Shit like this doesn't help the gun owners.
Far-right provocateur Ammon Bundy on Saturday posted a video to Facebook where he vowed to obtain an assault rifle after failing a federal background check to purchase a firearm.

“I call a buddy, he says, ‘Yeah, I got a guy who can get some lowers for an AR-15 or an AR-10’ and then I tell him that I was just denied and he’s like, ‘Oh, that guy can’t help you, you know.’ And basically what that does is it forces me to go on the street and find a gun.”

“And I will do that, I’ll find one. It will be a good weapon,” he said.

“I’ll get a gun, I’ll build a gun. I’ll go mine the ore if I have to — I don’t think I’ll have to go that far, but I’ll have a gun,” he vowed. “I’ll have many guns.”

“And I’ll defend myself against who? Against street criminals and government criminals,” he threatened.

“You should understand that disarmament of the American population is wicked,” he added.

Ammon Bundy is a criminal. He's also an idiot and a provocateur.

And he's exactly the kind of person whom background checks are designed to prevent from owning a firearm. He's now stated he's going to obtain one illegally. With his history, he's a felon who tried to steal Federal land. Had he been a POC he would have been shot dead by LEOs. He belongs in prison.

There's a 6x9 cell somewhere with his name on it. He's a fool.

Why the hell would he talk about it? Like, why not just do it and not tell anyone, especially not the entire internet? It's like the Polymer80 dudes who post it all over social media, you're gonna be pretty damn easy to find if they ever actually make people register all their firearms.

Well he got away with breaking the laws twice, so why not three times.

This should be a fairly easy sting and conviction. He knows he is a prohibited person and he broadcast his desire to purchase a firearm unlawfully. That said, locking him up is not likely to turn him from his path but will keep the rest of us safe from him.

The penal system has a series of contradictory purposes:
Rehabilitation
Retribution (more vindictive than punishment)
Separation from Society
Punishment
Deterrence

Bundy won't be rehab'ed so the rest is needed.

I'm pretty sure he's already committed a federal crime - he's engaging in a dialogue with a second party with intent to commit a felony. That's all you need.
