do it at gun shows, 'cause that's simply where the best selection is in one place.

The sellers should have asked for ID to determine residency, but since they didn't know they were selling to a non-resident (since they didn't ask) they probably didn't break the law...they're just STUPID!

 

CNN clearly did break the law though, since they knew they were out of state and not legally able to purchase a handgun in another state. But they probably won't be prosecured...another example of not enforcing the laws already on the books. :rant:

These spineless, latte drinking, took piano lessons in high school, chicken sht, nanny state, communist momma s boys pricks make me sick. Truly pathetic. No wonder Anderson cooper gets his deliveries through the back door by his male fairies. I cannot really say what I would like here.

Pretty fair start, though. :)

 

And I wish I had taken piano lessons in high school, instead of trumpet and baritone.

cnn is a mess.  Thursday it was on where I ate lunch and some bimbo they had doing "news" stated that tension with N korea was at an all time high.   I wondered how the korean war vets felt about that.

Let's not point this back at CNN... As responsible gun owners, we should be working and having discussions toward eliminating the sales of guns to mentally unstable and felonious individuals. They did their job and a good one at that. Booo hooo, CNN pointed out that any mentally unstable felon can get a weapon at a gun show. Stop complaining about what they pointed out and work on how we can work together to keep guns in the hands of law abiding and sane citizens.

Typical Obama supporter....I'm sure you're proud of King Obama's push for gun control.

Damn, you're good :). Fact is though, if we don't police ourselves, somebody else will. CNN drew that blood fair and square. They SHOULD have to answer to the ATF, though. I wonder if anybody has called it to their attention. They bought guns illegally and transported them across state lines.
