We allowed to bash the Washington Times? Pretty shabby reporting from the Rev. Moon's outfit. It didn't take too long for this article to be debunked. Still didn't stop a few guys for going off half cocked about losing thier guns and the FFDO program itself.

Like I said, it's funny.

(No really, it is.)

Or wait. Maybe it's sad.

The cancellation of brass sales has undertones of an anti-gun agenda in ultimately raising ammunition prices.

Note: they both seem to be part of an anti-gun agenda.

Pure knee-jerk reaction paranoia.

Why would a cargo pilot want to be an FFDO? Yeah yeah, I know....jumpseaters, couriers etc. However, they're a very minimal risk. I believe the answer is that they like the badge and gun and it is not for any noble reasons.
