#1 But they were going on a hunting trip. That's it. Some kind of bird... a bustard. It's an old arab tradition.

#2 The four came under suspicion as they stockpiled guns and ammunition legally purchased from dealers in Iowa over the last several months.

No, firearm straw purchases are illegal.

#3 Agreed. Purchasing firearms with the intent to transfer them to somebody else is against the law, right Marky Kelly? Especially so if sending it out of country, right Derelict Holder? Hell, there are accessories which cannot go across the border. I'm not even sure a person can send honey overseas without declaring it for inspection.

In my hand, magazine:

#6 Thought that too, so looked up what would use a 5.7 and had a number of F&H show up, so maybe they wanted fancy speed bikes over scooters?
