Obama executive order limits police use of military equipment.

<< < (2/3) > >>

depserv:
Obama and his ilk will disarm and downgrade the arms of the good guys to the greatest extent they can.  This latest edict is small and doesn't seem like a big deal, but big things often come in baby steps.  When you look at other things, like leaders of the liberal cult calling for greater federal power over the police, you have to wonder if at some point these steps will all make sense, like chess pieces having been moved into position.  Or maybe it's just what one would expect from a president who has no respect for American law, and who sees criminals as victims of it.

When Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, the corrupt government disarmed the good guys and then stood by and did nothing while mobs robbed and murdered them.  There's a good explanation of this in the book Death by Gun Control, by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.  I have no doubt Obama and many of his followers would love to do something like that in America.  But they lack the power.  Some of the recent riots we've seen are mild versions of that though.  And there might be more of them.

Let's see ... the locals can't have the "good stuff" but the feds can ....  What could possibly go wrong?

There can't be anything good about this president making executive orders, regardless of the topic.

50 caliber is the large caliber mentioned

I have no love for bam bam whatsoever.  I think militarized police units are a waste of taxpayer money.

However:  The headline is misleading.

The won actually worked within the framework of his powers to limit the giving away of excess / surplus military equipment to local PD.

He cannot and did not do anything to limit local PD from obtaining or using said equipment in other ways.

However, as always, be wary of the resident's intentions.

This is where I am at. It is as simple as "knee-jerk" reaction to people problems, or a greater plan? Seems one minute a "gun control" (Now is the Time) executive action provides for lavish police funding, and the next minute things are being taken away.
