Very stupid. For example on CSI LV, they had an episode
where a woman was raped and beaten but survived. She wanted
a gun. She went to a pawn shop in Las Vegas but since the
writer is from California, the writer didn't let her get a
gun. The character died after being kidnapped outside the
pawn shop.

For Hollywood and NYC writers, in 90% of the USA, there are
no waiting periods on a gun purchase and when threats are
involved the waiting periods can be waived. Las Vegas and
all of Nevada, just the instant telephone records check,
maybe 15 minutes. Same in Kansas, same in Oklahoma, same in
Colorado, same in Idaho.

The law can be checked, in case there are more stupid and
ignorant writers at the NRA.org site or if that is too
political for you, even Findlaw.com

For a few thousand dollars I'd be happy to be a tech advisor
on aircraft, firearms, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. For all
the vampyr slayers out there, the best Mr. Pointy wood of
choice is Ash.
