Comment by once banned twice shy on February 7, 2013 at 1:48pm: To be fair, the anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons were for World War II planes and tanks. So they are probably totally useless now. Heh.

And I think Mr. Carrasco, the voice in the wilderness about the gas station, is being a bit hyperbolic here. Hate crime? I wasn't aware that Lying Sacks of Shit and Ignorant Fools are protected classes of people in this state. I also think the White House couldn't care less about a meanly-worded e-mail between a city councilor and his friend which somehow became public.

Comment by Johnny_Mango on February 7, 2013 at 6:33pm: What bothers me the most about the 1500 firearms is the cost involved. At $200 apiece, that comes to $300,000. That doesn't sound like a hobbyist to me. That sounds like something more serious, like either an off-the-books dealer or someone who is contemplating a need fora military arsenal.
