what a nerd, someone is getting a new rifle
Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout "Bang!"......George Will

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.

I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.

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
