'Literally terrifying': Apparently some gun nut at Amazon is stuffing ammo into customers' packages

Usually, we’d be doing a post on something dumb that David Hogg said; wait, we can still do that.

You shouldn’t be able to by a gun, gun parts or ammunition over the internet.

But what really caught people’s attention was this frenzied reply:

I mistakenly received rifle cartridges (that I did not/never would order) in my Amazon Prime shipping box last night. It was literally terrifying and I'm now involuntarily tasked with their safe disposal.

We’re sorry that was literally terrifying, but we’re even more curious how rifle cartridges got into an Amazon package, seeing as Amazon doesn’t sell ammo. Some gun nut working in the warehouse must have dropped those in there. Or maybe the guy’s just trolling Hogg, in which case he’s doing a fine job. In any case, the replies are great.

Amazon doesn't ship ammo. Nice self-own

To your credit you called them cartridges which is correct, so it was only the one rake you stepped on

I mean, with respect and all. Not to put too fine a point on it you're lying

Alex, I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for $1000, please. And let's make it a true daily double.

Same thing happened to me! I ordered some cotton balls. I opened the box and there was a 9mm with a box of bullets. The gun was loaded and the safety was off I picked it up and the gun went off, shooting a hole in my wall. I'm now suing Amazon for shooting a hole in my wall!

I ordered a fish tank and Amazon sent me this Army Tank. Now I am beside my self in fear……That they will figure it out and ask me to send it back. By the way my goldfish really loves it. pic.twitter.com/gDmMLVJTBD

Wow…you're absolutely correct. I ordered a 16" box fan on Amazon last night. Imagine my surprise when I mistakenly received a CH-53E Super Stallion. pic.twitter.com/p9pdJHhd9n

Dude, same…. I ordered 32 metric tons of glitter from them and instead, an Amazon warplane napalmed my house.

I literally wish amazon sold ammo

Send them to me. I can always use more.

Just throw 'em in the fireplace and be done.

call your local police department, I am sure they would send an officer to your house to take the ammo and safely dispose of it. But be sure to say you are "terrified" or they may ask you to bring the ammo to the station.

That’s a cute story.

Would like to hear @amazon on this

— @nbtweencnt (@bennnettwc) May 30, 2019

Yes, please Amazon — take care of this problem before another customer is terrified.

LMAO..hey @amazon there are some 500 truly deranged gun sycophants, apparently also lacking jobs on a Wednesday afternoon (and who like to copy each other's unoriginal joke). They are super jeal that they didn't receive this in their Amazon shipment. In fact, they are..(1/5) https://t.co/wQWA0jO6uV pic.twitter.com/8gbfO0e4YO

..convinced that you don't even sell them, and while most appear to be unbalanced and obsessed with someone who would rather not deal with a conduit of savagery, I hope they are correct; regardless, this trash was placed in my shipment unsolicited and I'm not thrilled..(2/5)

— This is not normal (@yorkiedad1984) May 30, 2019

..while I understand that it was likely a simple mistake, if you do not sell them, then what are they doing at your distribution center? My hope is that what the Twitter unwell say is true, because it would be shameful to learn that you're profiting off an epidemic..(3/5)

..of senseless murder in the United States. I know zilch about guns, and proud of that, so I wasn't comfortable with taking them into my house, tasking me unwarranted to research how to safely dispose. On the bright side, it awards me great pleasure to inform..(4/5)

— This is not normal (@yorkiedad1984) May 30, 2019

..the Twitter #2A-unhinged that there are 24 less cartridges in circulation in a land plagued by boundless slaughter and indifference to peace due to fright that their worship of an inanimate object might be infringed #EndGunViolence (5/5)

Best troll ever.
