Last year we saw colleges beginning to acquire MRAP vehicles. Now, according to Bloomberg, the United States Army is giving away 13,000 military grade armored trucks for free, which tax payers purchased for $500,000 each. The 20-ton MRAPs, or Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected trucks, were built with the intention to save U.S. soldiers from roadside bombs during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

These Military grade vehicles are to patrol U.S. city streets. Are they to direct traffic? What is the purpose of these vehicles on American soil? Did Department of Homeland Security not already purchase 2,727 armored vehicles for American streets? Why do we need 13,000 more?

Hydrocarbon-Cocktails still work wonders against those things!
And so do several other Devices!

yea, well... are they needed on our streets?

The Government is far too large, too powerful, and too expensive; one needs to take a chainsaw to the size, power and scope of the Federal Government a few times over.
Better to take too much power away from the Government, and fix it later, then to not cut enough.

i agree, but i don't think the liberals agree with it....

Not about tanks in the streets, but this is a BIG problem.... and only one location!

GOVERNMENT CHEMIST TAMPERED WITH 40,000 CASES, LOCKING COUNTLESS INNOCENT AMERICANS IN PRISON

The worst part is..... do you know how hard it is to get a DA to reverse a finding even with new evidence?

Most definitely NOT!

We just sent a huge number of M1A1 Abrams tanks (top of the line) to Egypt. Many came rolling by my home on rail to the shipyards for transport.

The point is that the government doesn't have good sense and money is no object. Instead of pickling the vehicles in the desert for possible later need, they just make them "go away" so they can buy more.

Keep in mind that ex-generals become purchasing agents for big military suppliers.

I would rather the tanks and armored vehicles roll around my Texas neighborhood than Egypt. I bet they would be great for pulling the flooded cars out of the water.

Wonder how many Connecticut will get to do all those gun raids?

Yes and start at home, one county at a time. The only effective way to get a handle on this. In fact start with the sheriff, the most important constitutional officer in the county.

Should not be a problem in this case as now every conviction that used evidence provided by this person will be automatically be eligible for appeal. All 40,000 of them.

Right mightymoe!!!!

The people of this country are waking up. It will get worse before it gets better.
I myself am at the topping point. Not me and my selfishness. No, every time I am with my daughter. I worry that she will be in a controlled Democratic state. That is why, in a few months on her 5th birthday she will get a . 22 rifle. And I will begin to teach her about her rights. I don't think its being done at school people. Take the responsible action and teach them what is important.

Hey if it wasn't for the horrible gas mileage, I could use one the way people around here drive. Wouldn't they be ding resistant?

This should be enlightening to many as to the train of thought of some law enforcement.

This is a conversation by a concerned Connecticut citizen to Lt. Vance (of Sandy Hook fame) about the new law passed and ignored by the majority of citizens in the state.

Listen to his comments to her! He calls her "anti-American" then states "It's not your affair what I do or don't do!" and then declares "I do not want to talk about the Constitution at all!" then in closing states he is NOT the servant of the people, but their MASTER!

Clinton knew that something had to give when he signed that abomination called Gunfree-Zones into Law,and so did the Democrats.

Waiting periods are only a step.
Registration is only a step.
The prohibition of private firearms is the goal.

think Waco-Janet was joking?

The Obozo liberals will ...... until they come for them, and like in Hitlers Germany, there will be nobody willing to listen, too afraid of their own shadows and even their own children indoctrinated under the "common core" principals of "always obey authority"!

you know,for years I tried to define what Government really is,until I came across this!

"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine?

To me it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out.
You'd have nothing then but your voice your voice and your thought.
You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth.
And you'd see living eyes watching you and you'd know that the thing can't hear you, that it can't be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it's breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own.
That's horror.
Well, that's what's hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own."

Steven Mallory, The Fountainhead

This is one of the jokers that has made a mockery of this nation. They are the ones that need to be curtailed.

Recovering these united States, one county at a time.
