But a SMALL ARMS trade that has gone on under the radar has made it possible. This is why when PEACE ACTIVISTS take Kerry to task with the "waffle" deal it makes me crazy. For years he had been acting to reduce the available funds to the people who profit MOST off the arms trade...SMALL ARMS manufacturers....go to the gun dungeon here at DU..and LOOK at the support of SMALL ARMS manufacturers...look at the number of people even in THIS forum that support SMALL arms manufacturers.

You can't do anything about a guy with a homemade bomb but you CAN cutt off the ORGANIZED funding of his cause via the blackmarket ARMS trade which is WHY Kerry's bill on offshore banking was a GREAT start.
