Here is a story from CNS News, that I have adapted into a fake story. The following block quote is the fake story.
(FNN) — Joe’s Gun Shop is being criticized after one of its employees was recorded encouraging a student - who was posing as a minor - to lie about his age and to obtain false identification papers and cards in order to purchase a handgun on apparently legal terms.
John Doe, a 21-year old senior at State University, visited the gun shop, posing as a 17-year old seeking to acquire a pistol. The visit was part of an investigation on the part of the State University chapter of Handgun Control, Inc., a nationally recognized gun control group formed by Sarah Brady.
State and Federal law requires that handguns cannot be sold to anyone under the age of 21.
In a covertly-filmed video betwen Mr. Doe and the unnamed employee of Joe’s Gun Shop, the staffer is heard to tell Doe: “If you’re 17, we can’t sell this piece to you. If you’re not, if you’re really 21, then I could.”
“Okay, but if I just say I’m 21, then it’s different?” Doe asks.
“You could say 21,” the staffer replies, later adding, “But you’ll have to show proof. I can call some people that can help you with that kind of thing. And I don’t know anything.”
Other parts of the video shows similar machinations on the part of employees and owners of other gun shops in the city.
One man relates that having himself defended himself against an armed robber when he was 17, 16 years ago, with a handgun he legally was not supposed to possess, the decision saved his life and his future educational and career ambitions. “If I had to do it again, I would get my hands on a gun any way I could,” said the man.
Doe told FNN that he wants to hold gun dealers accountable for how they handle potential illegal sales to minors, and that “handguns aren’t sold like blenders at Sears.”
“The public’s eyes need to be opened to the fact that they’re not really to be trusted in the way they handle minors who want to buy guns, or even in the way they counsel in a pro-gun way,” said Doe.
Joe Smith, Owner of Joe’s Gun Shop, criticized Mr. Doe’s tactics, but told FNN that his staff has been notified of store policy and Federal and State laws about selling to minors.
“We believe the individuals behind this are doing this not out of a motivation to protect teenagers, but in fact to smear Second Amendment rights,” Mr. Smith said of Mr. Doe and his production assistants. “They went in with an objective to manipulate our staff, and they succeeded.”
Now, if this kind of sting happened in reality, Joe Smith wouldn’t be available to give an interview to the media, and whine about how his employees were entrapped. The BATF would have raided his gun shop, carted him and his employees off to jail, where they would sit forever without bond, and the gun shop would be boarded up.
Meanwhile, the media, far from giving sympathy to Mr. Smith and his “entrapment” contention, would be bloviating about a dangerous, conspiratorial gun merchant being removed from society, and how his actions (and presumably, we’re made to think, the actions of them all), are solely responsible for violent crime in urban centers.
