Gun Markets in Afghanistan and Pakistan

This is an interesting film of a guy who goes to a place near the Khyber Pass where they are illegally making 1000 guns a day in one town.

"Nazi gun -- pure evil in my hand"

The evil is not in the gun but in the hand that holds it.

Very interesting video. I'm not sure I would have been shooting off the roof like that for kicks with people below but that's just my training kicking in.

Very good. Thanks CW.

Citizen Warrior,

I don't support gun control, in part because of how difficult it is to keep guns out of the hands of bad guys when you take them away from decent people, but I never realized how easily you could make guns.

Midnight Rider, I was thinking the same thing about the Nazi gun.

Damien, exactly.

CW -- I bought a pre-war Walther PP at a gun show wome months ago. Daughter # 2 shoots with me, liked the gun alot until she realized it was Nazi gun. I told her the same thing it's not the gun and now she's good with it.

Damien -- I hope a whole lot more people think like you on this.

midnight rider,

If you have any friends who support gun control, maybe you should show them this video and ask them to think about what it shows.

Actually that's not a bad idea. They get edgy when they know I'm carrying, which is all the time except in victim disarmament zones like courthouses, schools and the office. Though they're not as bad as they used to be.

Even my 70 yr old mom who used to be anti-gun has now said she thinks she'd like to try shooting. Told her whenever she wants I'll take her to the range.

Wait till you see how many can be made in one day in the US after guns are outlawed!! We've got good machines/tooling.
