So, no Inter-galactic Background Checks will be done on these. No 4473’s for the fbi to track. Oh. And these are actual “assault” weapons. Hello difi. Better get on this right away. We can’t have these “high powered” weapons on the streets of kuwait. Lucky they won’t be able to get additional “high capacity ‘clips’” for them huh? At least from ny, ct, ca, ma, nj and a number of other places. Did maybe some chechnians do the deed? Nah. Probably some anti-federalist white guys holding a grudge.

exactly. to pretend that “nobody was on guard duty” when 35,000 of our brand new weapons were stolen

is absurd!

even the local quickie-mart has surveillance cameras and a security guard service, and that’s only to protect a few cases of beer

this is, indeed, how we arm the enemy

I have to ask myself why there were 20,000 m-16s sitting unguarded in Kuwait?

Fast and Furious—Kuwaiti style.

To believe this is a mistake is ridiculous.

The government knows exactly what they are doing and the orders always come from the top down, not the other way around.

Protect our borders now! We want a big fence along the whole Rio Grande. I am tired of hearing that it would be too expensive and ineffective. The Berlin Wall and it attendant fencings across the length of Eastern Europe did a pretty effective job of preventing people from leaving for 40 years. Our fence, I would call it the “Freedom Fence”, will let people go anytime they want, but will stop people from coming here uninvited. Besides, since dems like public spending so much, it would provide thousands of jobs. If we are going spend billions of dollars on public works projects, this is a public project I could support. I know. It will never happen.
