Isn't amazing? The parallels of blind obedience mirror that not seen since Nazi Germany. The left would be apoplectic if such measures, as instituted by Obama, happened in a republican administration.
I wonder why Homeland Security, the Obama admin, and the TSA will not answer any questions about their ammo stockpiles and their armor acquisition? What the hell are they hiding? Is this no longer America, where our politicians are supposed to be accountable to the public?
Well when the director of the FBI couldn't answer a congressor when the asked him if US citizens should be targeted for death on US soil you know something isn't right. One can dismiss one thing here and there but you add them all up and it smells like sheet. Got choppers fling over Miami doing training strafing runs, drones with apparenlty authorit to kill, DHS and their ammo and armour etc. I don't think the left will raise a wimper until their door is being bashed in by the jackboot thugs and they will just dial 911 not even realizing that the 911 boys are the ones doing the bashing.
So, you believe the DHS has 2700 vehicles? Or are you some stinkin' liberal?
I didn't realize I had to buy into every crackpot alex jones conspiracy or be labeled and obama lover.
Get a grip.
Why are you fixated on the number 2700 when there is more than enough evidence out there to suggest that the USG is preparing for something that doesn't involve a foreign war. I believe it is you that needs to release yourself from the "grip' of naivete.

Where did that number of 2700 come from? The linked article in the OP that is where.
There is zero evidence that the DHS has acquired 2700 MRAPs.

They've been using them for "years" according to this...........unless the official spokesman is a liar like Obama.
The Department of Homeland Security is using 16 military-style, mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles for use during "high-risk warrants," according to an official spokesman. The MRAP, as it's known in the U.S. military, was fielded in 2007 to counter the threat of devastating roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The MRAPs were transferred to DHS from the Department of Defense, free of charge. But despite recent reports, they have actually been in service since at least 2008.
"The MRAPs we have are not new," Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for DHS, told Business Insider. "We have been using them for years."
“ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) currently utilizes 16 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles nationwide in the course of criminal investigations. These MRAPs, obtained in 2008, are used by HSI special agents under hazardous conditions, such as the execution of criminal search or arrest warrants for known drug trafficking organizations,” ICE spokesperson, Ross Feinstein, told Homeland Security Today.
“Additionally,” Feinstein said, “US Customs and Border Protection utilizes 16 MRAPs in border operations.”
All 32 MRAPs “operated by HSI and CBP were provided free of charge from the Department of Defense” in 2008, Feinstein said.
32 MRAPs is a far cry from 2700.
There is zero evidence that DHS has acquired 2700 MRAPs.
What's the point of using 30,000 drones for air surveillance if you don't have armored vehicles for the assault on the ground ?
Seems they compliment each other.
Gotta have boots on the ground. Especially after everybody registers their guns so the government knows where to go get em from.
