I think it is a message to pro-2nd amendment Americans. We have the resources to challenge you!

Problem is.....we ain't skeered. Just pisses us off.

There are 80 to 90 million gun owners in America. The odds are with Joe-six-pack.

Or maybe it's a routine exercise that has been happening for over a decade, designed to help US military forces work in heavily built up areas because most of the world's population lives along the seas and littoral areas.

The Marine Corps ROUTINELY does these types of ops. I was involved in ones in LA, San Diego, Ventura County CA, New Orleans, and Rockville, NC.

Nothing to see here.

Saw a V-22 Osprey do a touch and go in Richmond VA 2 years ago in a clearing behind the “hood”!

Is the military prepared for the fall out if during one of those unarmed but shooting blanks exercises, some crazy MF’er takes out one of those gunships with a stinger. Hence the anal pucker factor 9 experienced by the military when someone turned in an empty missile launcher during that buy back out west the other day!

So that’s where this came from!

I see it the other way around.

Some helicopter dude is going to see a Stinger launcher tube pointing at him - he won't know it's empty - and will skip the blanks when he fires back....

I heard some of it from Ft. Lauderdale.

Maybe I'm late to the game and have missed something, but I find this stuff troubling. However there have been reported military training events complete with automatic weapon fire in both Houston and then in Miami with neither a pre-warning to the citizens, nor an explanation of purpose afterward.

I try to ignore rumor and internet hype, but after the reports of Obama questioning military commanders about firing on civilians there is an uneasiness growing. Especially when the reporters in the videos think it's no big deal and people interviewed make comments like, "If it keeps the kids safe, I'm all for it."

What the hell is going on here, REALLY?
