And we all see our brave congress critters running out to trim their enforcement powers. /double sarc
So it’s okay for the government, but not okay for the citizen? I am pretty sure the founders had the same gun tech as the military at the time, no?
Here’s a counter proposal
DISARM THEM.
Make them work with local law enforcement authorities (sheriffs) when then need to enforce their edicts.
OOOOOHHHH REALLY.....????
Yes, well you see, sometimes land gets unruly and is hard to manage. At these times, you must have heavy firepower to manage the land.
BLM shouldn’t have anything larger than .22 with snakeshot.
It just amazes me that any government agency can order whatever kind of weapons they want without any kind of oversight. These weapons are to be potentially used against citizens, and the citizens, the free, are the ones restricted or banned outright from owning them at all. Things are a little lopsided in my opinion.
Bad enough the farm feds want them. Many on FR make fun of "conspiracy sites" but instantly believe any garbage posted.
Lets not forget the State Department too on IED (Explosives):
Looks like BLM’s Feudal Lord Reid is planning to mange his person Land with guns, Guns, GUNS!

Marxist Implementation and trauma,
Thanks to Boehner from Obama,
The Welfare Plantation is finally here to stay!
We were warned in 1970 that the Government was pushing for a Federal Police Force.
Now it is here.
Like I was tellin Grandma just yesterday.....its getting harder and harder to Manage this New Generation of Land
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
Kind of worthless. Submachineguns are marginal close-in weapons that either shoot too fast - and recoil strongly, making fellow-on shots go high, or they shoot too slowly and have marginal effectiveness. SMGs are also useless once you are out of loaded magazines.
Military shotguns are much better weapons for the same tactical envelope as the SMG and far more controllable and in most cases, lighter in weight.
Many years ago, I swapped my M-14 for an M-3A1 Greasegun - and I imagined that I was Steve McQueen. Damn thing was heavy and useless in a fight, so I got my M-14 back.
The government entity ordering these weapons either doesn’t really have a mission for them, or they are ordering them for cosmetic reasons. Either way, a waste of our money.
* Obama's Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar, comment on BP back in 2010. Robert Gibbs said the Administration fully approved of the imagery.
I’m of mixed minds for this. One the one hand, I’d prefer 9mm so they don’t eat up all the .40 on the shelves. On the other hand, there’ll be lots of free ammo lying around within a couple years that I can use.
OK, now that every pissant bureaucracy has their own SWAT Team, how long until they get their own nukes?
