FOX31 Hidden Camera Crew On ARMSLIST

When the news media really wants to uncover something they believe is important, they have little problem putting their noses to the grindstone. They will even do what is questionable or illegal to get their story – imagine that.

Such is the case with a news team from Denver, Colorado – KDVR FOX31. The particular team in question includes, Julie Hayden (hidden camera reporter), Peter Maroney (KDVR President), Josh Bernstein (reporter), and Chris Lupenski (producer).

These individuals have been trying to buy illegal gun and gun-related items in and around the Denver area. To that end, they have stooped to using fake IDs, in the hopes of luring law-abiding citizens into the trap of making illegal sales, while the hidden camera rolls.

According to one gentleman they attempted to scam through online site Armslist, the team presented themselves to him as people interested in buying standard capacity magazines or guns. There was no visible camera, fake IDs were used, and they tried to push the seller into selling items that are fully illegal for the buyers to own because of where they actually live. Had they been successful, I’m guessing they would not have mentioned they used fake IDs, etc. in their report.

Armslist leaves it up to users to ensure their sales and/or trades are completely within the confines of the law.
