Could they just lose them over here instead?

in the news from the GAO, AOAV found that of an estimated 1.45 million guns the U.S. government gave to Iraq and Afghanistan over that period(2001-2016), the Pentagon could only account for 700,000 (48 percent).

The 1.45 million small arms included more than 978,000 assault rifles, 266,000 pistols, and almost 112,000 machine guns.

And the government is worried about my one 80% build?

Afghanistan and Iraq - where S&W was able to dump their Sigmas.

that's ok as the terrorist's over there can be trusted to not use said guns and ammo in a bad way.

unlike us Americans who will murder anyone, just cause we have a gun.

Hundreds of thousands of missing full auto weapons in the hands of the bad guys, but I am not allowed to export my 10/22 Tommy Kits because they are "Military Equipment" that might be used by a terrorist.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so stupid.

... and in other news a proposal has been made in Chicago to put serial numbers on bullets in an effort to solve crime.

Government can't account for 48% of the weapons sent to Afghanistan but someone thinks government will be able to accurately track billions of bullets?

Im wondering what agenda the NY Times has for writing and reporting on this story?
