So CNN says they are heavily armed, meaning they carried ‘repeating rifles’ “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines” Oh-noes.

I wonder if the Marines would say they were heavily armed.

50 Cal. (plural)
LAWS
SAWs
Cases of grenades/ M203s

and some tracked vehicles.

NOW we are heavily armed. ;-)

Have you seen the "Reporter's Guide to Firearms" graphic? It gets posted on FR occasionally.

Good Luck to these Marines. I'm wondering if they're there just to make things difficult enough so that the protesters move along to an easier mark.
