Why do Americans need a check before buying a gun but Jihadists in Syria get US millit weapons without a check?

good point, because they are going to kill shia muslims, even they are buying weapons for Free. CIA and U.S. gov are manslayer. and like always U.S. people are watching.

If this is true, I assume it's because the US government prioritizes safety among US citizens moreso than they do for soldiers in a warzone.

And the US government would never work with Jihadists. Those are the militant ones.

Obama is just give empty talk

Obama is not given any weapon to rebels he is enjoin watching the( al-assad regime .Hezbollah and Iran )killing Syrian people from all kind of weapon and air craft

he is not giving any weapon's to any one in Syria just bla bla bla in Tv

It's OK as long as it is Obama running guns to the drug cartels in Mexico or terrorists in the Middel East.

good question. I wonder if Holder did a background check when he sent out those thousands of weapons to Mexico and the drug gangs in the US. doubt it.

Tell you what.

We'll throw you into the middle of a war zone, bullets flying over your head and at your feet, and we'll give you a weapon, for free even.

Deal?

So we don't need " Boots on the ground."
