Interesting that NRA, and their conservative supporters spent several decades saying “assault type” weapons had little or nothing to do with crimes, now with “fast and furious”, it’s all Holder’s fault?
Setting up Noriega and Iran/Contra were the biggest dealers in history, period. BTW, it isn’t the “appearance”, but the high capacity magazines that make some weapons far more dangerous, in the hands of people who are indeed dangerous. The other factor is that it IS the real narcotics, not marijuana, that turn the biggest profit margin. The “war on drugs” is a farce, a deadly one, especially when legal pot would make more sense, and limit “enforcement” to actual dangerous elements. But “hype” sells itself, and brings in more cash to the real crooks.

Guns are conservatives way to say they love little children, who usually find them loaded under beds.
