You have to be paranoid to see a conspiracy in everything under the sun. There is no brown shirt army, there are no concentration camps, there was no re-education programs, the muslims didn't "take over", people were not denied a vote, DOW didn't fall to 1000 points, there was no riots, the evil city people did not attack the farm houses in search of food etc, etc....none of it happened. People cook up a conspiracy out of everything, and yes, you'd have to be a paranoid person to think like that.

As for the poster above who stated that every one of the 250,000 employees must qualify...well thats just laughable.

oh...how is it laughable

DHS...250k personell in the following subbranches
U.S. Secret Service
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
National Protection and Programs Directorate
Transportation Security Administration
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
Federal Emergency Management Agency
U.S. Coast Guard

everyone of those branches REQUIRE their employees to qualify with a weapon.....and many require them to CARRY

the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) alone has 60,000 employees and 90% of them CARRY

the secret service...5000 employes and EVERYONE carries

the coast guard....41k active duty...8k reservists (...all REQUIRED (by REGULATION) to qualify 2x a year)..plus 7k civilian employees, of which many carry



now who is laughable

Thats great advice for people I know also. Thanks

They act as though they are in a cult and obama is their leader.

I'm just apathetic. I acknowledge there's always the chance our government could become tyrannical. I just think the chance is minute and question what could really be done about it if it did happen. Therefore I don't see the point in concerning myself with what I view as a waste of time.

I dont believe thats the case. All my life I have heard they are coming and nothing yet.

The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest....A solicitation posted yesterday asks for 10 million pistol cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds) and 10 million 9mm 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds).

Funny its not reported on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC or the New York Times. All ammo manufactures should just refuse to sell the government.
