"part of a quiet effort by the Clinton administration to develop more effective ways to combat gun crime despite a political impasse in Congress and several state legislatures over new gun control bills." - That statement tells me all I need to know about the real motivation of the Socialists with this waste of $20 million. This is nothing more than yet another public relations stunt by the Clintonistas to convince a largely ignorant public that something needs to be done to control guns in order to reduce crime; and, since some of those nasty Republicans keep getting in the way, we are going to do something to protect you from those nasty gun owners.
I'm telling you folks, I just can't wait 'till these Socialist are out of the White House! The notion that Glock would buy into this program is, to me, revealing. Did we really think that the Austrians care about our RKBA?
