We need to open mulitiple fronts. One is for Congress to begin the devolution of this government by disarming these agencies. What did each agency have for weaponry 5 to 10 years ago. Demand a return for that.
“What did each agency have for weaponry 5 to 10 years ago. Demand a return for that.”
The local 24 hour news channel ran a segment on our police getting more money for buying weapons. In addition to other stuff, the police are buying 45 new rifles because “they are often outgunned by the criminals”.
The odd thing was the news channel made no mention of the kind & caliber of weapons the criminals were using to outgun the police. Nor, did they mention the kind & caliber of rifles the police are purchasing.
What the news did do...they flashed up pictures of SWAT-looking police walking around with AR-15 type rifles (AND, I bet you they were automatic weapons...not semi-auto)...even displaying a picture of a lovely looking MRAP type vehicle.
The first question I screamed at the TV...”What kind of weapons are the bad guys using to outgun the police?” The next question was...”What are the police buying?”
None of these “details” seemed to interest the “news” channel, and we’re not divulged in their “reporting”.
If our local police are ALREADY walking around with M4/M16’s and driving MRAP type vehicles...what in the world are the bad guys using?
