ANTI GUN PROPAGANDA on Tik Tok - WHY MUST THE LEFT LIE???

Published on May 28, 2020
Duration: 8:02

This video critiques a TikTok video by Elijah Daniel, which falsely claimed firearms can be purchased in under an hour in California. Reno May, acting as a firearms instructor and analyst, debunks this by detailing the extensive legal requirements for firearm purchases in California, including background checks, proof of residency, safe handling demonstrations, Firearm Safety Certificates, and mandatory 10-day waiting periods. May also exposes that the 'firearm' purchased in the TikTok was likely an airsoft gun, as Big Five Sporting Goods does not sell handguns.
