Okay I know that an AR-15 is not an "assault weapon" and these peoples attitude in this story are "oooh it's an evil black gun, your lucky it didnt kill you just sitting in the box" but this is a funny article... By the way "Seth UPS delivered your TV when can we get together to swap items?" Thanks Syn
When D.C. resident Seth Horvitz ordered a flat-panel TV on Amazon, he didn’t expect to get a military-grade assault rifle in return.
Horvitz ordered the TV, a Westinghouse 39-inch LCD, for about $320 from a third-party electronics seller on Amazon.
On Tuesday evening, a large, oblong box arrived at his doorstep via UPS Ground.
“When I saw some metal parts inside the box, I thought, ‘Maybe this is a TV stand or mount or something,’” Horvitz said in a phone interview with Wired.
“When I realized it was an assault rifle, it was pure shock and disbelief.”
