If Cabelas doesn’t sell Glocks to gang members, Walmart will. By that logic we might as well sell to North Korea or ISIS. Oh wait, we did sell to ISIS. (at least having the common decency to have a cutout)
America has become one moral compromise after another. Saudi Arabia is one of the most repressive, freedom hating nations on earth.
If you’ll sell to the Saudis, you’ll sell to absolutely anybody.
We allied with Stalin during WW2. The world isn’t a pretty place.
Saudi Arabia should still be glowing.

The UK, Russia, or China would love to get those billions and the jobs. So we don’t sell to Saudi. That will show them. i never said they were choirboys. BTW, their first choice is to buy American, but they’ll go elsewhere if they have to. Some act like the Saudis will just go without if we don’t sell to them. Doesn’t happen.
Another point is that thanks to us selling them all of that equipment they’ll probably never use, we have to spend hardly any money or resources on intelligence there.
