Guy orders a tv, gets a SIG 716 sent straight to his house instead.

I received a couple gun cases at work when I ordered sunglasses if I recall.

Do you think this excuse would work at home? "I swear I ordered you some new shoes."

Caroline Brewer, Spokesperson for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence:

"Clearly, it's a dangerous situation in America when assault weapons are so prevalent and can so easily end up in the wrong hands, especially given that the rifle was left on the doorstep. Thank goodness, Mr. Horvitz and his wife alerted the Metropolitan police right away. This mishap could have led to another tragedy."

Clearly. Thank goodness. I wonder if they could have used more catch phrases from their little brainwash pamphlet......

Very dangerous. Assault. Prevalent. Ends up in the wrong hands. Tragedy.
Oh yeah... they missed one......

Just think of the Children.......

Poor timing given the current state of events, and the storyline fits the Brady's rhetoric....interesting....

You recon there's foul play afoot?

Whens the last time a private citizen had a high-end black rifle delivered to their door by "mistake" in DC...I don't usually wear a tinfoil hat...but the fact that the guy's an urban DC hipster, and already giving press releases to the Bradies is enough to make me reach for the Reynolds.

Yep. More fuel for the anti's fire. Tin foil secured even tighter around my head. This wasn't an accident.

The good side - apparently we can now order our guns through Amazon :cheerleader2:

Heading to the store for more tinfoil!

Red flag!
Isn't Fox renowned for it's right wing bias? If so, then why would this even make news. I'm sure it's not the first time something like this has happened.
On a side note, I might have to start requesting UPS shipping for all my purchases.
