Did You Know That You Can Buy 'Bullets' With No Training?

I can also buy a deluxe box of steak knives in preparation for a nice night of filet mignon and red wine (yes, I'm going to use a knife while I partake in an adult beverage) without signing up for an online course, also.

NEWS FLASH! You CAN buy "bullets" with no identification and no background checks! OH MY GOD!

"While perfectly legal, our team of investigators discovered that anyone can buy as much of this stuff as they want to and no one will ever ask for identification."

More media lunacy, this time from the "crack" team of investigators at Florida's WPTV NewsChannel 5.

"This means anyone, even a team of Contact Five Investigators, with no training, and no license to carry a gun can buy bullets—lots of them."

Note: I thought it was a "spoof" site at first . . . some bizarre satire. But no, it's real. To borrow a phrase from CNN and radio personality Glenn Beck, you will definitely need to wrap some duct tape around your head to keep your brain from exploding when you read this one.

BTW, a note to Shannon Cake, and the other reporters and editors of the "crack" news staff in West Palm Beach -- get your nomenclature right. Who cares how many bullets someone can buy. Bullets are itty bitty paperweights. Cartridges on the other hand are what you meant to talk about. But they are harmless, also. Unless a CRIMINAL uses them in an ILLEGAL manner. Geez . . . does NO ONE go to journalism school anymore?

End of rant.
