Not to be argumentative here, but locked in a safe with trigger locks and your ammunition in their factory boxes hardly constitutes an ability to be defensive should a security situation arise.
I have to worry though about RgrF's self portrait... What's with the Guitar Hero guitars - is that really sex, drugs and rock n roll?

When seconds matter,
the police are only minutes away.
Prior to 11/2008, Demil B items required no mutilation for sale to the
public. That policy changed in November, but several exceptions were
granted. Expended munitions brass was one of those given a waiver.
- Enter the new administration. Since Demil B category items had been
given a broad, general label as "national security sensitive" someone
above the DRMS (likely in the DLA) reviewed the policy and immediately
went with a CYA policy and yanked all exemptions. No thoughts or
considerations were given to the implications of this policy change,
but this directive was issued to DOD Surplus effective immediately last
week.
- **** storm blows up as a result. In particular, the letters, phone
calls, and emails to our legislators, the media, and anyone else who
would listen caused this policy to be review post haste.
- As of March 18, I was informed that expended munitions
brass will now be reclassified as Demil Q ?? which requires no
mutilation unless sold to a foreign country.

And 5 days after it is all over Suzanne posts based on people repeating old news and blaming it on the Obama administration. The whole creation of the requirement for most Demil B items to be rendered non-reusable was part of a review begun 2 years before. The CYA directive to remove the exemption most likely came from an existing manager, not a new appointee as they had not had one there yet.

Careful...I said the exact same thing to some right leaning friends of mine and they were not amused.
They ranted about this bill and that bill so much I went online....no bills....no nothing but the usual year to year crap....when I pointed that out I was called an 'Obamite'. I reminded them I didn't vote for him...didn't matter.
You can't change peoples minds with the truth...

well reasoned rebuttals and verifiable facts just piss people off.
