“The former director of Houston’s FBI office said rocket launchers can be dangerous if they’re in the wrong hands”

But in the right hands, after a coupla' beers . . . .

officers also found Jihadist writings ...[but somehow still]...
did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network

I think the guy that was re-assigned because he approved the next step in prosecuting the Black Panther voter intimidators, and Nidal Hasan's colleagues who demurred risking their positions to turn Hasan could tell us something about how these unwelcome, big red flags are snuffed out, lest career advancement somehow, curiously end.

It's Political Corruption of every avenue of life. If we don't put a stop to it, it'll only grow to consume us.

Without rockets, it's a plastic tube. Plastic tubes scare you?

Plastic tubes sized in diameter and length to fit off-the-shelf rockets, and structured with the additional fitting to aim and fire said rockets, in the hands of Islamic terrorists in Houston scare me, yes.

Plastic tubes of the above sort which come pre-fixed with an non-reloadable rocket, which are now empty, in the apartment of Islamic terrorists in Houston scare me even more, yes.

It's a connect-the-dots kind of thing - you wouldn't understand.

"Prosecutors said there are no state charges for having the unarmed launcher or possessing Jihadist writings, unless they contain some type of threat."

OMG I can't believe we are SOOO stupid~~

Isn’t that scary. I saw the headlines of the story and went straight to what the guy’s name was.

The guy’s name appears to be a West African name. Guinea. A country that is 85% Muslim. Wonder if he is Muslim? I guess there is a 15% chance he is not.

Truly incredible at the time we live in.

"Ok, I’ve read all the post on this and I guess I’ll just step out there ready for flaming. I personally believe under our constitution that any one of us should be able to have weapons for self defense."

People with names like Nabilaye I. Yansane do not have the right to own this IMO under any circumstances while also possessing some kind of jihadist writings.

Does anyone want to try and buy an airline ticket in this name and see if you can get it?

Since it is a portable one-shot anti-tank weapon and the launcher and projectile are manufactured prepacked and issued as a single unit of ammunition, it is just a plastic tube.

It's a connect-the-dots kind of thing - you wouldn't understand.

I found a spent LAW tube in somebody’s curbside garbage when I was a kid in the late ‘60’s. It was cool to play army with. I have seen them reloaded with sub-caliber rounds for training, though. I don’t know if you can reload them with the primary round. I can’t see why not, though.

How many month’s will it be before they can get this guy’s name on the list?

It doesn't really matter, since the TSA doesn't/can't read the list anyway.

I saw one of those in an antique shop in Saginaw, Michigan less than a year ago. It's a dadgum fiberglass tube with a couple of springs and a peep sight. Guess I should have alerted the feds.

The sub-caliber device used in the LAW in basic training units at Fort Jackson, SC during February and March 1986 (I’m that specific just in case it was something else just before, just after or somewhere else) was basically an insert containing a reloadable single-shot gun firing 9mm pistol ammunition and rigged so its safety and trigger were those used on a live LAW.
