Enough to make you wonder #2..

First Aurora, Colorado during the UN Gun vote,  where witnesses claim there were more than one shooter (among other irregularities) then the Wisconson shooting, suddenly another white guy massacre, in a state where the Dems spent tons of cash only to lose the runoff for governor to a Republican who reinstated their CCW laws.   Hmmm, killing alot of birds with one stone with that one. 

Now this bullshit.  Guy orders a TV in DC and gets a SIG 517 instead.   Personally, I’m beginning to think this is setup.  
You can’t order a gun from Amazon and I’m pretty sure the gun accessories places don’t sell TVs, and places that sell TVs don’t sell guns.  
There are no pawn shops on Amazon, so how did this mixup occur? Supposedly the gun was supposed to go to a gun store in PA. PA isn’t even close to DC on the keyboard…  And I don’t think anyone has even checked to see if the gun store got a TV! 
What FFL in their right mind, would write or print out a DC address and put it on a gun and ship it Fed EX to a private residence???  Not a one that “I” know…

Edit- Actually, it is beginning to look like a UPS screw up. They slapped a label over the correct one and shipped it to the wrong place.

  1. I say we find out which FFL was supposed to receive the Sig and we call em. Give me the name and I’ll do it myself.

  2. Yep – stink all over this one. Just the comment that it came from Amazon throws a shit-load of red flags.

    I will now carefully re-tape my tinfoil hat back down over my ears . . . . .

  3. Another point: I’ve seen instances where the address label on one package gets rubbed/rolled onto a different package, but wouldn’t that mean that the rifle then had TWO address destinations on it?

    I know Americans love a good conspiracy theory, but this stretches my ability to believe past the breaking point.

  4. I just ordered a television from Amazon in the hopes that they’d get the order wrong. Are you telling me that I screwed up?

  5. Actually, it is beginning to look like a UPS screw up. They slapped a label over the correct one and shipped it to the wrong place.

    But seriously, if you received a Sig 716 in the mail would you call the cops or attempt to sneak it over the border where it can be sold for serious coin.

  6. Tango- I would if I could, but that info doesn’t ‘seem’ to be available…

    eia- Yep

    Rev- Concur… sigh

    LL- LOL

    Agirl- Concur

    Andy- Hadn’t heard that. Thanks!

  7. Not sure what happened here, but it’s not uncommon for a label to be damaged in shipping and have to be replaced. It’s quite possible that the new label was either made incorrectly or the wrong label was put on the box and then put back into transit.

    Either way, this looks more like a screw up than a set up to me. The police took a few days to get there to pick it up, and if it was supposed to be a false flag thing, I would expect it to be pounced upon and paraded in front of the ever present news cameras.
