Feds investigate how suspected white supremacist -- a felon -- obtained arsenal

Watcher wrote:Federal agents are trying to determine how a suspected Ohio white supremacist with a felony conviction for manslaughter acquired a cache of 18 assault weapons and other firearms, along with high-capacity magazines and more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, according to federal law enforcement officials and court documents reviewed by NBC News.

The storehouse of weapons was discovered late last month when FBI agents arrested Richard Schmidt, 47, the owner of a Bowling Green sporting goods store called Spindletop Sports Zone, on charges of marketing counterfeit goods -- such as football jerseys with NFL logos -- from China.

It doesn't matter Seaoat, we could be talking about horseshoes having a license to be sold. People who want a product will get that product regardless of the laws in place. That is something you and the rest of your Obamaites don't get.

Isn't that the exact same argument some people use to justify legalizing marijuana?

No one said limiting the purchase of assault weapons and ammo will completely prevent black market purchases, but it's a deterrent. Criminals will find ways around the laws, but they'll be criminals and subject to prosecution and incarceration.
