A stunning report from CBS last week revealed that it's legal in the United States to purchase an AR-15 rifle with money after passing a background check.
On the tail of this shocking revelation, the Washington Free Beacon dug further and discovered there are other things that can be purchased with legal tender in the United States, like a mechanical pencil at thousands of corner stores and bodegas across the country.
Watch as the Free Beacon goes undercover to reveal the shocking truth about buying stuff in America.
A pencil rights activist contacted for this story claimed that pencils—even professional-grade mechanical pencils with tactical grips and high-capacity chambers capable of spewing lead across the page—are protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.
