Two days after the Pulse nightclub shooting a journalist with the Huffington Post bought a similar gun to the one used by the shooter Omar Mateen.
The reporter wanted to prove how easy and fast it is to get a gun. In the report he even says it would have taken only 5 minutes to get the AR-15, but background checks were taking longer than usual.
In total the gun cost $644 and the reporter later tried to return the gun, but the store would not provide a refund so the gun was turned over to the Orlando Police Department where they said they would have the gun destroyed.
