Whoever wrote this report has little or no understanding of economics. Decent-quality firearms, which is what you'd use to fight a war, aren't exactly inexpensive in this country. In the Middle East (where the fighting is), reliable knock-offs of AK's can be had for next to nothing - not to mention lower shipping costs, no export regulations or customs to deal with, etc.
The anti-self-defense crowd are all crying in their beer b/c there are a ton of people in the US who have made their first-ever firearm purchase since 9/11. These people are also getting trained, getting CCW permits, etc. They're buying pistols for protection, not long guns for sport - and that has the anti's worried, since their focus for the past few years has been on handguns.

Exactly. In the Middle East you can buy anything from a B-B gun to an F-16, fully loaded.
This is just more crapola from The Brady Bunch and the rest of the gun grabbers. Pay no attention to them - do what you gotta do.
