A direct threat is weapons of mass destruction. Hell if you have enough money and you want some F 15 Eagles fuck it buy em. If you feel the need for sniper rifles or whatever crazy shit and you have the money to pay whatever buy it. Weapons are not evil or bad. On the contrary, governments that fear the day when their people will become armed are bad. Weapons are liberating :)Another solid point about weapons and terrorism to mention: Hand guns and even assault rifles are not terrorist weapons. Tanks and armored cars arnt terrorist weapons either. Terrorist weapons are things like bombs and Boeing jets. So I say we ban the sale of bombs and jets.I don`t know about national security, but firearms in general are a threat to anything around them. Sure I guess you could buy a F-15, sniper rifle, as long as you don`t crash it into a civilian area or shoot an innocent bystander. Weapons I think are far from liberating, its just a never ending cycle of threat. Not really following you here, it doesn`t matter if its a terrorist wielding those weapons, its still a threat to anyone without one. You seem to miss the point, I`m not stating that these weapons are 'terrorist' weapons, I`m saying that all weapons can lead to violence when arming/owning them. A terrorist is a person who terrorizes or uses fear to control or create chaos among a set population. You can not own a single weapon and still be a terrorist. Have you ever seen the nuclear warheads sold on the black market? Now that's disturbing. If the US Govt. would stop playing games with 3rd world countries and actually seize these weapons, I would applaud them. Unfortunately they have wasted tax payer`s money, wasted their resources/workforce, destroyed countless lives and still somehow have managed to stay in control and flee prosecution. I`m sorry but I see the American government as board of war criminals, it is most unfortunate for their citizens.Please do the world a favor and read the book "More Guns, Less Crime" which is the most comprehensive, unbiased study of Western nation-states that has ever been performed. And I say it's unbiased because the author started out initially with the exact opposite conclusions assumed as what empirical data told him.What Africa needs is not a fucking drop more of taxpayer dollars in the form of "aid". Straight to the fucked up tyrannical governments, which means more guns and more hired soldiers to keep the gang of thieves in power a bit longer. It's disgusting.
