He was going to buy a gun in Illinois to show us all how easy it was to get one of these death instruments.

He discovered in short order (1) he needed a FOID card and (2) he needed to wait 24 hours.

When the store told him he could not buy a gun the next day he talked about how "they hate reporters"

Then someone dug and discovered a history of drunken domestic abuse which disqualified him.

Quote:"Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times decided last week to purchase an AR-15 following the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando, Florida. His purpose, he said, was to demonstrate how simple it was and to explore Illinois’ gun laws concerning assault weapons.

...

“I’m interested in one of the ARs,” he said, trying to project an air of manly ease to Rob, a clerk with a winged death’s head and a dagger tattooed on his right forearm.

“He immediately asked for my FOID (Firearm Owner’s Identification) Card -- no gun purchase without it,” Steinberg stated.

Then, “he showed me a Smith & Wesson M & P 15 Sport II, a lean black weapon, 6.5 pounds.”

...

When it came time to make the purchase, the clerk “handed me over to Mike, who gave his name while shaking my hand. I gave mine. 'The writer?' he asked.”

“'Yes,' I said, explaining that I planned to buy the gun, shoot at their range, then give it to the police. He suggested I sell it back to them instead, and I heartily agreed.”

Steinberg then “handed over my credit card: $842.50. Another $40 for the instructor to acquaint me with the gun the next day.”

...

However, “at 5:13, Sarah from Maxon called. They were canceling my sale and refunding my money. I … told her I assume they wouldn’t sell me a gun because I’m a reporter.”

“She denied it,” Steinberg stated. “But hating the media is right behind hating the government as a pastime for many gun owners.”

...

But according to an article by Blake Neff, a reporter with The Daily Caller website, Steinberg never contested the reason the gun store gave, namely “his history of alcohol abuse and domestic violence.”

Now THAT is funny.

It backfired on him. He probably didn't want anyone to know he had skeletons in his closet. Suits him right. LOL

So he's a liberal Chicago drunk who hates guns, beats up women, and failed his background check.

The universe has one hell of a sense of humor at times.

what an idiot....why am I not surprised....

he'll be looking for a job soon....what a shame....

Only in Chicago.

Maybe Obama should Just ban Chicago residences from having weapons then go after the Gang Members that will have guns. The OK Corral comes to mind . A new Marshal would be in town.

The media already know that they’re held in disgust by a large fraction of their audience that disagrees with their leftist bent. They frankly don’t care anymore, and this guy will go on as if nothing happened.....

Yup. Just like Katie Couric with her interview that was edited to make the gun rights group look bad and Gersh Kuntzman (BTW has anybody ever had a more appropriate name?) claiming that firing an AR15 injured him and gave him PTSD. The leftist activist media believes that distorting the truth and outright lying is perfectly acceptable in order to achieve the goal that they desire. They absolutely lack morals, ethics, and integrity.

On the contrary, the Libtards celebrate their chutzpah.
