By giving local police forces tanks, MRAP's, rpg's, and other war munitions, you are giving the government more power over citizens. That is not what this country was founded on and succeeeded on. It succeeded because of individual liberty and freedom to succeed without government intervention.


Which dept. we're getting tanks, RPGs and war munitions? I know of armored vehicle with no weapons attached. What firepower do they have that the average person cannot get. Class III? Non LEOs can still get those. 50 BMG can still be purchased.


NONE THEY WERE ONLY GETTING THE VEHICLES WITH NOWEAPONS AND SOME GOT HELICOPTERS


After you buy a tank, MRAP, or chopper, buying ammo is cheap. It's taxpayer money to burn after all!
