Weapon War is On—LA Doubles Seattle Missile Launchers

It may be the beginning of a new arms race -- which city can collect the most missile launchers?

Both of these cities were conducting a gun buyback programs. I can't wait to see what they get next.

Of course, Seattle got one, and LA only got two, but you can see where this is headed.

Pictured is one of the LA launchers. Here are the links to both stories.

Those are, I believe, one use and I bet they have already been fired.

The smartest thing I heard about these gun buy backs is that the good equipment is being destroyed and not sold or used! What a waste!

Patty you are right. I also read a related story stating that one of the two from LA was a training madel. Not capabale of being fired ever. But you won't hear about that on NBC.

Exactly Todd, the media is a huge propaganda machine first and foremost.
