Found out today that ATF is in my office building. One of the guys who works for the office complex knows all the guys up there, ATF said that a local gunship sold 87 AR-15's yesterday. Kind of scary, and I own guns, but nothing like an AR-15.
Do they not see the irony of turning America into a police state so they can have their second amendment "rights"?
Most of it was redic, but really glad they called out the media. Should have pressed that point further.
