Instead of the flat-panel TV he had bought to enjoy with his wife, who is pregnant, Horvitz opened the long packaging to discover a Sig Sauer SIG716, a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything. Its manufacturer, Swiss Arms AG, describes it as "the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger caliber carbine." Awesome.

Not surprisingly, Horvitz and his wife, Seeta, were shocked to find a gun instead of the television they thought they had ordered. They called the Metropolitan Police Department right away. David Cole, a friend of Horvitz's said that Seeta's reaction was "basically 'get that out of here now.' "
The District's gun laws might have slackened in recent years, but assault rifles are still verboten, as is transporting them into or through the District. That's why Horvitz had to call the police; it would have been illegal for him to pack it in his car and take it back to UPS for a return shipment. MPD officers confiscated the gun and are investigating why it wound up in a Northeast D.C. apartment building rather than the Pennsylvania gun shop it was intended to reach.

:facepalm


Should've said;

"gun ? what gun ? did you see any guns honey ? "
 
I knew tv was rotting people's brains.
 
Upgrade!!

LOL, this has to be a UPS error though. Amazon doesn't even sell firearms.
 
it is a TV. It only plays shoot-em-ups and the screen is only about 1" in diameter so you have to use one eye to view it

Combat rifle iron sights are ~1/4" so he's lost 59.75" in his TV. Definitely can see his reasons for cpmplaining even playing shoot them ups.

Besides a rifle is useless; a TV, infinitely more useful.

True. Tvs make great paperweights.

It absolutely is. Not sure why Amazon is even mentioned.

:laughing

That said, the day they ship quality rifles, I'm ordering. :teeth
 
I wonder what kind of laws you're breaking if you don't call the cops about such a mis-delivery
 
it was an Amazon purchase. a third party Amazon seller was selling TVs. but he didn't send bro a TV
 
so nobody asked the wife if she ordered it to rid her dumb ass husband for buying a cheap magnavox for her birthday..??
 
What an idiot...can you imagine how many TV's he could have bartered that for?
