I seriously doubt your nephew used the word "clip." These are called magazines. BTW, you cannot legally get an AK-47 is this country; it is a true assault rifle, which means it can be fired in full automatic mode. Thanks your nephew for me and I wish him well.

My nephew is headed back to Iraq, his second tour. He tells me they would have some Iraqi soldier with them that would knock on a door to a house. The houses are surrounded by cinder block walls in the Middle East. When whoever was inside would shoot at the soldiers knocking on the door, they would call in an air strike on the house. This is a decision the person inside the house did for whoever was in the house. If his parents, children and wife were in the house, he made that decision. He told me we can fight them over in Iraq or we can fight them here if choose not to do it in Iraq. A lot of the people he arrested were not from Iraq. I might add he never arrested a Kurd. He also told me the Iraqis' are allowed one ak-47 and one clip of bullets for self defense in there houses. I guess more than that looks suspicious. Maybe I should get me one.

Sorry, but I disagree. The death of all the children in Waco was also a choice of the parents who died as well, including the followers who were shooting at the fireman which hindered their ability to help with the fire. So I don't feel that the FBI is solely to blame.... choices were made on both sides that in hindsight, may have been the wrong decisions, resulting in a tragedy.
