A Washington state senator was arrested at the airport in Hong Kong and charged with possession of an unregistered firearm, his office said.
Sen. Jeff Wilson, R-Longview, was detained at Hong Kong International Airport on Friday night after he found a pistol in his carry-on bag and reported it to customs officials.
He was released on bail Sunday and faces a hearing Oct. 30.
It’s not our crap, if they didn’t source them from here they would and likely do source them elsewhere. That sounds like a customs issue at the Canadian border. You can not use us as a catchall just because we have guns, that’s not how this shit works at all.
US guns make their way to fucking Europe because there’s so many of them that it’s sometimes easier than to source then from markets that are closer than that!
I’m sorry but this is no different than any other smuggling operation, whether it be counterfeit goods, drugs, guns, people. The origin country plays a role, but so do a shit ton of other factors, CA law enforcement and or politicians need to work to find a solution to resolve why it is that these guns are being smuggled, that would be infinitely easier and more effective than hoping the US will suddenly rewrite its constitution to abolish the right to own guns, and then effectively remove them from law abiding citizens as well as our own crime operations. That is a tall order that most people agree is not feasible. You can’t do it in your country with less guns, how the fuck are we suppose to? This is not a US only problem and you pinning it that way is just lazy.
We share the longest continuous land border in the world, pretty much all illegal guns in our country come from your country. I guess we could build a wall and make you guys pay for it, you seem like the kind of guy that likes ideas like that.
Guess you also think Columbia has no responsibility to share for the cocaine that makes its way to the USA and it’s your own problem that you should tackle by yourself, right?
And if your neighbor is noisy, that’s your problem, put more insulation in your walls!
Maybe you should reread what I said. It was good talking with you, I’m over it.
Oh yeah, I read properly, to you it’s not a US problem if your guns make their way to Canada and are used to kill people, I got all of that, don’t worry.
