We ordered the same gun used in Uvalde. Here’s how easy it was

After Tuesday’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas left 19 children and two adults dead, we wondered how difficult it was to order a DDM4V7, one of the two rifles the gunman bought a few days after turning 18 years old, according to reports.

The answer: Five clicks.

The AR-15-style weapon, made by Georgia-based Daniel Defense, sells online for $1,870, plus tax. Shipping to a local gun shop is free.

This article is a crock of shit. The author lists the steps, the very same steps it takes to order anything else, to order an AR from the internet. He even acknowledges that, but he does mention that while DD doesn't mention a word about having to pass a background check, the gun shop he chose to have it delivered to does state that he'd have to fill out a Form 4473 and pass the background check.

He does say that ordering a gun doesn't feel much different than ordering anything else off the internet.

Okay, but for me to order a drive belt for my lawn mower I don't have to ship it to a licensed Cub Cadet dealer, nor do I have to pay for a background check that I may or may not pass depending on how fucked up or busy NICS is that day, nor do I have to pay a transfer fee for that belt. I also wouldn't have to wait for 10 days to pick it up like you do for guns in some States.

So it's just not that easy, is it?
