13. I can play that game too...

Jul 2012

lets make our guns laws like Somaila's, Sudans or Pakistans.

I always thought it would be pretty cool to frequent open air bazaars chock full of full-auto goodies, antipersonnel mines, rocket launchers and fragmentation grenades.

I mean... how can you possibly beat a bargain like picking up an RPG or AKM (slightly used... shows some battle wear), in trade for a goat or a few chickens or a couple of cartons of Marlboro lites?

I would re open the NFA registry Trunk Monkey Jul 2012 #1
