Why Is This AR-15 Being Called the ‘Most Terrifying Thing on the Internet’?

Among the many subcultures on the community forum website Reddit is a lesser known “gunsforsale” subreddit where some firearms are being sold.

And there’s something on there that’s being called “the most terrifying thing on the internet.”

So what is it? Well, among the latest of the weapons to show up on the site is an AR-15 engraved with Reddit’s very own alien icon. It was posted by the Redditor x—x–x-x four days ago for $1,150. For an extra $50 the seller said he would include 200 rounds and a magazine loader with the rifle, case and magazines.

Here’s more from the seller’s description about the gun:

The deets: *Custom engraved Reddit lower purchased in initial Reddit lower buy. *PSA lower parts kit *PSA bolt carrier group *BCM 14.5″ mid upper w/ pinned flash hider *Troy battlesight affixed to rear *OD Green Magpul MOE furniture *3 OD Green windowed PMAGs *Blackhawk! soft case

I’ve only put a couple hundred rounds through it since building it in, I think, August of 2011. I love it, it’s a great-looking, soft-shooting gun, but I never get to shoot the thing so it’s just oiled up sitting in my safe and I’m looking to get a nice shotgun (Citori 725 field) since I shoot that every Sunday at the trap club and I love upland game hunting.

The seller stated that he was hoping to sell it to a fellow Redditor. x—x–x-x received “heavy interest” for the Reddit-themed firearm that he decided he would only sell it to people with whom he could meet face-to-face if there was an offer by Tuesday.

There was.

The seller explained in a further update that he had tentatively accepted an offer from someone who would be able to complete the transaction in person, but if it fell through he said he would work with ”one of two out-of-state purchasers using an [federal firearms license] transfer.”

This is where we get to the part where the rifle is referred to as “the most terrifying thing on the Internet,” by Gawker.

“Users of the internet culture behemoth Reddit are not famous for their level-headedness or discretion,” Gawker’s Adrian Chen explains.

“So it was a bit discomfiting to spot this AR15 assault rifle—the same kind of gun used by Newtown shooter Adam Lanza—with a cute little Reddit alien logo engraved into it for sale on the site,” he adds.

Redditors, as the gossip site notes, are relatively Libertarian, at least when it comes to the First Amendment. As for its pro-Second Amendment leanings, the site has more than 100,000 followers on the /r/guns subreddit, more than 8,000 for /r/firearms, and /r/progun has more than 6,000.

Even with these firearm-supporting subreddits, there are others who have called for administrators to take a stand against sale of guns on the site.

In a thread nearly a month ago, one Redditor said eight “assault rifles” were sold through the website.

“It is time for reddit to ask itself whether it is morally justifiable for it to continue to allow the sale of guns,” the Redditor Gabour wrote.

Although I’m trying not to resort to hyperbole here, I think it fair to say that reddit has some blood on its hands for endorsing these transactions [emphasis added],” the post continued.

“And that is something that needs to be addressed. Although it may be questionable to some whether Reddit has a moral obligation to stop the proliferation of guns in the United States, there should be no doubt that it should not be directly participating in it.”

Many websites where individuals act as sellers and buyers, like Craigslist and eBay, have banned the sale of firearms due to strict regulations regarding their sale.

If the seller of the alien-engraved rifle is unlicensed (we aren’t told either way), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives states that if both people are unlicensed individuals within the same state, the firearm can be sold provided the seller ”does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law.”

Here’s more from the AFT regarding private sales:

When a transaction takes place between private (unlicensed) persons who reside in the same State, the Gun Control Act (GCA) does not require any record keeping. A private person may sell a firearm to another private individual in his or her State of residence and, similarly, a private individual may buy a firearm from another private person who resides in the same State. It is not necessary under Federal law for a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) to assist in the sale or transfer when the buyer and seller are “same-State” residents. Of course, the transferor/seller may not knowingly transfer a firearm to someone who falls within any of the categories of prohibited persons contained in the GCA. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g) and (n). However, as stated above, there are no GCA-required records to be completed by either party to the transfer.

ATF states that if the sale is between two people who reside in different states, then the firearm is shipped to a FFL in the state of the buyer.

Based on this Redditor’s post, it appears as if he were following the law regarding his transaction.

      RESTORE,
      I like the use of the word ‘proliferation’.

      It proves that not only do the Lefty’s like to make stuff up out of whole cloth to prove their points, they don’t understand the meanings of the words they use while doing so. As to the word ‘PROLIFERATION’, Misters Merriam and Webster say this,
      .
      .
      1: to grow by rapid production of new parts, cells, buds, or offspring
      2: to increase in number as if by proliferating : multiply

      transitive verb
      1: to cause to grow by proliferating
      2: to cause to increase in number or extent as if by proliferating
      .
      .
      I’m not sure how ONE gun moving from Point A to Point B is a ‘proliferative’ scenario.

