[quote:Grimsun:MV8yMTU3NjY0XzM2NDY4OTU4XzMzRjc4Rjgz] I remember seeing a video of a defense contractor quarterly review meeting and everyone gave a standing ovation when the CEO announced we were going to war with Iraq. Now that the boom is over we have to find some way to move all these weapons. [/quote]

That peacetime is taking food off someone's family. What can we do with all these defense contractors and arms industry companies who's bottom line may suffer? I got two great ideas!
First idea: Dump over a BILLION rounds of ammunition on agencies that couldn't possibly need it. Have them write it off as a 'training expense' and of course this will all be paid for by tax dollars.
This is a tactic used by industries who make policies (or get policy makers elected) to funnel public money into private hands. They don't really need that much ammo. It's another backroom deal worth millions.
Second idea: Move untold amounts of arms and ammunition on an increasingly frightened public through the use of a manufactured crisis. The crisis IS the so called 'gun grab'. Manipulating public fear is another tactic used by policy makers and industries (the same thing) to convince people into liquidate their hard earned money, fast. Whether it be selling Rapture insurance or 'survival' gear kits on amazon, people are set to capitalize on our paranoia.
So far all I have seen in this whole deal is a bunch of duped people, reacting exactly as predicted. Follow the money and see who is profiting. It's very clear that a lot of people are happy to let the public run out and clear their shelves over and over...
