Senate Votes on Paul Amendment to Prevent Sale of F-16s to Egypt | Rand Paul 2016 | U.S. Senate: "I think this is particularly unwise since Egypt is currently governed by a religious zealot, a religious zealot who said recently that ‘Jews were bloodsuckers and descendants of apes and pigs.’ This doesn’t sound like the kind of stable personality we would be sending our most sophisticated weapons to."

Why is it logical to sell such advanced weapons to unstable foreigners but prevent U.S. citizens from owning weapons that are insignificant in power compared to an F-16?
