Why can't this happen to me?

Amazon always gets my orders right. Bastards.

When D.C. resident Seth Horvitz ordered a flat-panel TV on Amazon, he didn’t expect to get a military-grade assault rifle in return.

Horvitz ordered the TV, a Westinghouse 39-inch LCD, for about $320 from a third-party electronics seller on Amazon.

On Tuesday evening, a large, oblong box arrived at his doorstep via UPS Ground.

“When I saw some metal parts inside the box, I thought, ‘Maybe this is a TV stand or mount or something,’” Horvitz said in a phone interview with Wired.

“When I realized it was an assault rifle, it was pure shock and disbelief.”

Not being one to want a personal “shock and awe” arsenal of his own, Horvitz contacted the D.C. police. They immediately confiscated the box, which contained a semi-automatic Sig Sauer 716 patrol rifle. The police informed Horvitz that the gun was illegal in the District of Columbia.

To keep the flies off the bride

Dumbass. Should have sold the piece on the street for a couple grand and got himself an even bigger TV....

..,. or better yet, fug the TV. That rifle is a lot more entertaining than anything on TV, especially if you take it to a theater for a late show....

Gaston Counties population has doubled over the last 20 years with transplants from the north. It's really not as bad as it used to be. Schools are way better than CMS where they build a new school and then close it due to budget cuts.

Northerners moving in does not make things better.
