"Former Rep. Bob Barr (search), R-Ga., now a civil liberties advocate, said that on a recent visit to a small West Georgia police department, the chief showed off several shiny new M-16 rifles provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (search)."

Oh good. Now I feel safe from all the gang bangers with automatic weapons that roam the streets out here in rural west Georgia.

I wonder if the police will use their own ammo shooting those M-16's off duty at the chiefs spread while drinking up a few beers. (The chiefs nephew works with me and has a big, braggert mouth.)

The FEMA gives M-16's to local police?

Isn't the FEMA concerned with tornados, earthquakes and stuff like that? For what do they need M-16's?
