ReplyDeleteDelinked. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the US government allow more weapons to be imported here when the US State Dept continues to promote the destruction of small in other countries? Maybe I need to write about that...
ReplyDeleteThe BATFE's paper is babbling and incoherent. They say they can't import the M1s because it will lower the cost? Since when does the government care about that? They can't import them because with a handful of parts a skilled machinist and gunsmith can make them full-auto? Srsly? That's the best they've got? Can't a skilled machinist and gunsmith make anything - up to and including a doorknob - fully auto?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like someone higher up said, "No, you can't allow the import. Now go make me up a reason."
