Dead on 'Arrival'

I watched "Arrival" last night on Hulu.

12 huge alien ships have suddenly appeared hovering at seemingly random points around the globe. People are coming to grips with the reality of such a change everything event and relying on "the news" to learn whatever they can.

Per one of the reports:
"The ATF has put a temporary ban on new gun licenses, forcing many independent suppliers of hunting equipment and firearms to close their doors to the public."
Right.

Still, they do seem to have both government and "Authorized Journalists" pegged.

This is one of those situations where Hollywood scriptwriter ignorance accidentally stumbles on a core truth most -- not the media nor proponents of "existing law" -- want to admit: A NICS green light is nothing if not a license.
