Since when does ATF do ANYTHING to proper spec?
Liars.
Glendale may not be Scottsdale, but last I checked, those people have rights as well.
As for SRP, I'd be well-pissed and would have my men checking poles and immediately removing and confiscating all foreign equipment. When ATF would demand it returned I would tell them that it's been disposed of and to go pound salt up their bootholes.
But few fight back and that is why Theye get away with all the crime they do. And what about all those wonderful and brave Americans whose opinion is that it's OK if "government" says it is needed. Those are the people who, in the wake of a civil war, I would march on to cattle cars and ship them to Canada with the message that if you are caught on American soil hereafter, you will be shot on sight and please do have a nice life in the Great White North. Oh, I'd do the same with the southern border, adding my warning to MX that Mexico City would be obliterated if they so much as make even a single squeak.
Yes yes, it's mostly bitter sarcasm, but not 100% in terms of my personal sentiment. I am not sure what one does with such cowardly, corrupt, and willfully idiotic people. But the disgust I feel for them is barely defined by limit. I am still attempting to work out why brave and diligent and courageous men should tolerate the presence of despicable corrupt cowards who demand their idiocies. When you ship them away or kill them off, you become tyrants. When you tolerate them, you, and with you your posterity, are consumed in the flames of their parasitic stupidity.
Truly, entropy shall win the day at its end. How depressing it THAT?
