Fails. Because he is a drunk and a wife-beater
So this reporter tries to go to a gun store to show how easy it is to buy "assault rifles". He gets denied because he has a history of domestic abuse and alchoholism.
Then instead of owning up to it, the slug writes an article called "STEINBERG: Would-be terrorists can buy guns, but a reporter? No."
At 5:13 Sarah from Maxon called. They were canceling my sale and refunding my money. No gun for you. I called back. Why? “I don’t have to tell you,” she said. I knew that, but was curious. I wasn’t rejected by the government? No. So what is it? “I’m not at liberty,” she said.
Gun dealers do have the right to refuse sales to anyone, usually exercised for people who seem to be straw purchasers. I told her I assume they wouldn’t sell me a gun because I’m a reporter. She denied it. But hating the media is right behind hating the government as a pastime for many gun owners. They damn you for being ignorant then hide when you try to find out.
A few hours later, Maxon sent the newspaper a lengthy statement, the key part being: “it was uncovered that Mr. Steinberg has an admitted history of alcohol abuse, and a charge for domestic battery involving his wife.”

I’m pretty sure that, if the sale had been approved, the headline would have read something like “Local gun dealer sells gun to wife beater” It was probably the editor’s intent from the beginning – that’s why they chose Steinberg in the first place to make the purchase.
Chicago journalist can’t buy a gun : This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here
