Correction: School-Shooting-Gun Shows story

January 7, 2013 @ 3:25 pm

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) - In some versions of a story Jan. 5 about gun shows, The Associated Press erroneously reported the groups that were calling the shows inappropriate after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Officials and sponsors, not organizers, questioned whether it was appropriate to hold the shows.

    In fact they were. By an 18yo female classmate who would have passed a background check given their was a requirement in place. She was prosecuted for falsely answering the first question on the Form 4473 because she bought them for someone who otherwise couldn't. In this case because of being under 18 for long guns. I love how the Brady Campaign likes to leave out those details to further their cause. The Connecticut shooter would have passed a background check too. He had no criminal record.

    "The shows are going on," he said. "Nobody's said to us that we can't have them."
