JUST THINK IF SOME ONE IN WASHINGTON HAD A BRAIN AN DECIDED TO MAKE SOME MONEY AN SELL ALL THE OUT DATED ARMS THAT IS IN GOVT WAREHOUSE'S Just think if some one in Washington had a brain an decided to make some money an sell all the out dated arms that is in govt warehouse's around the united states. That they had been hoarding since the civil war. Within less than 1 year we would have no national debt. Reason I know this would work is had an uncle who worked in an armory who said that thee stock pile would make a collector cry. We could only hope for the best an that the govt does not destroy all the items.

Let's the fed had 50 million BARs (M1918s) and could sell them for $ 20,000.00 each.
That would only be one trillion dollars.
There nothing close to that lieing around.

If there are billions, much less trillions of $$$ worth of old military firearms just languishing around US military depots it would be an amazing find. Keep in mind that the US Army has been hard pressed to find enough M14 Rifles for issue due a huge portion of the production run being sent overseas to nations which have no intention of ever giving them back.
I'd like to buy a boat like the "Nasty" class or maybe a small sub.
heck yeah, for hire.
Of course the cost will be higher for the firearms plus the profits too!
The U.N. can manipulate foreign countries to destroy old firearms easier too! We The People are being hoodwinked once again. Follow the money as usual! [:o)]
