Katie Couric's doc violated interstate firearms transfer laws?

I'm willing to bet money that charges aren't brought up either.
I think it's funny how they demonstrated that more laws don't magically stop criminals from breaking laws.

Here's the audio of the full response of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, that was edited and truncated in Couric's "apology" about the unethical way VCDL members were presented in the film:

How is it they can blatantly violate federal firearms law and nothing happen?

I am completely convinced there are human nature aspects of justice that single out those least likely to cause trouble for greatest scrutiny. I am proud to have run that gamut and still have a zero-blemish criminal record.

For instance, because I pay taxes my tax compliance is more heavily scrutinized than outright tax cheats. If I don't get health insurance I'll unwillingly pay the fines because I'll be forced to. Meanwhile, the IRS is not likely to set up audit offices under bridges.

Beating the same dead horse, the IRS's anti-conservative behavior is nothing new and I fear the same thing is at work in other branches of the federal government.

Katie Couric and her perky smile would be under the same gun law scrutiny as Randy Weaver was at Ruby Ridge if the game were fair.

None of the FFL's I know would bend a law for anyone, but if they did they would suffer a harsher fate than Ms. Couric, not that I wish her any grief. Make her wear a gun awareness orange jumpsuit for 90 days and report to a probation officer for the next ten years, something like that would be sufficient.

She's interested in seeing more behavior legislated into criminality, let her enjoy a little of that. It might make her a better informed journalist.

Only through an out of state FFL to the buyer face to face, and this involved a private transfer.

Okay so let me get this straight - IE I own one of my uncles old rifles (1898 Krag- Jorganson infantry musket) - his grandson (my cousin that is not prohibited from owning a gun) receives it as a gift - I live in TX he lives in WY from me - because me and my cousin are pretty close and I never use or even shoot the gun much (has sentimental value to me but probably alot more to my cousin) I have to go through an FFL to give this gun to him?

Just curious

My understanding -- NOT a legal opinion -- is that if you inherit the gun as part of an estate, you do not need an FFL to transfer them to an out of state heir. But, if you give or sell a gun to your cousin, or anyone else, who is an out of state resident, you DO need to go through an FFL... Unless you are deceased and bequeathed the gun to that person in your will.

https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/doc ... f/download
See question/answer #4 on page 4
Under Federal law, an unlicensed individual is prohibited from transferring a firearm to an
individual who does not reside in the State where the transferee resides. Generally, for a person
to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must
be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) within the recipient’s State of residence. He or
she may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a
NICS background check. More information can be obtained on the ATF website at http://www.atf.gov
and http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html. The GCA provides an exception
from this prohibition for temporary loans or rentals of firearms for lawful sporting purposes. For
example, a friend visiting you may borrow a firearm from you to go hunting. Another exception
is provided for transfers of firearms to nonresidents to carry out a lawful bequest or acquisition
by intestate succession. This exception would authorize the transfer of a firearm to a nonresident
who inherits a firearm under a will or by State law upon death of the owner. See 18 U.S.C. §
922(a)(5)(A).

Katie Couric did NOT produce a documentary - It was an anti-gun harangue.

Katie Curic: "So, let me ask you your opinion on this hypothetical question.... What if (insert hypothetical #1),.... wouldn't that be a good thing??"

Interviewee #1: "Um, no, because of (insert well articulated response).

Katie Curic: "So, let me ask you your opinion on THIS hypothetical question (..since I failed at 'Stump the Chump' on my first attempt..).... What if (slightly reworded hypothetical #1),.... wouldn't that be a good thing??"

Interviewee #2: "Actually, (insert well articulated response here; unfortunately what Katie hears is "Blah, blah, blah, not the sound bite I was looking for, blah, blah, blah")

Repeat above until preplanned questions / talking points exhausted; Edit to fit narrative.
