| Message | If a nation wishes to buy small arms, such as handguns, to arm its police force, even if the nation is not one of our close allies, should we stop that? That would be doing a disservice to our nation's arms industry, and to the people of that nation. Having a blanket rule is myopic, and will result in problems like this. Surely, it is better to just each individual sale on its own merits. |
