I see you are one of those double down when wrong types of people.

The fact that you are trying to use Wikipedia to counter me demonstrates the title of my first post. You obviously were not familiar (and still aren't). I LOL because you are flailing trying to counter that obvious fact that you were speaking from ignorance (Ignorance: def. The state of not knowing).

The whole guns argument that you try to tie me into - you were having that with Nadin.

Which leads me back to another question. What NRA talking points did I have in my first post to you? I merely corrected your wildly wrong "appeal to authority" attempt against Nadin. Don't make the accusation if you can't back it up!

it was a private (for profit) contractor who hired him as they hire many civies, ex. military.. Sunlei Sep 2013 #47

Are "small and disadvantaged business" subcontractor employees given extra slack? FarCenter Sep 2013 #49

oh probably, no 'felony' already cuts to much slack for all contractors. Sunlei Sep 2013 #55

The private company did not give him the clearance Marrah_G Sep 2013 #50

the clearance company is probably contracted too and a lot of slackers in those desk jobs Sunlei Sep 2013 #53

I was under the impression that the FBI does the clearance checks Marrah_G Sep 2013 #57

The Navy and the FBI did not investigate. A Private corporation approved the security clearance. Agnosticsherbet Sep 2013 #104

The Navy did indeed fuck up- The FBI fucked up by allowing clearance to be privatized Marrah_G Sep 2013 #111
