There is some question as to whether the gun that killed the border patrol guard JDPriestly Jun 2012 #20
Only the published news reports. PavePusher Jun 2012 #29
As I said, you need some forensic evidence about the bullet. Guns could JDPriestly Jun 2012 #90
Just for the record, such a matching may not be possible/available. PavePusher Jun 2012 #91
Without it and without witnesses????? JDPriestly Jun 2012 #92
Uh, not sure what you're asking there. n/t PavePusher Jun 2012 #93
I'm wondering how anyone can claim that the killing was related to the weapons found at JDPriestly Jun 2012 #94
It's actually almost irrelevent if that was the specific gun used to kill Terry or not. PavePusher Jun 2012 #95
Holder was lied to. That is why he said what he did. That is why, when he learned JDPriestly Jul 2012 #96

So, the cartels are getting their full-auto AK's and their RPG's.... PavePusher Jun 2012 #28
You and I both know it's totally legal for a person to buy a full-auto AK, or RPG, in the US. boppers Jun 2012 #34
Which takes a Federal background check and several months to obtain.... PavePusher Jun 2012 #36
So, yeah, legal in the US. boppers Jun 2012 #39
I never said it wasn't legal.... but it's not the route the traffickers are using.... PavePusher Jun 2012 #40
Nope. No pictures. Just memories. boppers Jun 2012 #44
"assault uniforms"? "the attitude of the gun dealers"? PavePusher Jun 2012 #50
If you have a tactical vest, it *will* be used as evidence. boppers Jun 2012 #67
Here in the US? Or in Mexico? PavePusher Jun 2012 #70
The Uniform game? boppers Jun 2012 #72
So U.S. LE uniforms were being taken to Mexico and used in fake raids there? PavePusher Jun 2012 #74
Nonono, wait, I must not have been clear. boppers Jun 2012 #77
Turns out that's *exactly* the route the trafficers were using. boppers Jun 2012 #66

Again, what laws should we have? PavePusher Jun 2012 #58
I was merely responding to assertion that Arizona's laws are not different from other states goodhue Jun 2012 #59
Most states do not have these restrictions. What makes Arizona a special case? PavePusher Jun 2012 #63
