British authorities also thought that militants from overseas were training in the United States to take advantage of America's gun laws, sources told ABCNEWS.

Another transparent attempt to link guns and terrorists. As if 1) The 9/11 murderers even USED guns; and 2) any terrorist worth his bomb belt would buy guns from a legitimate source in the first place.

Just across the Gulf of Aden from Saudi Arabia lies Somalia. The Bakara Market in Mogadishu is little more than a bargain bazaar for every kind of small arms in the world. You can buy an AK-47 -- fully select-fire -- for as little as $75. Yet we're supposed to believe that foreign terrorists are milling around K-Mart and your local gun shop snapping up old Winchesters and single-shot 12 gauges to advance their jihad.

Uh huh. And undoubtedly Osama bin Laden buys his C-rats at the Army-Navy Surplus.

Haven't they heard. Its drugs linked with the terrorists, not guns. These guys need to get with the program.

Don't try and confuse them(abcnews)with pertinent facts and/or common sense.

And they want us to believe that terrorists are buying semi-auto AK-47s at gun shows. The ones I have seen at gun shows were selling for five to seven hundred.
