Does Rand/Ron Paul, Chris Hedges, and Glenn Greenwald KNOW enough to arm just anyone who says they oppose the U.N. and/or PO, assuming that these new Bushmaster owners have the best interests of the people you claim to be concerned about at heart? Whatever's right or wrong in these countries, none of it is made any better by arming anyone and everyone Fast-and-Furious style.
People who bitch about drones are, possibly, not only johnny-come-latelies to war resistance (something that they likely suddenly found somekind of commitment to that just so happened to co-incide with a relatively successful racist candidate known as Ron Paul) but also opponents to 3rd world countries controlling the flow of AMERICAN arms into their countries by means of treaties with the U.N.
Even if there is a point to UN financial corruption (which could also just be competition with Libertarians for foreign markets of certain types) do you think that UN corruption matters to children of newly created Bushmaster owners? One person's "liberator", as we saw in Libya, can be a bunch of other people's terrorists, drone targets, or only part of a longer more collaborative process like that which rose to the surface in Egypt on 9/11/12. Do the Pauls/Hedges/Greenwald know enough to predict the outcomes of supporting the NRA's BUSHMASTER markets anywhere and everywhere?
When you fertilize the ground with Bushmasters, drones are the next step, so anyone who is bitching about drones needs to find out if they are working with others, Libertarians usually, who oppose US participation in UN Arms Control Treaties that interfere with the NRA's markets south of our border and around the world.
