I guess background checks do work sometimes

here's the article from the writer: http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/steinberg-would-be-terrorists-can-buy-guns-but-a-reporter-no/

And he lied on that federal form
"A reporter in Philadelphia bought an assault rifle in seven minutes; 40 percent of gun transactions in the U.S. have no background checks. Here, I had paperwork. A federal form asking, was I an illegal alien? No. Was I a fugitive? Again no. Had I ever been convicted on charges of domestic abuse? No. Handed over my credit card: $842.50. Another $40 for the instructor to acquaint me with the gun the next day"

A few hours later, Maxon sent the newspaper a lengthy statement, the key part being: “it was uncovered that Mr. Steinberg has an admitted history of alcohol abuse, and a charge for domestic battery involving his wife.”

His response to his past is pathetic. Conjures up a fantasy about the gun industry.

Is there something in a press pass that allows them a free pass on committing crimes?   


These reporters need to be arrested, charged, and convicted. Including the other one that committed the straw purchase a few days ago.  They can do follow up stories on the legal system and prison conditions.
