Firearm-related False Flag Ping!

LOL Sorry! I only have seven more days of work left before summer vacation and we're all in full "teacher mode," blindly staggering towards the finish line. Anything misspelled or otherwise worthy of a red mark is getting nailed. Even subconsciously.

Well, 175 rifles is a lot of rifles, but the rest of it is bunk. A bit over 1 magazine per rifle, and about 6 rounds per. I wonder who the dealer was who accepted the forms stating these were for the purchaser’s sole use and that there were no straw purchases involved?

What? I always buy 150-200 of the exact same rifle when I go to the gun store!

[Still Thinking]

Having new, boxed rifles is not a crime. Having 200 magazines is not a crime. Having 53 bayonets is not a crime. Having 10,000 rounds of ammo is not a crime. Thinking about going to Mexico is not a cime.

I would have thought they'd allow them to cross fully into Mexico and then arrest them, then there'd be no way they could deny their intent. If this is for real and not a screenplay.

If El Presidente, Senor Cadaveron, were really serious, he would follow President Obummer and Mayor Daily's lead, and sponsor a nation wide, Chicago style buy-back, offering to trade 100 peso Wal-Mart certificates for every functioning assault rifle turned in by the cartels.

He could then turn them over to the army, to be resold back to the cartels.

Perpetual motion, keeping them too busy to shoot Federales.

It’s not *us* they are trying to convince.

This is all preparation for international control of our guns/lives.

No problem at all. Good luck during your last few days...

[Eagles6]

I have no doubt.

It’s a lot of rifles. I couldn’t get my hands on that many of them from my primary suppliers. If I split the order among five of them, I’d probably get them within a month, but it would raise a lot of eyebrows and cost over $150,000. If they were cheap ARs or AKs, they’d cost a lot less, but still over $85,000. The ammo is ten cases, which is do-able, but it’s another couple thousand dollars. The mags are worth about another $1,000.

Whoever staked these guys had a lot of cash.

"But believe me, many of these guns are not going to honest American hands."...

...and banning them works, because bad guys will obey the law.

Wait... never mind.
