    I'm not inclined to ignore a year and a half of reports about a criminal proceeding saying one thing, simply because a CNN Money blog post says it was all just a hilarious misunderstanding.

    The article referenced was from Fortune, not CNN. Do you have a problem with Fortune?

    Their business is reporting on very well off private companies. I don't think the US federal government and it's undercover operations fall under that purview.

    Customers can legally buy as many weapons as they want in Arizona as long as they're 18 or older and pass a criminal background check. There are no waiting periods and no need for permits, and buyers are allowed to resell the guns. "In Arizona," says Voth, "someone buying three guns is like someone buying a sandwich."
    since when do you need a background check to buy a sandwich?

    Paragraphs like this reveal the slant, attempts to mislead the public that are not aware of the laws... and paint the picture that they need more laws to stop gun trafficking- they even try to say it's not illegal under AZ law...

    bottom line, this is NOT an unbiased, truthful article.

    After reading this article, and it's misleading slant- YES, I do now.
    Oh, and a quick google search reveals Fortune is owned by Time Warner... same parent company as CNN and Time magazine.

    I wasn't a reader before, and I won't be one in the future.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