      Anybody else got a clue? Beuller? Beuller? Beuuuuuller?

      “Why Is This AR-15 Being Called the ‘Most Terrifying Thing on the Internet’?”

      Okay … read the article … so when do we get to this “terrifying thing”? Oh, you must mean this:

      “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” -Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, Paris, 13 Nov. 1787
      http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/tree-liberty-quotation

      “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. … But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
      -The Declaration Of Independence

      Now THAT’S terrifying … to tyrants.

      actually it would be total BS either way. If someone is hurt after the sale it would be the purchasers fault, before it would be the sellers problem. If before there would likely be no sale as the firearm (basically a 22) would have been confiscated. The gun didn’t kill or injure anybody either way. It is only a tool.

      All the kits have gone out of sight at the moment. I like the folding stock kits but haven’t seen anything reasonable. (around $599 for an m92 kit w/barrel) The only thing that worries me is getting a proper heat treat on the receiver. If you don’t mind a receiver being tied to your name nodak supposedly makes some of the best. If government stooges ever come for it say you “sold it” before you were required to register it.

      That’s ridiculous. Any al-Qaeda member, any felon, any pervert, any psychotic murderer can easily buy an AR-15 if they have the cash. Just offer some cash to someone who either has one or in the parking lot of a gun show. Or even in the gun show if the seller is a private seller. Or even from a licensed seller, if he view the laws as guidelines rather than hard and fast rules (as many sting videos have shown).

      But you know, letting the crazies and perverts and known murders and terrorists having an easy way to buy guns is the price of FREEDOM. And, ass the advertisements say, “Coming soon to a theater near you!”

      I have been to many many gun shows over the years and I have not met anyone in a parking lot to buy a gun, I have no friends that bought a gun this way and I have never met a gun dealer that sells guns like this…….I have worked in the club business for many years and I know that there are drug dealers in the club “Up in the VIP” along with famous people and liberals of all types…….Drug dealers and liberals go hand in hand, because the reality is that a liberal would never get any(bootie) if he did not immerse himself in the drug life style(lawyers etc.)……Liberals only sell drugs so they can get close to hot women and that is about the way it has been for millions and billions of years….liberals always do the same things over and over and over, year in and year out….and it all revolves around the Pam Anderson or similar looking women…..That is why I say that Beyonce can change her song to ” All the single mommas” instead of “SIngle Ladies”…….It is a broken record with all liberals and they all know who they are…….

      Now why is it that we guard our money with guns, guard our politicians with guns, guard our stupid movie stars with guns, but our children are not worth guarding…Liberals are a broken record….They never change!!

      Have you ever BEEN to a gun show Sendthemeteors, or are you just quoting some unknown and unknowing liberal mouthpiece? FFL holders do NOT look at the laws as “guidelines”. The BATFE takes great pleasure in ruining the lives of licensed dealers on a routine basis. Look up what they have done to the Reese family in New Mexico. They’ve seized all of their assets (including their home, inventory, bank accounts, and even Mrs Reese’s jewelry) while the family set in jail awaiting trial for almost a year. Now, despite most of the charges resulting in acquittals, the feds are seeking to KEEP the assets through civil forfeiture, a procedure that requires the owners to prove that they should get their stuff back. Basically they are considered guilty until proven innocent. Of course they have no money to hire attorneys since the government confiscated everything.

      SendTheMeteors, you obvoiusly have never been to a gun show. The shows are now teaming with DEA. ATF and local law enforcement. Any private seller is approached several times by law enforcement undercover officers to work a “deal” and entrap a unsuspecting seller. Anyone with a half a brain would not even think of selling a gun without paying a dealer the fee for a background check nor purchase from a stranger without a serial number check. In addition the dealers are so on edge if you even look a little off in any way the will not sell to you. Why risk your business and jail time over an illegal transaction. The gun show loophole is one of the biggest lie going out there. I’m sure all the “video” you have seen has been real reporting. You silly silly person you.

      “Coming soon to a theater near you!” -SME

      Only a massacre of the liberals made it a gun free zone.

      In the military they teach you to become a hard target as opposed to a soft target. Someone who intends ill usually attacks soft targets instead of hard targets. they have a greater chance of enacting their crimes. The military teaches that a person should be a hard target in uniform or off duty.

      What do liberals do. They preach nay they screech for gun free zones. They are telling terrorists and criminals which areas are “for sure” soft targets.

