14000 Blue Label guns sold as Red Label. That profit more than covers the bribe.

Meantime, I'm actually a LE supplier and have so many hoops to jump through to get Blue Label guns it isn't funny, not everyone wants to give you a badge number or letterhead to buy a Glock when they can just order the same gun for $10 more off the internet without the red tape.

Got to the point I simply stopped dealing with Glocks.

I bet old Gaston Glock had no idea how the scum in the American Gun industry would come to stain his name when he was designing his pistol in Austria back in the day, eh?

I can remember being a younger shooter and just assuming that gun people were a cut above the average American, dishonest slob. Then I joined ARFcom and watched people ripping each other off and read accounts of all the bottom feeders and fly by night operations out there (LWRCi, Olympic Arms, etc.). Wow. What a disappointment.

It instills such confidence and reassurance in the DOJ to know they have so much time, resources, and tax payer's money on hand to devote to such a Godless heathen. Now I just wished they could do their ****ing job and investigate POTUS on down for crimes against the American people and stop the unabated flow of ****ing illegal aliens.

That doesn't make the 'right' people look bad, so what difference does it make?

Keep in mind he left his own DNA stains all over Europe.

This thing more than likely has teeth from what I know. I just have to ask myself how big of a deal is this when Kargashians are getting married/divorced, vets are getting primo healthcare, terrorist commanders are being captured and sent to GITMO, etc... etc..

Anything that supports the whole "high risk" stance and can negatively portray the industry will get coverage.
