    WASHINGTON MUSICIAN who ordered a flat-screen TV from Amazon.com was shocked to receive a semi-automatic assault rifle instead.

    Semi-auto and assault are mutually exclusive.
    So if it was possible, if you thought you could get away with it - would you keep the weapon or return it?

    Certainly not in this case. When the firearms dealer received his TV, I'll wager they'll start checking the delivery records for UPS.

    Besides, I already have a SIG 556.

    It's my go-to rifle for the zombie apocalypse, I think. Work of art, and a beautiful trigger.

    No way, you'll be called up to active duty when the zombie apocalypse starts. So you'll be stuck with the M4.
    :p

    I lolled.

    I just realised this guy was in the US. Non-story.

    Wait a second, Amazon don't sell guns, they sell gun accessories and things that go pfffft instead of bang. But no real guns.

    Sure it wasn't an airsoft gun?

    ?

    I know new manufactured civilian weapons can't have a full auto setting dating back to the 80s... but they still have names like the AR-15...

    AR does NOT stand for Assault Rifle, as is commonly believed. AR stands for the original company that manufactured it, ArmaLite. ArmaLite sold their rights to the AR-10 and AR-15 designs in 1959 to Colt.
