Just reflected–among all the military hardware left in Afghanistan, there were around 978,000 M-16s and M4s. Last I heard, the number of transferrable full-autos in the US was about 200,000. So Afghanistan, population around that of California, now has five times as Many full-autos as does the US! And that’s not counting what they got from the Soviets.
I got an email ad for ammo, and replied they should send their buyers to Kabul. They have tons of US-made 5.56, and likely will sell it for scrap value.
I want one, but I don’t want to move to Afghanistan.

The debacle in Afghanistan proves once again that the senior members of the U.S. government have a virtual license to steal, and that they are, de facto, above the law. The proof is on display for all to see.
An individual soldier or Marine who misplaces or loses his issued weapon due to negligence or carelessness or other cause can expect to face severe punishment, depending on the circumstances. One who knowingly sells or gives his weapon to the enemy, has committed a severe violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and if charged/convicted, can do serious time in Leavenworth Military Prison. Following which, a dishonorable discharge which will follow him around the rest of his life.
Contrast this with the carefree Joe Biden and his people. They – either through incompetency and carelessness or intentional malfeasance – abandoned over a billion dollars of high-tech weaponry, gear, equipment and other valuable hardware and weaponry of war to fall into the hands of our enemies. Not only will the Taliban get it, so too will the Chinese, the Pakistanis and the Iranians, to name a few… and pretty much every other jihadist group one can name in that part of the world.
Biden and his people won’t be punished, and they know it – which is why they are so nonchalant and unconcerned about events over there.
If nothing else, this disgraceful episode shows once-and-for-all time the real motives behind Democrat-Left gun control in this country. By which we mean that they don’t care at all if some of the most-vicious and blood-thirsty terrorists in the world get their hands on military-grade automatic weapons – but they do care about denying firearms to law-abiding Americans back home.
The next time some well-meaning idiot tries to tell you that the gun-controllers are pure of heart and motive concerning firearms and who gets to own them, make reference to this shameful and outrageous episode.
Apropos of this incident, it is a serious violation of international law to traffic in stolen, decommissioned or abandoned military weapons in this manner, but Biden and company (no doubt including Obama) behind the scenes, having gotten away with it before not once (Fast & Furious) but twice (Benghazi), are confident that they can do it again without any problems.
See what I mean? Above the law…. that’s what they are.
