Man Orders TV from Amazon, Gets High Powered Assault Rifle Instead

All Seth Horvitz wanted was a Westinghouse 39-inch LED television. Instead, he got a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle.

The Washington resident, who had ordered the television through a third-party vendor on Amazon.com, first realized that something wasn't quite right when a long, narrow box showed up at his apartment Tuesday, DCist reported.

"When I brought it in and opened it, I was totally shocked," Horvitz told DCist.

The package contained a Sig Sauer SIG716, a Swiss-made 7.6 pound, 37-inch-long assault rifle.

Suh-weet.

No, not really.  That's messed up.

Wonder what I'd get if I ordered a 52 incher?

It would interesting to follow the trail back on this rifle and see how it somehow got misdirected to a retailer that is linked to Amazon. :yahoo: I am sure the ATF will investigate, if they aren't too busy shipping gun's Mexico that is.
