In reply to the discussion: Educate Cabela's re: protecting assault weapons that could kill US Troops in the world's hot spots. [View all]patrice
(47,992 posts)about the historically validated probabilities that they end up following these private gun sales into places where those weapons, or weapons sold in the same markets by our big arms competitor, China, have become part of situation that OUR soldiers have to "fix"?
It all starts with gun seeds and escalates into anything and everything else we and others have in our arsenals, including the blood of millions of INNOCENT people.
What is wrong with countries who have those kinds of problems trying to do something about that by soliciting our agreement, and that of other nations around the world, to arms control treaties through the U.N.?
Does 2nd Amendment ideology take precedence over ONE soldier's life? - especially when things COULD be different in a way that would work for everyone, except that it would make our billionaire arms industry, on the tax sugar tit, btw, somewhat less rich.
