A family friend posted this on FB. I love the man and his family even though they are ultra-liberal lefties. Many of his FB friends went nuts over this article. I posted a reply on how I found it firstly to be horse-hockey (full disclosure, I have been wrong plenty of times) and then pointed out two other things: It was said to be satire and the absolute absence of anything supporting her claim except that she assured her audience that the story was "100 percent true."

But you know what I could buy online without a big hassle?" said Bee, "A used shotgun on armslist.com from a random guy down the road from the TBS headquarters in Atlanta. So I had one of my employees buy it from him in a parking lot without a background check from the trunk of his car.
So--shades of Katie Couric--yet another completely illegal straw purchase by the media (2:02 in the video)? Should this also be reported to the BATF?

I might have been able to accept the satire and humor if she hadn't tried to open the segment with "statistics."

I mentioned to my friend the possibility of a Federal law being broken with the description of a straw purchase. I included my opinion of our current justice department not being too concerned since prosecuting the offense would not go well with the current administration's agenda.
