Doesn't he keep telling us that out ARs, and semi auto AK47s, our "weapons of war", have no place being on the streets? Maybe he should take his own advice and stop the programs that have been going on and on and have just gotten worse and more abused.
"Well-regulated" meant well equipped, trained and disciplined... not controlled with an iron fist.

The irony in this is that while BO apparently objects to the non-federal agencies beefing up their armament, nearly every federal agency has some type of tactical/swat team or recently made large purchases of arms or ordnance.

Exactly....can't be giving the means to resist federal authority to any group that hasn't already "sold their soul to the company store".   Funny how the image of police in military type gear disturbs him when called out to confront looters and rioters, but seems appropriate to raid the Gibson guitar factory.  ::)

Sheriff Joe in Arizona has been ordered to return all the military equipment his dept received.  Tanks, helicopters,  rifles, handguns, everything.   

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with sheriff Joe proving Obama was the holder of fictitious birth records phony social security card.
