David Codrea notes that Shannon Takes the Cake:
Shannon: “You can buy these, body armor piercing bullets, at a gun show locally?”
Sheriff Bradshaw: “Oh absolutely.”
Shannon: “I can buy this at our local gun show?”
Sheriff Bradshaw: “You can buy any of those--a bullet is a bullet.”
This means anyone, even a team of Contact Five Investigators, with no training, and no license to carry a gun can buy bullets—lots of them.
What an expose by these investigators. For their next trick, they'll reveal that...that...
Okay, I'm stumped. I can't think of anything more stupid than this.
Here's the lead from the story:
Violence is on the rise and police are being gunned-down with assault weapons.
In the state of Florida you must have a license to carry a gun, but not to buy bullets to fill those guns.
Currently there is no law in the State of Florida that tracks bullet sales and our team of producers found that it's quite easy to get their hands on some dangerous ammunition.
I'm telling you. A big concerted push to ban, though they'll start with regulating, regular ammunition used in scary assault weapons is coming. They've been spectacularly unsuccessful stopping their scary assault weapons, so they're going to go after the ammo. And if they pass assault weapon ammo regulations and bans, they'll next point out that hunting ammunition is more powerful than scary assault weapon ammo.
Meanwhile, my 12-year-old son can't buy BBs.
UPDATE: I left this as a comment over at War on Guns:
How about:
This means anyone, even a team of Contact Five Investigators, with no training, and no license to drive a car can buy gasoline—lots of it.
