Isn't there a law in the USA that says if something is delivered to you, you don't have to give it back?
Assault Rifle Mixup
The tone of the article is horrendous, and of course, the Brady Bunch chimes in with a typical "Think of the children!" bleating that makes my teeth ache.Seth Horvitz, a Washington D.C. resident, ordered a flat-panel television online but instead had a high-powered assault rifle delivered to his door, according to a report from WTTG-FOX 5.
DCist reported that Horvitz had ordered the flat-panel TV through a third-party seller on Amazon.com. The box was left in the hallway of his apartment building.
Particularly entertaining is the way the rifle is treated like animate nuclear waste, ready all by itself to render death and mayhem on a biblical scale.
chogy,

The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"
-Leo Tolstoy

Why is the guy complaining? (He must be a nutty anti!) I'm sure that Sig is worth a lot more than that darn television that he ordered!
Imagine gunnut waking up with a 716 on his door.

To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.
The news report make it sound like this stuff happens often.
The rifle was supposed to go to a retailer, which is legal to ship to. It's also legal for the factory to ship a gun to the owner of the gun if it was sent in for work.
Is it legal to walk it to the post office?The police told Horvitz that it was illegal to transport the gun in a car and therefore it couldn't be sent back, Horvitz told Fox-5.
I received wrong merchandise before. These things happen. It's just that guns aren't normal merchandise and usually are tracked closely by all parties involved.
I have had guns delivered to my house before. It's awesome when one could order online and have guns show up at the front door a few days later.
Of course I have a license for that...

I would immediately notify the authorities of this highly dangerous weapon inside Kommiefornia borders. God forbid, it might walk out the front door, load itself, and start shooting innocent children, all without a nutjob or a terrorist behind the trigger.Originally Posted by Doktor

I think in the midst of ridiculing the dumbass antis and stupid news reporters, we have forgotten the most important question in this entire episode: WHERE IS THE TV?

Yeah, well......In the interest of making California safer I would drive all the way to the Oregon/Cali border and take that off your hands. I would even be willing to drop off a TV for trade.
So, you got the TV huh?

Odd. Over here it's perfectly legal to ship weapons by mail or similar from anyone to anyone, provided the package is handed to the recipient in person (and not left somewhere). Pretty common too.
No. But I would get one if it would seal the deal.
There is no way I would UPS a TV. Those dumb asses would toss it over the fence. They must hire ex baggage handlers from the airline industry.
Call it a sacrifice for Cali's kids.
I never said you did. Someone who ordered and never got the TV didThere is no way I would UPS a TV.
Over here UPS is pretty good, tho I never had experience with fragile objects.Those dumb asses would toss it over the fence. They must hire ex baggage handlers from the airline industry.
Now, where the hack is the TV

The dude who ordered the SiG probably has the TV . . . . .
