VoteVets and their usual BS
Someone sent us this video on Facebook from those lying little turds at VoteVets. In the video, Glen Kunkel says that he had to pass a background check to get into the Marine Corps, but that anyone can buy an M4-style weapon with “no questions asked”.
Yeah, well, I bought mine at a gunshow last Spring and I had to fill out the same forms that I would have to fill out at a gun store. I had to answer the same questions that everyone else in this country has to answer, so I don’t know what the Hell Glen is talking about.
I guess VoteVets is now the IVAW for MoveOn, the Left just needs veterans who wear the t-shirts for their idiot causes. By the way, the scary bleeding target and the Sandy Hook imagery is just macabre. It didn’t make me want to press anyone for universal background checks – it made me want to punch Jon Soltz in the throat. Shame on you, Glen Kunkel, for selling your soul for this outrageous and blatant lie.

“If our troops need a background check so should criminals”
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Well, if he bought his weapon from Shorty at 1:00 a.m. behind the 7-11, of course there was no background check. Based on what he said, some LE agency ought to be asking him a few questions.
Here’s another possibility: He poised as a Mexican drug runner and bought the weapon directly from the DOJ. HE didn’t have a background check but the strawman purchaser did.
It’s a very ambiguous statement he’s making. It’s sounds really reasonable and he’s making it sound like none are required right now, which is a lie. This is for the low information citizen.
How about if he stand there and declare “I had to have a valid picture ID to join the military; why can’t we require one when voting”?
Losers.
This tool bag also has an audio version running on Indy radio stations. It’s just as ridiculous audio wise as it is video wise.
Bunch of to talent ass clown Michael Bolton wannabes.
Well, if he was buying out of the back of a van, that should of been his first clue that *maybe* not everything was on the up and up. That’s the only place I know of that you can get one without a background check. Maybe I’m just unaware?
Thank goodness I listen to a radio station out of Colombus instead of Indy.
@4 There you go again trying to be all logical and sh1t….
Truth deficient little scumbag. And to make things worse, he’s an ex-Marine.
@9: Sorry I blew up, VOV 🙂
@7 – private firearms sales are perfectly legal and don’t require a background check, except now in Colorado, even though there’s no way to enforce it.
The seller and buyer are responsible for making sure they aren’t selling to a felon or someone else who isn’t allowed to own a firearm.
http://www.armslist.com/ is the most popular marketplace for private sales.
For those of us in Colorado who don’t want to mess with the new bans, we can just drive up to Cheyenne for everything except handguns.
What a doofus.
Seriously, Vote “Vets”… focus on shit that’s more urgent for vets/AD…like the VA backlog, loss of tuition assistance, etc.
Yeah, anyone who’s been on recruiting knows there is a cursory background check. If there are some issues, they can be addressed and the applicant may require a waiver. It has nothing to do with authorization to carry a firearm though, but Glen Knucklehead wouldn’t know that because he assumes everything he hears is true.
There are, however, some Lautenberg restrictions involved, but not likely enough to keep someone from enlisting in the service. If someone is convicted of commission of a crime (particularly domestic violence) then that changes things. But those of us here at TAH can pretty much figure out how that will turn out.
Knucklehead here is just another uninformed puke, spreading more mis-information and inaccuracies to people just like him.
@14: My best friend’s little brother was a Marine Recruiter for a while and I loved one of his phrases from those days: “Anything can be forgiven as long as it’s explained properly.”
That dumbass. The requirement to get a permit to purchase a pistol or assault style rifle is probably harder then enlisting in the military.
@15 – Yeup, you’re right. That’s a term commonly used. Some applicants would be Tier III (lots of issues, i.e. low ASVAB scores, criminal background, extensive drug “experimentation”, etc.) that could require a waiver, but they were usually put in by recruiters who were struggling.
@17–or you could see the floor at MEPS from, say, the 27th through the end of the month and just KNOW these kids were going to be your “10 percenters.”
[…] there was the VoteVets video in which they proclaim that no one has to do a background check for an AR15 rifle. I suspect that […]
@18: There were a few kids I referred to as “ASVAB waivers.”
