I wonder if this will affect Barrett's domestic policies?

We will see.  It would not surprise me at all if the Australian owners decide to restrict civilian purchases of Barrett products sold to military and law enforcement entities.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
