It&#x27;s important to note that these are the sort of people who directly profit from gun control: gangsters and politicians. To say nothing of law enforcement, the legal system, or prison systems. The Philippines (apparently where the weapons were to be trafficked from) is rife with arms manufacturing, both legitimate and black-market.

Quite an interesting change of pace from the typical marital infidelities of &quot;family-values&quot; Republicans.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business-21840183" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business-21840183</a>
