Ok, enough name calling for today. Rich you may be mad but its best to be calm. I said the same to VP and others. I am expecting decent discussion from this point onward.
As a 28 year Federal Wildlife Officer, Firearms instructor, Warranted Purchasing Officer and office supervisor it is my "opinion" that the point that a copy of a Purchase Order or Receipt to a Military Unit needs to be shown for the claim that 2500 Buckmasters were ordered by the government is invalid. These orders could be easily placed thru a third party storefront set up to hide the actions of special units. Especially in the 'spook' world of special action units of the period and even more so now. Purchasing paperwork went thru many changes from the early 70's to the 2000's. You would be amazed how slight the requirements were in the regular government to purchase most items. I myself have ordered firearms via the mail with only my signature as proof in the initial purchase, but yes it was on a typed government order form. Documents did follow up with approvals before payment was received by the vendor. Guns were shipped U.S mail with my signature required by the rural mail carrier to hand me the box. So it is my opinion that Rich can claim they were ordered by the use of secondary information when several sources are listed. The burden of proof lies with Buck, as government documents are not available to everyone without legal search intervention (Freedom of Information steps) perhaps even the use of a lawyer. I have no knowledge if that was attempted. But, VP is allowed to state on the forum he feels he needs to see a historical finance document to satisfy his retraction of disagreement of the purchase. Secondary information that is accepted by many as adequate proof, is apparently unacceptable to VP. It is his right to disagree and state his belief here. This is a forum and counterpoint beliefs can be stated on all issues. Attacking a person with a different opinion by catcalls and name calling from either point of view lessens that persons creditability and will not be tolerated.
