Who Guards the Guards: Soldier Sells Mines and Machineguns

There continues to be an argument that most guns used in crime must have been legally purchased. This is argued again and again by the liberal media, suggesting that if guns were all illegal that no legal gun could ever become illegal in the first place.
But the latest exception to the rule has come up, and this time it was a soldier who sold not only guns but even landmines, reports The Leaf Chronicle of Clarksville, Kentucky. The paper noted:
“A 22-year-old Fort Campbell soldier on Monday sold a machine gun and a Claymore mine to an undercover ATF agent in Oak Grove, Ky., according to a news release from the Hopkinsville, Ky., Police Department.”
Again, this wasn’t a straw purchase, anything to do with the so-called “gun show loophole,” but instead this was just another example of how bad people would (and do) obtain guns when legally doing so isn’t an option.
