So of course they go running to the Brady Brainless Bunch for a sound bite.

If I lived in DC, I'm not really sure I'd have called the police about that from home...

Also, a Sig 716 in on my "won the lotto" list.

At least the police didn't arrest him.

I can imagine the 911 call going this way.

Citizen: hi i ordered a TV but received a scary black rifle instead
911: its illegal to receive those here you just committed a felony
Citizen: can i take to the local police station?
911: sorry transportation of that class of firearm is also illegal.
Citizen: mail it back to sender?
911: Shipping scary black rifles out of D.C. also illegal.
Citizen: Drive it back to the sender?
911: crossing city lines with it is also illegal
Citizen: well what can i do?
911: well you can wait for the SWAT team to arrest you or you can start running right now

I wonder if Amazon has seen an uptick in online TV sales?

[gigag04]

This could have led to "another tragedy" says the Brady Campaign rep...

Another!?

[Purplehood]

The Brady Bunch believes that 110% of us on this forum are tragedies waiting to happen.

I could use another TV....
Need the URL for ordering!

And of course DC police confiscated it, and told him it was illegal to have and transport, etc, etc. etc.

Yep, it's probably already issued and on Patrol.
If not, I'm sure someone has their "Dibs" on it.

All I want to know is why that guy is wearing red fingernail polish?

Gun in the mail? What gun in the mail? I don't know what you talking about?
