The insanity of government policies strikes again!

The Indians managed to obtain repeating rifles, primarily from government agents (allegedly for hunting). Then we give our own troops outdated single-shot rifles.

It reminds me of the border and policies governing police departments. Drug dealers, mules, etc have advanced weaponry while our police are constrained by the fear that an innocent person (or even the criminal) might be injured.

Like the US Troops at Little Big Horn, I am shocked that anyone becomes a police officer or border agent, knowing that the Democrats believe that YOU are the real criminals.

Custer's men failed to form up into any kind of defensive positions. The Trapdoor Springfield is capable of killing at ranges far exceeding any repeating rifles or other weapons used by the Sioux. The actual accounts of surviving Indians tell of soldiers being over run in groups of two or three, scattered over a large area not a "last stand scenario" depicted in movies. Poor marksmanship on the part of the Seventh Cavalry was due to the limited amount of ammunition the Army allowed for practice (10 rounds per man per year).

What kind of advanced weapons do drug dealers carry? RPG's?Stingers?Tanks? You have bought into the propaganda of the War on Drugs, lock, stock and barrel. The police of today have become the standing army our nations founders warned us about 220 years ago.
