They can penetrate World War II era flak vests. Where in the world are those even in use? <br /><br />High powered Kalashnikovs? As opposed to standard powered ones? Are high powered ones powered by tiny race car engines inside of them? Ol' Mikhail is still alive, maybe that can call him and ask. <br /><br />The idea that they can even think about successfully selling the idea that the multi-billion dollar drug cartels are getting semi-auto only, poorly reassembled (to be 922 compliant), overpriced Kalashnikovs a few dozen at a time over the US border tells you everything you need to know. They know there are enough blindingly and insanely ignorant Americans out there that will buy it. They interpolate us as all by the morons that outnumber us, what, 500,000 to one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-48605699629990648802011-01-27T08:53:27.638-06:002011-01-27T08:53:27.638-06:00Anon said "I hope its not the last time they ...Anon said "I hope its not the last time they see this particular view.

Aren't there underused manufacturing plants in Mexico, or is that strictly a U.S. phenomenon?<br /><br />Why not buy the machines to build them and then make as many as they want? Makes sense to me to make your own if you can. <br /><br />We in the U.S. should grow our own dope and put the cartels out of business, or better yet, LEGALIZE the shit and take the money out of their pockets. <br /><br />The govt. could tax it, but what would they do with all the cops and correctional officers who'd be out of work? Oh, yeah, they could stimulate Nancy Pelosi with their unemployment checks.<br /><br />BTW - the link to the build your own Sten is to a paysite, Scribd.

Hell, Bill Clinton declared a war in Europe to shift attention away from his domestic peccadilloes. And while, “Gun Walking”, encouraging and abetting straw purchases, and possibly condoning the transfer of a firearm used in the commission of a homicide, are somewhat more serious than infidelity. The use of self aggrandizing, positive news paper reports do have a way of diverting attention.<br /><br />[W3]W W Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326046112820327760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-2526594475207902472011-01-26T18:55:03.162-06:002011-01-26T18:55:03.162-06:00This is only very tangentially related, but intere...This is only very tangentially related, but interesting: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704062604576106323076312398.html" rel="nofollow">funding cuts for the BATFE?</a><br><br><i>At the department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, OMB had proposed, in a document drafted just before Christmas, a cut of 3.5% from what the agency is likely to spend this year, and a 12.7% cut from what the agency had said it needed.
