Washington D.C. resident Seth Horvitz ordered a flat-panel TV on Amazon. What he received was an assault rifle.

Horvitz ordered a Westinghouse 39-inch LCD, for about $320 from a third-party electronics seller on Amazon. A few days later a large, oblong box arrived at his doorstep via UPS Ground.

Horvitz thought it might be a stand to mount the TV but when he opened the box, he realized it was an assault rifle.

He immediately contacted the D.C. police who came and confiscated the Sig Sauer 716 patrol rifle. The police informed Horvitz that the gun was illegal in the District of Columbia.
