So the wife and I just finished watching a television series on Netflix, called Ozark.
In episode 9 I believe, the (13 year old)son of the protagonist sends his friend who's of age to purchase a firearm on his behalf. Now, this friend is a bit slow, perhaps borderline mentally handicapped.
This friend walks into the LGS, with a piece of paper in hand. He hands this to the dealer over the counter, in which the dealer asks if he wants to see it first, or just be on his way with it. The friend replies that he'll be on his way. Clearly, the paper had the make and model written on it.
So of course, a 4473 is needed. The friend fills it out, and hands it back. The dealer looks it over, and notices that he answered yes to a question regarding straw purchases. The dealer then tells the friend that it must've been a mistake and basically says that he should change it.
And to top it off, the dealer asks if he'd like a "High-capacity magazine" with it.
And of course, he says yes.
Then finally, the young kid gets it, loads it, and pulls the trigger. And voila, a Mini-14 with an ATI "tactical polymer stock" is all of a sudden, a machine gun. Just about dumps the mag with a single squeeze.
So it's quite clear that the production of this episode purposely implied that mentally handicapped people can buy machine guns and the dealer will knowingly break the law just to make a few bucks.
Kinda made me sick to watch. The agenda was pretty obvious.
