Ia lot of the noise about F&F is coming in the form of conspiracy theories from the NRA
Mainstream news is almost totally ignoring the debacle, so at least one organization is talking about it.
It's not really a conspiracy theory when gun dealers openly say, "Yeah, we knew that buyer was a drug runner but the ATF agent in our back office told us to sell him the guns anyways."
I can see this as nothing but a good thing for a doctor.
I've always wondered why dentists give away toothbrushes. You'd think they would hand out candy after the visit.
what if a terrorist blows up the huge line where people wait to be groped by the tsa?
Then they install another TSA checkpoint outside the airport to protect the one inside.
Funny thing is, they would confiscate your toothpaste, but they'd have to let me through with my gun, since I have to declare and check it in with my baggage at the ticket counter.
Republicans love science as long as it's something they can monetize and doesn't conflict with their social agenda.
Democrats love science as long as it's something they can socialize and control.
(Hey, it's just as much bullshit as your comment.)

I was dropping off some scrap metal for recycling at my local landfill and noticed some awesome hardware sitting in the computer dropoff area. So I tossed a couple of cases and a monitor in the back of my truck. The landfill attendant immediately came over and made me put it all back. They must be getting paid for this stuff as scrap and aren't allowed to let the general public walk off with any of it. Even worse, as a resident, I would have to pay per item to drop off anything. So they're double dipping, too.
It was good stuff. Better computers than anything I own. People throw away nice computers just because they load up with malware.
Same with my company. When someone gets a new laptop, the old one is taken away. Years ago, people used to be able to take home old PCs.
