Notes From HPS

It’s difficult to imagine a more torturous and horrifying realization than to know those you love more than life itself are in agony and terror, and are being slain, and there is nothing you can do to prevent their deaths or your own. If there is an approximation of hell on earth, that must be as close as one can get. And that is something those who support politicians who enact citizen disarmament edicts enable.
Only very evil men, or very self righteous pricks, advocate such arrangements in interactions between men.
The thing is, President Obama’s executive order is not a “ban” of police possession and use of such weapons and other gear–at least not in any usual sense of the word. Under the new policy, police departments are completely free to buy the gear in question. What has changed is that they will no longer get the equipment for free, or at rock-bottom prices, courtesy of the U.S. military and other federal government agencies.
Right. And I’ll tell you something else about this ban. It doesn’t speak to federal police agencies. I would just as soon start with the ATF, go to the Federal Protection Police (you didn’t even know they existed, did you?), move to the DHS, and keep going. Then we can focus on local cops.
From Mike Vanderboegh, anecdotes of societal collapse.
So is there any reason to be part of the Boy Scouts any more?
Police cash confiscations still on the rise. Because they apparently don’t care that they are stealing, contrary to God’s commandment.

The Obozo Executive Order is, once again, an example of window dressing. Like the Capt said, it doesn’t prevent them from having the stuff, and, in fact still allows them to get MRAPS and other military items. It also sets up a commission to oversee local police forces…another step towards his goal of “a civilian force just as powerful and well equipped as the military.” When the Feds control the local police, it is a game changer! The danger this guy poses to the country cannot be overstated!

I kind of thought that it was just Kabuki, since 90% of what it said was just to reinforce what was already fact. Denying the police tracked armored vehicles is not a huge problem, especially if they can still get wheeled armored vehicles. In fact, it seems to me that a fairly good number of the departments have decided to go for “crowd funding” via asset forfeiture, so the federal program is not that big a deal anymore, anyway. I was not aware of the provision for the commission, so I guess I will have to do some more research.

Yes…I like Kabuki much better…
