War on our soil is nearly the exact phrase they used to describe the 1996-1997 ? North Hollywood bank robbery and shooting. LAPD officers were outgunned by the two bad guys so they went to the local and well respected, long in business B&B Gun Sales and bought many more weapons and ammo.
Unfortunately the two bad guys were wearing body armor and gave the LAPD a very bad day, until the bad guys were taken down.
There are some really tough characters out there...and technology has assisted them to gather.....and they do.
Couple this with all the foreigners rolling in on our conveyor belt.....well our police force has had to become Dressed Blue Soldiers.
