What BS is Fox 31 hyping?

Emailed them with an abbreviated version of the abode email. I'm sure they won't care.

Journalism these days exists for one reason: To get eyes on webpages, TV shows, or papers, so that they can sell advertisements. Period.

You can't trust any news source that has to get revenue at all, really - which means virtually every single place you hear your news.

The best you can do is develop good filters and try to catch news from a whole bunch of sources and sift any "truth" out of it. That's a sad state of affairs, but there you have it.

Well just watched it ...

didn;t bother to say till the end .. that a law changing it has already passed...


oh and apparently " so called assault weapons are illegal in denver " ( exact quote) ...

Wow, I spent two hours with them for about fifteen seconds of screen time! *LOL* Wonder if they'll run the rest of the interview tomorrow.

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.

Uh, actually there is. Filling out a federal form with false information is a federal felony. Filling out a form using false information is against the CRS and listed under Fraud. Passing a false ID is also a crime in the CRS. Handing a false ID to an officer is a felony, the others are a misdemeanor.

Don't think about this as a "straw purchase". You've zoned in on that and can't see the bigger picture.

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

Yeah...in a place where people can see you, to be safer, and be recorded! MY GOD!!!!!!

No one called the cops because people aren't quite the terrified lemmings they try to present everyone as.

They are. You cannot have an "assault weapon" in the city and/or county of Denver. Just like you cannot open carry on or about your person in public nor in a vehicle, nor can you conceal carry in the car while in the city and/or county of Denver.

Just saw it... Now I want to put some kind of disclosure in any ad I post...

Or better yet, I'll ask everyone that I sell to (for the next month) if they are part of the media...

Would it be unlawful for people to deny it if they are?

[rockhound]

They did mention that the sales were legal, feined astonishment that none seemed to care about the gun sales in the parking lot

Definitely meant to shock the public, the onlu thing i saw illegal was the purchase with three people, makes it agun show does it not? Making it illegal for them to.purchase without a bgc

Fox reporters broke the law?

[wax_job]

did you miss the other multiple threads about them going out trying to buy firearms?

Yes. Yes I did.

The heck!?!

[buffalobo]

The usual slant to a normal legal activity. The agenda more than obvious. Low information viewers will eat it up.

There are 3-4 local news that competes with KDVR. I will just watch those other 3-4.