      The Aurora theater which James Holmes shot up was a gun free zone. That is why he chose it over others. It was a known soft target.

      You can see this phenomena in other places and times regarding criminal activity. Criminals have ceased targeting banks as much in Philadelphia because they have become harder targets. So many criminals have moved onto softer targets.

      “Philadelphia’s Burqa Crisis”

      “But as banks become harder targets, Islamic garb presents a more general danger to soft targets.”

      http://frontpagemag.com/2013/daniel-pipes/philadelphias-burqa-crisis/

      So what happens if all potential targets are hard targets. Some people give up the criminal lifestyle. More criminals get caught and there are fewer criminals around to commit crime.

      Much to hard for “Send the Meteors” to understand.

      The trollish one wants to ban guns. She wants you to forget:

      - that James Holmes was on powerful prescription medications
      - that Holmes made bombs that were every bit as dangerous as his firearms or more so
      - that Holmes with his near perfect GPA 3.949 could have used pathogens to kills thousands of people. He did intern at Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He could have created a pathogen & released on an unsuspecting public.
      -That Holmes was agnostic. Yes, lets kill belief and replace with … well… nothing! Wait let’s give Marx yet another chance. Yes they did have Sunday services in the good ole Soviet Union featuring the little red book. Maybe if the Soviet Union had survived & Holmes had been indoctrinated properly by the left, none of this would have happened.

    Whats up with all of the reddit stories on here? I used to be a member, but all of the moronic talking points and stories were too ridiculous to read. I think their site is flooded with clueless teens and college students. If you haven’t been on there, just check out the headlines on their homepage. It’s a joke. Most of the posters on there use mediamatters and other no-name sites for their news sources.

    i went to the Taxpayer Unemployment Office the other day to “print” an application for a brand new pistol range that just opened up down the road.

    I was DENIED “to print” the application because it had the word “gun” in it……TRUE STORY!

      The AR15 is a .223 round…..it is not much bigger of a round than a .22……But that is low level math and I would not expect a low info voter to understand that.

      Also the Virginia Tech massacre happened to kill 32 people with small caliber hand guns.
      Drugs are already illegal but they are still out there and liberals make millions and millions off them every single year. Its called responsibility and to many stupid liberals in this country have lost all responsibility, so now we have our situation today.

      Harry Reid still controls the senate, and let’s not forget the SCOTUS said Obama Care is Constitutional.
      oh and let’s not forget, the last 4 words of the 2nd amendment have had NO meaning for decades, both from the so called right and the left. What is few in this Country is Liberty Loving Americans

      You people that like to blame video games are just as bad as the liberals that want to blame guns. I support the NRA’s effort to protect the 2nd amendment 100% but when they turn around and blame video games it leaves me scratching my heads. Everyone wants to throw blame around except where it belongs. The only ones to blame are the evil people that commit these horrible acts. I am sick of seeing my fellow gun rights advicates defend the 2nd amendment by attacking the first. I for one believe and the WHOLE constitution.

      Blaming video games is fine, calling for their banning is not, they are protected by the first amendment. Blaming guns is fine, that is protected speech. Banning any guns is unconstitutional, EVEN IF THEY DO CAUSE MASS SHOOTINGS ! (they do not). Because the second amendment guarantees this right.

The dream pulled back to a larger field and it was obvious why he was running, and so afraid, there were home made drones coming from all directions bearing down on the POS. Live by the drone, die by the drone…..What a nice dream, I woke up feeling sooooo good….

      I don’t know all of them, but, Libya and the horn of Africa are two that I know for sure have troops present (how many countries in the Horn, I’ve got no clue), suspect involvement in Mali, Tunisia, Liberia. Other than that I can’t say if there are any other suspected combat zones that the US has been deployed to.

    Where does Adrien Chen get off thinking that these sales shouldn’t happen? He uses typical left wing scare talk by saying Reddit has “blood on their hands”. He makes this statement but doesn’t HAVE ANY FACTS TO BACK IT UP. He seeks to demonize law abiding citizens and never says anything about criminals.He is entitled to his OPINION but as I taught both my sons,”opinions are like @rseh0les,everyone has one and most of them stink.”

      I think he’s just looking for things to discredit reddit because it stole all gawkers viewers.

      /r/politics has all the liberal trash that gawker could possibly muster and more.

      Lifehacker could just as easily be replaced by dozens of various subreddits, including a /r/lifeprotips

      Gawker takes most of it’s content from other blogs and it’s viewers and reddit basically does the same thing with less editorial oversight (as it’s run by users in chunks called subreddits), which is something they can’t keep up with.
