Illegal Arms Shipment Seized En Route to U.S. foxnews.com From the article: "A Turkish ship headed for New York — and stuffed with thousands of AK-47s (search) and other Kalashnikov assault rifles — was seized en route in Italy, authorities said Tuesday. The ship's deadly hoard of more than 7,500 terrorist-grade rifles and machine guns worth more than $6 million was discovered illegally hidden under piles of properly labeled arms in several massive cargo containers, Italian officials said." <================================> My question is: For whom in the US were those 7,500 weapons intended? This should change the minds of those who want to weaken the Patriot Act, and instead strengthen it.
