Oh, I know my way around firearms. But the FBI are posing as arms dealers. And arms dealers (legal or otherwise) don't take loaded weapons to exchanges. Also, the agent checked the mag to make sure it was clear before handing it over to them.

And the FBI idiot didn't have a problem pointing it at the potential customers. Just when one of the RA boys was pointing it at the wall. I guess he didn't want the poor drywall to get shot.

@nofalltoofar People who deal with weapons often are trained to treat ANY firearm as if it loaded. That is why they did it. My best friend is in the military and he does the same thing.

[nofalltoofar]

Lol at the dumbass FBI agents. "Don't point the gun in here" as it is pointed at the wall, no clip in it.

Barrel-assed doughnut munchers. Being in the same room as somebody who's possibly fired a gun at another person probably made them nervous.

@MrHankscorpio100 well you can't forse the majority protestants in NI to join ROI, they don't want to and have stated over and over again how strongly against it they are. And they have been bombed and murdered for that. They have already had a taste of catholic, and don't want more of that.

[MrHankscorpio100]

i've been thinking anyway in terms of how best to democratically make sure a unification is best for all parties, so nobody is neglected, why can't we have a united ireland whereby there is still a government in belfast to ensure that unionists are still respected and there is consultation between belfast and dublin. unionists are born on the island of ireland, that they cannot deny. david irvine himself said why can't he be regarded as irish?

[MrHankscorpio100]

@garethella if a united ireland happen, nobody is forcing protestants to convert to catholicism. this is not about religion. its about the people of the north being ruled by dublin on one island of IRELAND. Britain doesn't care about the north. the partition was set up to get the irish off the british's back. london didn't even know what was going on in the north until the civil rights marches. they have had no interest on this island since the partition. there's more benefits in unification
