They are not preparing for "social unrest," though they do want it.

The "social unrest" is just cover for murdering as many of us as possible.

We should have started shooting a long time ago.

I believe it but would like to be proven wrong.................

It’s not just the billions of rounds - it’s also that they are hollow point rounds.

Then there’s also the 2,000+ MRAPs that we recently learned DHS has. What are they for? It’s not like IEDs are a problem over here in the U.S.

I think drones are worth 1M points and blue helmeted state police forces should be worth 1K points. It’s fun for the whole family.

I see rioting as a result of the economic collapse of the US, but primarily in major cities. Those of us in flyover country will get along OK. What I fear is that Obama will use the DHS to implement a gun confiscation and is anticipating armed resistance. I am confident that most local law enforcement and particularly the US military would not open fire on US citizens, but would likely turn their guns on the oppressors in Washington.

"DHS is preparing for “the collapse of our financial system, the collapse of our society and the potential for widespread violence, looting, killing in the streets"

Why ? The folks engaged in murder and mayhem are their own strongest supporters.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

— Barack Obama, 2008

I don’t see why the acquisitions of weapons, armaments, and ammunition for DHS is at all surprising. President Obama said he was going to do this, and Americans elected and re-elected him.

Well, I suppose it is unusual for politician to deliver on a campaign promise.

Fundamental transformation via the democratic process. This is what American voters wanted, and that’s what they’re getting.

To radio talker Mark Levin, the answer is that “our society is unraveling” and DHS is preparing for “the collapse of our financial system, the collapse of our society and the potential for widespread violence, looting, killing in the streets, because that’s what happens when an economy collapses.” Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin agrees, saying, “We’re going to default eventually and that’s why the feds are stockpiling bullets in case of civil unrest.”

What's hilarious is that the Left is smacking Sarah Palin around for suggesting that this ammo being stockpiled by DHS will be used against the American people.

If the Left is saying that DHS WON'T use it on the American people, just who the hell do they think DHS will use it on?

To radio talker Mark Levin, the answer is that “our society is unraveling” They are intentionally unraveling our society.

There, fixed it.

...at least one police chief has publicly announced he wants to arm his drones with tear gas and rubber bullets.

If they pull that crap, citizens are going to start shooting them down. It's just like hunting geese.
