re: #348 Dark_Falcon
infowars and prisonplanet are yelling about this, but based on my own knowledge (from back when I sold seats to defense conferences) this is just SOP for the State Department. I doubt SecState Kerry was even told this would be done before the letter was sent.
And with the route they are using, the fact the item in question is a gun is secondary. They’re approaching it as unregulated technological export.
