The FDA is stockpiling military weapons — and it’s not alone

In California, Governor "Moonbeam" Brown just signed several anti-gun measures into law ... including one law that bans the posession of any ammunition magazines in excess of 10 rounds. Meanwhile, obscure alphabet soup agencies at all levels of government seem to be arming up for the Apocalypse ...

Totals a little more than I spent but working on it. :)

I think I heard that they must be turned in as well. Kinda like d.c. where you can’t possess one. Well, unless you’re some special tv brain dead urinalist. Then you can do whatever you want.

Liquid explosives?!?!? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Why does ANY non-military agency need liquid explosives?

Someone mentioned maybe these weapons are NOT going where the government said they are going...Maybe they are going overseas...

[George Washington Axe]

Well I guess I need to stockpile some more more too..... let the arms races begin

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

The Food and Drug Administration? I give up, why does the FDA require firearms?

My need for weaponry isn't nearly as extensive as that of unelected bureaucrats nominally charged with food and pharmaceutical safety - I just have the one gun and have no intention of giving it up.

I wonder how many will actually turn their magazines that hold over 10 rounds. States have passed laws requiring all “assault weapons” to be registered with the state. The estimated compliance is less than 10%.

[DogByte6RER]

Well ... from glancing at their home page they must have a “need” to tactically implode chimpanzees, bears, tiger cubs, feral swine and an assortment of botanical products and seeds, as well as pets being examined by the local veterinarian.

Wow. Sure sounds like it.

I don’t agree with John on all his interpretations and I wish he hadn’t mentioned Francis (he may not

have seen all his stuff). But this is kinda interesting.

Skip ahead to 2:55 to start - I like that they showed Obama with “New World Order” as the news caption.

I think they are all being sent to Hawaii. Isn’t the Aloha Snackbar in Hawaii?

[Yaelle]

This is insane.

We need to tell the President that as long as bureaucratic agencies are stockpiling weapons and explosives like ISIS, they should not attempt to take away one gun from the People.

At this point, our Constitution was more valuable when it was still attached to the sheep.

THIS MUST STOP. We are heading toward something worse than Nazi Germany and we are giving up our Gd given rights!

[Vinnie]

On one hand it’s alarming,. I want to know why.
but
I have a hard time believing an agriculture inspector, IRS lawyer or the like , with a wife, 3 kids, home in the ‘burbs is going to risk his life enforcing. Something he never signed up for.

This is the first year I shall not put a flag out on July 4th.

[School of Rational Thought]

Nice muzzle control.

The one just to the left of emblem on vehicle appears to be pointing his weapon at the head of his compatriot (the one with his finger on the trigger).

[Redcitizen]

Snort. Haha!!! :)

[Redcitizen]

Put out the “ don’t tread on me flag instead”. It’s more appropriate.
