What BS is Fox 31 hyping?

[crashdown]

Pretty long preview on their website:

Here's your storyline.

[wctriumph]

I sent them an email and tonight I will make that list of sponsors and contact them as well.

After viewing your preview of tonight's gun buying investigative report, I must tell you that I will no longer watch any of your news programs and will seek news from a alternate source. Fox 31 has pushed the limits of tolerance with your slanted reporting that in fact shows, from what i have seen in the preview, nothing illegal. It seems that your investigations are nothing more than political propaganda orchestrated, not to be truthful but, to be produced to put forth and encourage a anti-freedom agenda from your political masters. I have made a list of the advertisers on your station and I will not purchase those items for the foreseeable future. I will compose emails and contact your advertisers and voice my opinion of your politically driven agenda and let them know that I will not support them AS LONG AS THEY SUPPORT YOUR STATION.


Sincerely yours,

If they used a false ID, it's still a crime. Depending on how they worded things and went about it, this is also fraud. It's illegal to pass a false ID to anyone for any reason and is also another crime for using the same ID for documentation purposes.

Also, the reason people do it in a parking lot is BECAUSE it's being recorded and there are people there!

Remember, social media is your friend. Be polite, cordial and non-threatening. Lay out the facts and shoot (no pun intended) holes in their story tomorrow. I'm sure they're going to leave out the names they used, intentions of the firearms and the part where the person confirmed they could legally own a gun. That part was probably done in the emails prior to the meeting. I'm very interested to watch this piece tonight.

So what is the punishment for this?



As far as I can tell, this use of a false name in a private firearms transaction has no correlation to a straw purchase and those laws or punishments because there is no 4473 or federal lying/misrepresentation.

Any eye-opening investigation! People can buy things from other people, and they like to meet in public places!

[TFOGGER]

I'm guessing you could buy a whole SET of dangerously sharp knives at the store where this transaction took place, without anyone asking for ID or performing a background check. Those knives would be capable of killing DOZENS, without the need to reload!

I've been watching Fox 31 News org. making a head of steam to the left for a number of months. After the reveal of their shenanigans at Armslist, I've turned them off. I'll watch sports on Fox, but nothing else.

I basically sent a shorter version of yours saying that I have a choice, and FOX 31 has been removed from my channels list.
