Hey Ronin, was there actually a Katie Couric interview such as one in your postings? I would have loved to see her face.

Snopes said "no" there was no marine sniper interview by Couric. Apparently it is a time honored joke amongst the hard hearted baby killers many of us have been and some aspire to become.

It is a good line, and I smile every time I read Ronin13's sig.

Damn. As I said earlier, I would have loved to see her face -if- such an interview had ever occured.

OOOh, no that's a joke, it was proved wrong on Snopes but it still is very funny. The interview text was sent to me in an email some time ago, and it said [Katie's jaw drops], after checking it out it was just a patriotic thing that someone circulated around that got a chuckle out of a lot of people.

atf is on the short list of govt agencies that should be shut down post haste.

we should pull every soldier out of korea, germany, and japan and put them on our borders.

Well this might not have been a half bad idea had they put tracking bugs in all the rifles. I don't know, I supose it doesn't matter since it didn't happen(the tracking bug part)

Usually when it comes to the future of our gun rights (or any other good thing for that matter), I'm a huge pessimist ... however this whole gun runner thing has me hopeful that we might just see the end of the BATFE as we know it.

Doesn't the article specifically state that they DID in fact put GPS trackers in the stocks? Or are you just being sarcastic?

It says they put them in SOME stocks.

And how did that work out? lolz

The scary thing, is that Obama understands that he can not attack gun control head on, just like the brady campaign reported recently. Obama is looking to move gun control forward "under the radar".
One explanation for all of this is quite frightening. Let's say that Obama or his administration initiated these gunrunner programs with the intention for the programs to eventually fail and go public. The desired result would be to get groups like the NRA, Congress, co-ar15, and eventually the general population to scream for a massive overhaul of BATFE. So, Obama shrugs his shoulder and says, "sure, I'll overhaul and remake BATFE, just like I did with the banking industry, the auto industry, healthcare...."
My concern is that a sweeping overhaul of BATFE, under Obama's admin, would be devastating to our rights.
