A fiscally responsible approach is to SELL them to private citizens at whatever price the market will bear. Six months of part-time standing around isn't

I daresay that most of the "taxpayers who paid for them" who would receive these weapons have already received more in various public subsidies than they have ever paid in taxes...or do you really think that $6,000,000,000,000 national debt is just a bookkeeping error?

What I can guarantee you is that the vast majority of citizens out there would freeze under fire, even after getting a few hours of "teraining" from Marines and Special Forces NCOs (who Mr. Head believes, I presume, aren't doing anything important--like, oh, fighting a war, for example).

You really ought to try reading the whole thing before you shoot your mouth off Pooh.

It says "former" as in retired, volunteer NCO's.

This would relieve any active duty participation whatsoever. Your shot is way off the mark.

I didn't know that you were in favor of dis-arming citizens, Poobah.

It's hard for me to believe that ANY Freeper would be an advocate of violating the 2nd Amendment.
