Chicago Sun-Times reporter, columnist, and editorial board member, Neil Steinberg doesn’t like gun owners and he’s really crude. One time he wrote, “Guns are a kind of masturbatory aid of millions of Americans who imagine themselves supermen.”

Steinberg claimed that it’s super easy to buy a gun like the AR-15 and went to Maxon’s shooters in Des Plaines, Illinois.

The woke liberal reporter chose a Smith & Wesson Model M&P15 Sport which is an AR-15-styled semi-automatic weapon and a 30-round magazine.

However, when it was time to complete the sale the gun store refused to sell him the rifle.

According to the clerk, Steinberg yelled, “you sell to terrorists, you sell to insane people, but you won’t sell to a reporter?”

The clerk informed him that his background check revealed a “history of alcohol abuse and domestic violence.”

The charges were dismissed after Steinberg completed alcohol treatment and that was how he was able to obtain a Firearms card in Illinois.

Seeing that Steinberg had a history of alcohol and domestic violence the gun store decided not to sell the rifle to the reporter.

Yes, it appears that the gun shop owner is exercising additional diligence in his background checks. Proving that the people who typically do illegal things with guns often obtained them illegally, because the firearms industry in America is quite careful to try not to sell to criminals and nut jobs.

Possibly even more based than initially thought. It could be that he saw Steinberg and just used the record as an excuse. One can hope.
