#1 sounds like he was doing missionary work for the ROP

#2 Could just be a liberal trying to drum up fear against firearms - and especially against Barrett.

#3 He had best hope Bubba didn't get a pix of him and post it down @ the local hangouts. Might be a hot time......(hope so)

#4 The powerful gun is also sold to the general public. Critics have warned that the rifle could be used by terrorists to bring down commercial airliners or penetrate rail cars and storage plants holding hazardous materials.

The media never misses an opportunity to promote the gun-control agenda do they? What those two sentences have to do with the rest of the story is beyond my simple, un-nuanced reasoning.

BTW, Ronnie Barrett is an outstanding American.

#5 Ronnie is also a very well dressed outstanding American. He has done an outstanding job with his company. I would guess these fellows will be found rather quickly given the fuss they were making. Lucky they didn't get a .50 round in the engine block.

#6 Just in? Sounds like it would go all da way through.

#7 To bad the guard didn't have one of Ronnie's toys. Wish he'd shot the bastards.

Was wondering about the guard and the truck's plate numbers, then I remembered it was in Tennessee. That being said it was a pretty good description.

#8 "Suspects In Suspicious Incident Identified, Pose No Threat"
Police have identified the men who alarmed employees Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Company in Rutherford County last week.

The men showed up at the plant, located just south of Murfreesboro, wanting a tour. When an employee refused, they inquired about wanting to buy some metal.

From a gun plant? Right, sounds like FBI filtering to me.

Their presence sparked an investigation prompting the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to send out emails to gun shops around the state to be on the lookout for them.

According to police, the men are Armenian nationals in the United States legally. Officials said they don't pose any kind of security threat and have no previous criminal records.

Armenians? That might fool the locals but something smells like over done catfish but who knows.

#9 In Tennessee a trailer doesn't have to have a tag. I've run into that a couple of times while going into Virginia with my horse trailer. The guard might not have been able to see the truck tag. And I don't believe you could take down a commercial airliner with a single-shot rifle.

#10 And I don't believe you could take down a commercial airliner with a single-shot rifle.

Not unless you were astronomically lucky and hit something vital. That's assuming what you hit has no backup.
