Super Weird DM Chat Request Message.

I got a chat request message today. It said “ I will pay 3-4x retail for a working firearm. “ 8 month old account, and the only activity I can see is a post in r/montreal, from yesterday, asking if anybody wants to go to a gun range with them. I’m a member of r/Montreal, and have posted replies to people there asking about gun ranges. So…. Is this some moron who thinks that licensed gun owners sell guns illegally, or some Fed bait?

$10 it’s the same reporter that drilled out the rivet in a magazine to make it 30 rounds from awhile back

I forgot about that guy. But so did the police, who didn’t arrest and charge him for modifying and possessing a prohibited magazine.

Meh, reporters should be allowed to break the laws in some ways. That's a basic tenet of freedom of press.

Or maybe, just maybe, if a reporter can break the law without anyone getting hurt.... it shouldn't be a fucking law to begin with.
