UPS Delivers Assault Rifle Instead of Toy for Christmas Gift

[billh58]

A New York couple was horrified when a UPS delivery that they thought was a Christmas present turned out to be an assault rifle.

Newsday reports that Joel Berman opened the keyboard-sized case in front of his wife and 6-year-old granddaughter Wednesday night in Oceanside, on Long Island.

Instead of a toy plane they were buying for their friend's son, they found a semi-automatic rifle, scope, stand, ammo clip and copies of an Arizona man's driver's license and concealed-weapons permit. They hustled their granddaughter out of the room and called police, who picked up the weapon.

Atlanta-based UPS says it's investigating the "highly unusual incident." The company says it accepts legal shipments of some firearms. It says shippers must meet certain requirements.

A "highly unusual" Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

1. Good thing it didn't go to a George Zimmerman, D Roof, a Klansman, or most Trump supporters.

2. An "assault rifle"

as a concealed carry weapon? Yep, gotta be a Trumpie with two teeth and a pick 'em up truck with a rifle rack.

3. Or a Trump supporter wearing a Klan robe.

Very fashionable in some states.

4. Most of the Trump supporters

have a Klan costume and at least two guns for every member of the family.

5. Underneath a Klan robe

is just about the only way to conceal that weapon!

6. Special kind of stupid right there...

concealed-weapons permit + assault rifle (usually) = dead idiot who never should have had access to either
