#1 Wonder how many servicable weapons will NOT be turned in?

#2 If Tatter is true to his word, then weapons will not be an issue. But if he is bullshiting "us" again....then the weapons issue could get ugly.
But he has got to be thinking about how an F-16 ot F-15 can land a bomb within inches of his hommies hang out and be wondering how close are they (USA Military) from taking him out.

For some reason we allow this puke to remain alive. There must be a reason.

#3 A living failure is much less of a threat than a dead martyr.

#4 The question isn't how many weapons will be turned in, it's how many "militiamen" will come forward, instead of sending children, to turn the weapons in. I bet we have camera's ready to snapshot every person who comes through the door.

#5 agree Mrs. D! I wish I better understood what the logic is. I think it's a good idea to have his militia go to the polls, rather than use their guns - but it is a risky proposition that could lead to problems for decades to come. I wonder who he will be siphoning off his votes from?

#6 ..What I'd love to see somebody do is require that the FIGHTERS turn in their weapons - they won't be held, but we WILL take their pics and fingerprint them.
Go in peace, sin no more, and if we catch you again, it's an automatic death sentence.
Have a nice day.

#7 They're being compensated (with ca$h) for what they turn in. Fox reported earlier this AM that one guy was paid over $14K USD - he turned in a shitload of RPG and artillery rounds. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, get drunk, or what. Bizarro World rides again.

#11 Actually the Arty ammo is a very big item - no matter how old the shells are, they can still be made into an IED and go boom.
