- It worries me.
-
- Yesterday, I attempted to purchase an
Israeli gas mask from my local milita amry surplus store. I had bought
one several weeks ago, but wished to get anoth er for my significant other.
-
- I was shocked to learn that the federal
government has banned the import of these safety devices. Did you know
that?
-
- My local supplier said it was because
meth labs were using them. Yeah, right.
-
- I understood it to be a local issue.
No problem. I hopped on the web to find a supplier in a less paranoid
area, but was told that the feds considered them "war materials"
and were prohibiting their import nationally.
-
- According to a surplus website, the United
Nations considers these masks to be "articles of war" and is
pressuring the State Department to deny their importation. Of course,
the U.S. State Department rolls right over.
-
- Now, I recall reading government press
releases stating that terrorist attacks, possibly chemical/gas, were inevitable
on U.S. soil in the next few years. Then why is our government denying
Americans protection? Israel issues masks to every citizen!
-
- If such terrorist attacks are likely,
why is the government afraid that Americans might protect themselves?
What does the U.N. have to do with anything? Why haven't we heard about
this in the press, mainstream or underground? Who can we contact to bitch??
-
- Who's responsible for this? Does anyone
know?
-
- Ira J. Madsen Springfield, Mo
-
- P.S. - Incidentally, I DID find a source
for the Israeli masks and filters:
-
- http://www.go-armynavy.com/ It sounded
like they had a good supply...but there won't be any more when they're
gone!
