Kevin Baker suggests that CNN committed no crime, as the gun was never transferred to Drew Griffin or transported out of Texas. That may be correct, but even if it isn’t, Griffin almost certainly did not know he was breaking the law. But, you say, “ignorance of the law is no excuse!” Actually, in this case, courtesy of the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act, it probably is. Kudos to Matt Rustler for the discovery.
