, and it will be broken down most of the time. Eventually (I’d guess about two years from now),

Obama plans on having a NATIONAL POLICE FORCE and says it's to have as many police as are currently in the military - and with as much funding.

YOu think it's an accident that these military weapons are being "given" to police depts. around the country?

The Founders were much afraid of the idea of "standing armies", if you read the Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers. The reason they didn't like standing armies was because the military was used to enforce the will of the King against his subjects in the colonial days. Their ideal was to have the federal government be UNABLE to enforce its will without the active cooperation of state and local authorities

Their ideal was for there to be a militia composed of all the people, which could enforce the laws the people agreed with, and oppose measures that they considered tyranny, and for the government to not have standing, full time forces that could be used to oppress the people.
