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

Some reporter in Quebec awhile ago tried making a point of how easy it is to make a 5/30 round mag a full 30 rounder (a prohibited device) by removing the rivet that made it a 5 round capacity mag. As far as I’m aware he’s still not been charged with anything since creating a prohibited device and possessing it.

I kind of find it funny that so many us of have lots and lots of pinned mags, because of stupid laws say that rifle can hold 5 rounds. But we just said alrighty whatever make you happy and we follow it to hold our end of bargain being responsible firearm owner.

Then you have some idiots reporter says look how easy it is to modified a mag, thus breaking the law. Then rest of us be like, yeah, it's that easy, but we don't do that here bud because that's part of responsible part.

While he is at it, why not just leave guns around and not locked up and leave them loaded eh? Look, it's so easy to leave the guns unattended!

Might as well tell other to drive a car without seatbelt on or text while driving because that's a lot of hassle too!
