I weep for the species...

While cruising CNN for info on yet another celebrity death, I ran across a pile of tripe that they pass for news these days.  Yet another piece of poor journalism that appears in CNN Money of all places, bemoaning the horrible violence forced upon poor NYC and Chicago by the evil southern states and Indiana.

See, the problem with this article is that it fails on its own premise.  It is trying to blame all of these other states, while clearly pointing out all of the methods used that are already illegal.  Straw Purchase?  Illegal.  Smuggling weapons on airplanes?  Illegal.  Importing firearms into NY for sale without an FFL and documentation?  Illegal.  In fact, all of the issues reported are already against the law.  Then the author ends with this:

Sales between non-dealers aren't subject to federal background checks. So the black market is off the grid, flowing undetected across state lines.

Wow, really?  You mean the black market isn't a public place where I can go to peruse?  Shocking.  It's as if the criminals don't care about the law or something...

Dear sir, please contact the college where you got your degree.  They owe you a refund.
