30. For a person
Edited on Wed Mar-23-11 06:38 AM by MyrnaLoy
Who claims to not make assumptions you seem to make quite a few. Now you say it seems home built to you. Are you assuming that or do you know it to be home built. You are so right in one respect, this thread is a great example of assumptions, guesses, and wishes. Hopefully others will remember it when another member of this forum parades the infamous purple pant suit photo. Do we both agree now that the tripod mounted weapon could have come from the US?

I know you guys would hate to admit it but WE are the source for many of the weapons killing people in Mexico. If the members of this forum chose to listen and not attack the poster of every thread they disagree with them there may be some great dialog. At best it's just a mass of contradictions, assumptions, and bitterness.

Take just the easy/hard to convert contradiction. It's been said in this thread it is easy. In many threads in the past it is said that it is hard. I think people chose the answer that helps their argument. I believe, for the most part, it is easy with the right tools. I've seen an entire firearm being made from scratch in a backyard shop by my old metal shop teacher.

Back to the tripod mounted weapon for a sec, I think I saw it posted here that drug runners wouldn't pay that much for a full auto version of this weapon because it would be too expensive. I wonder, how much do drug cartels make a year? I bet they could buy as many as they want. I hope you see how silly it is now to use the pant suit photo as some sort of "proof" that weapons are not coming from here. That is getting sillier by the minute. Also, this gunrunner diversion bought and paid for by the NRA is just as silly. The NRA and many of the members of this forum actually want us to believe the BATFE wanted guns to go to Mexico? Laughable. It was, and still is, an operation to discover the sources and routes used in these illegal purchases. Everything the NRA and those who belittle the efforts of the BATFE are trying to do contribute in some small way to every gun that crosses the border. Demonizing the BATFE is actually killing people in Mexico.
