If ‘Assault Weapons’ Are Bad…Why Does DHS Want to Buy 7,000 of Them for ‘Personal Defense’?
The Blaze ^

Posted on 01/27/2013 3:53:23 PM PST by mkmensinger

DHS is asking for the 7,000 “select-fire” firearms because they are “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.” The term select-fire means the weapon can be both semi-automatic and automatic. Civilians are prohibited from obtaining these kinds of weapons.

Select fire is the operative term.

For the same reason that the DHS bought 1.6 BBBillion rounds of ammo, enough to have kept US forces fighting in Iraq at the height of the fighting FOR 17 YEARS.

For the same reason Obama built a HUGE whacko bat-cave under the WH.

One of the arguments against Second Amendment ownership of firearms is that it was not intinded for citizens to own military arms. The government is not military so the argument can be made that the guns are equal to goberment purchases.

They need them to spray from the hip large numbers of bullets at Americans- Feinstein knows these weapons inside and out.

Wouldn’t it be nice if every firearms manufacturer in the US refused to sell firearms to the government?

I hope Obastard’s “bat cave” works out for him like Hitler’s bunker did.

The gubmint bought vast quantities of ammo right before something horrific would happen that would trigger huge public demand for ammo.. Almost as if the gubmint knew something big was going to happen that would affect the supply of ammo.

When the collapse comes, the Gov will need these to control the riots that break out.

The rifles are intended as BOXCAR EMBARKEMENT FACILITATORS:

Scared people might otherwise NOT board the boxcars to, uh....”go visit their relatives in the countryside...”

...0bama's CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE...

These are the new Schutz Staffel. They will be the ones coming to your door to take your weapons.

All the Sheriffs across the country can say they won't enforce an unconstitutional law all they want. The Civilian National Security Force are the new SS and there will be many more of them than the Sheriffs can muster.

Department of HOME-land security.

These weapons are not meant to be used against a foreign enemy, they are meant to be used here—in the United States.

They aren’t going to be used to defend our borders against illegals and they are not going to be used against drug dealers.

Partner: these weapons are going to be used against Americans, people like you and me who refuse to bend over and kiss the asses of the gun grabbers.Will they come for us ? damned right they will and they will be armed to the teeth.

Look for these to show up in the hands of Obama’s Brown Shirts.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but if I were, and I saw what was happening, Billion of bullets being bought and machine gun, assault guns being bought by an agency that appeared after 911 and is now in the hands of a Muslim President, who is trying to take my weapons I would start being scared.

Of course I am sure there is a plausible explanation.

Exactly. The Homeland Security Gestapo wants all of the slaves disarmed because without firearms, there can be no real resistance. At the same time, the federal Gestapo is buying up ammo and arming itself to the teeth.

In the near future, the government is going to stage a mass shooting at a TSA checkpoint at an airport. They’ll use the same kind of stooge pumped full of mind control drugs that they used at Sandy Hook. After a TSA shooting, the clamoring for disarming the slaves will grow louder, as will the call to arm the TSA. Once they get that, you will be stopped in the shopping mall by some armed TSA stooge with a high school education, demanding to see your “papers.”

The Republic is dead. Welcome to slavery.

Right. These weapons are being purchased to threaten and use against Americans.

So much for ‘drying up the supply’..

Hey, can anyone explain to me how you can ‘dry up the supply’ WITHOUT CONFISCATING them from innocent folks?
