1) If it was coming at the request of the White House, you would have Ashcroft ordering it for Virginia and DC too, with Warner right at his side.
2) If it was about aiding the high-tech equipment, then why the ban on bows and arrows?
3) If this equipment relied on no other gunfire, how could it ever have been any use in an environment like Afghanistan?
Interesting question. You will have private mail shortly. FReegards....
