Stop Arming Cartels Act makes it unlawful to make, sell, possess a rifle ‘capable of firing .50-caliber ammunition’
Two members of Congress from Texas and one from Florida have filed a bill they say will cut down on drug cartel violence by banning .50-caliber rifles in America.
You're viewing a single thread.
Okay, but this should also apply to the military and police. (Redundant, I know.) We don't want someone stealing rifles and selling them to cartels, right?
Don't know if you're aware or if it's the point, but that's EXACTLY what the US government has done repeatedly. Selling the cartels weapons as "undercover stings" and then losing track of the weapons and people. Which means all they did was literally sell weaponry to the cartel.
Most Americans aren't aware of this routinely happening, so I wasn't sure if you're comment was aware or not.
Operation fast and furious
You want the US army not to have 50 caliber rifles? That might not be a good idea
Depends what side you are on
Yeah shit on the US all you want but for all it's horrific shortcomings, I prefer the US a hundred times over, say, China or Russia and so do you, you just don't know it yet, apparently.
Why do you think I’m not aware?
Because you start implying that the US is the bad side.
I didn’t imply any morality to either side
I just said a weak US army helps the other side
