And Now, the Rest of the Story...

That's funny...there's nothing in this "Authorized Journalist" report about Bloomberg's sneaky tactics...

But Phil Trexler does tell readers "private sales ... take place routinely ... on the Internet." I'm sure what he meant to say is that people can agree to hook up through the Internet and then do all kinds of things once they meet in person.  What he's really trying to say is the government needs to ban private sales and create a record of all gun purchases, but he's too skilled a sympathizer to admit that.

And he quotes a helpless victim (who better to take advice from?) and lets the statement  “Background checks could have changed that” go unchallenged, despite the fact that the mad dog shooter stole the gun from his uncle.

I guess when you're a "real journalist" on salary (as opposed to #justablogger), you're above such petty details.

Funny -- we also learn we can have guns on the sidewalk at the corner of the park, but if we step over an imaginary line we suddenly become criminals.  Must be something in the grass.
