[v0lcom13sn0w]

What point are "these" people trying to proove?First its the fake facebook post by LYING US guns customer, the scared wimpy reporter whos shoulder got bruised and now this lady...theres +300million guns in America. Do "these people" think that Americans DONT know how easy it is to get a gun? Welcome to America Ms. Ubinas. if you dont like it feel free to leave and go to where you feel you'll be safer.

First off if she paid $750 for an MP sport II she got taken to begin with you could get them on line for 599 plus transfer. But then she did buy it after the shooting so prices where going up.

was thinking the exact same thing!!!

 

[Boboclown]

Stupid emotional "reporting".
She did nothing newsworthy .
A legal citizen with a clean record should be able to buy their gun of choice , without a lot of fuss.

Yes. Unfortunately some are heavily restricted or outright banned though. As I said before, even the laws here are a bit too restrictive, and they want to make it worse.

Yeah, my post was heavily laced with sarcasm. I would have loved to see her try the felon angle, as she would likely have been guilty of a felony for just setting it up.

She'd get away with it because it would suit the agenda. What we can't do they'd probably be able to do as long as it makes the people think it needs to be banned. Depending on location anyways. Here? She'd get in trouble fast.

I emailed her too. I don't expect to hear back. Hopefully she appreciated my congratulations of her wealth - at least the excess amount she has to make tossing away an $800 an easy decision. I wish I had that kind of money.

Seriously, she should have put that $800 towards the needed facelift and "filler injections" needed under her eyes that I can plainly see in her future.

Here's one where the reporter's application was rejected due to his admission of alcohol abuse and a charge of domestic violence........

she needs a 3 point sling and an optic on that thing.

And maybe a mask to cover that sour mug

 

[Xaevian]

So, if she bought a firearm with the sole intention of giving it to someone else (the police dept.), does that constitute a straw purchase?

 

[easy-e]

A few articles are coming out saying that these purchases by reporters are technically straw purchases even if they are reselling them to another FFL or transferring them legally. It is funny that they are surprised that the system is so efficient for law abiding citizens.

On the other hand, she would have raised holy hell if her BGC would have come back denied, screamed racial profiling and because she is a woman that is why she was denied....

Just saying....

 

[Oldtrader3]

She transferred the AR to another individual with no background check! She committed a felony, ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[g.i. joe]

Photoshopped !!!!!!

Totally, the upper torso does NOT match that face, Her finger NOT on the trigger, notice anytime a gun hater holds a gun in public, they have their finger on the trigger. They learn firearms safety from Hollywood.

Michael Berry talked about this guy on his radio show this afternoon, saying that it backfired in the guy's face because he was going to show everyone how easy it was to buy a firearm. And instead, everyone across the country knows that he is a domestic abuser.....

Every once in a while, the universe sharts a sliver of justice at the very moment it's needed.

 

[I594 Sucks]

After her story...I nearly broke down in tears.

They destroyed a brand new M&P rifle!!!

 

[skeezix]

She has good trigger finger discipline. And I agree that it shouldn't take more than 7 minutes to buy any firearm that you legally can, if your not a felon. What is the problem?

 

[Weldor]

Good looking?? Only the firearm. Looks to me she has a cheek full of nuts (probably her husband's). You guys gotta remember that the Hoppe's only gets poured down the throat of your weapon, not yours. Causes bad choices in women.

 

[nwslopoke]

I never quite understand just what type of gun do "they" prefer people to be shot with. It's not like under their absolute best circumstances ARs or their idea of military weapons are gone criminals won't just choose any other gun. There are crusades and there's stupidity. If she really wanted to help take that $800 and buy some children some food. Stunts like this .....

 

[nwslopoke]

Also, wouldn't it be amazing if she ended up on some, no access list, because she bought a dangerous military style killing machine?

Or...she could have donated it to the victims of the Orlando shooting. Nah...that wouldn't be newsworthy.

Local newspaper reporter Helen Ubiñas said that she was horrified by her obscene experience this week in buying a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 ( S&W's version of the AR-15 rifle ) in only 7 minutes at a Philadelphia gun store. She was totally appalled at how easy it was for her to buy the gun, and how the instant background check process went through so very fast. Furthermore, the clerks at the gun store did not even question her for her motives in buying the rifle!!!

She was further disgusted by the fact that the gun store had the M&P 15 on sale, and it only cost her $759.99 to purchase! She said that just about anyone can afford to buy an AR-15! Don't you agree that is just totally revolting that AR-15 rifles are so affordable and easy to buy??

After leaving the gun store, Ubiñas then drove immediately to the Philadelphia police department's Sixth District on 11th and Winter streets, to surrender the rifle to have it destroyed. She complained bitterly that multiple police officers that she first spoke to were initially totally stumped by her request to have them destroy a brand new rifle that she had just purchased. But she eventually got them to give her the necessary paperwork to fill out, in order to surrender the rifle to them.

She was very upset that the process to turn in a gun to the police proved to be more complicated and took much more time than it took for her to buy the rifle!!

This reporter is really super angry and outraged about her experience in buying this rifle. Just look at this indignant expression on her face:
