    I don't. All I have to go on is her statement that is was, and I have no reason to not believe her. Do you know it was operable? 
    Video evidence shows that it “most likely” was operable, counter to her claim.  I pointed out some of the features that led me to this conclusion earlier.  
    There is more evidence that it is operable than there is of it not.

    So her statement has not been proven true or false, see how that works?  In other words, your statement holds no merit of truth  and mine doesn’t either regarding her statement regarding what happened before the video.  Cannot be validated.  But, the video itself displays evidence that the gun was not inoperable before she cut the barrel down.  The charging handle, lower receiver and stock are all in place.

    "Virginia Beach Police confirmed Thursday afternoon the gun was in their possession and waiting to be picked up by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives."

    If there was anyone to validate your accusations, it appears they have already been involved and declined to press any charges.

    Why would they turn it over to the BATFE if there was no issue and the BATFE was not investigating?  Lol. This validates my accusation even further
    “VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) -- The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating congressional candidate Karen Mallard after she posted a video on Facebook that shows her cutting apart an AR-15 rifle”

    Sounds like standard operating procedure to dispose of a gun.

    Did you want her to put in the trash for next week's garbage day pick up?  Take it to the recycling center?  Ship it back to Colt's Manufacturing Company?

    “The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating congressional candidate Karen Mallard after she posted a video on Facebook that shows her cutting apart an AR-15 rifle.”

    I think that the law enforcement agency would just destroy it or auction it off if it wasn’t an illegal firearm...but instead, they thought the BATFE should look into it?l

    This article shows the proper procedure for destroying a firearm if anyone is interested and wants to avoid committing a felony:

    They probably have some obligation to investigate because a bunch of gun nuts reported her.  

    If the ATF didn't investigate, you'd have a bunch of gun nuts screaming about the deep state or some other dumb crap.

    I look forward the ATF's statement: "We've looked into the situation and closed our file, thank you for your concern."

    I look forward to her not being allowed to run for Congress because she has a felony on her record.  But you’re right, totally up to the ATF at this point.

    The difference seems to be who are we willing to believe and give a benefit of the doubt to. In this case, some think Mallard should get the benefit of the doubt. I don't know her and have nothing to base any trust on, whereas a Donald Trump and Kellyane Conway have been shown to lie about any little thing they can no matter how obvious the lie. Credibility matters and in this case I am neutral until I hear otherwise.

    I think it needs to be followed up on by someone in LE if it hasn't already happened so Mallard understands the confusion her video may create for those unfamiliar with gun laws.  
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The headline of the article was more clickbait I'm sure. When you read the whole article it says nothing about the investigation till the very end.

    Master Police Officer Tonya Pierce, spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department, confirmed that the rifle was in the department's possession. Pierce told 13News Now the ATF was looking into the situation.

    That's it.

    Funny thing is, I hadn’t even heard of her until the gun nutters nutted and went nuts.

    agree 100%. I, for one, have not claimed that she was guilty or innocent. the video warranted an investigation of sorts. if that has or will happen, then good.

    Auction it off? So keep it in circulation? Kind of defeats the purpose don't you think?

    I can see why people are so up in arms over this though... some Americans place the value of guns over the value of children. This mutilation of the AR15 was likely shocking to some.

    That is sad, but the reality is that cars operated by humans hit and kill many, many people every day. It is extremely likely that driverless cars will injure and kill fewer people, but it will never be zero.

    I agree. Driverless cars are WAAAAY safer than human operated ones. Nothing is ever 100%, but driverless sure gets us closer to it than dumb human drivers ever will. I hope we're ALL driverless in my lifetime... it will shrink accidents/traffic deaths to a tiny number, and it will also pretty much elimimate all traffic jams. I honestly could not care less about people "liking" the control they have as drivers, considering the benefits of getting the wheel out of all their hands.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
