Just curious but why do cops need tanks, grenade launchers, and bayonets??? Exactly who do they plan on using them on?

Martial law. This is how fascist regimes do things. Welcome to the new 1930s Germany.

Yep.

Signed into law by your boy Bubba in 1997.

Make no mistake the guv will use them on the people if its ever feels threatened enough. Not what you'd expect in the good ole USA, land of the free and all that.

Hate to break it to you but under martial law, the military is in control, not the police. Nice try though.

So can we scared liberals rely on all those gun waving patriots who said the 2nd is to protect the 1st or us that only when we have imaginary issues?

Heck with the cops, I want a 37mm grenade launcher. They're great for fireworks and smoke. Cops can carry 40mm though and regular folks can't. Prisons use them all the time and so do cops when idiots get out of hand in a riot. Great for launching CN and CS gas, bean bags, and rubber rounds.

Grenade launchers are for launching tear gas and other rioter repellent. As for bayonets, can you name a department that requested them?

I think liberals can depend on gun owners to protect themselves.

In a truly free country this Liberal believes the citizens should be better armed than the police. I want to see all of these personal weapons (rifles, pistols, knives, body armor) to be sold to the public at an internet Yard Sale. I would really like to buy a 1911 Colt and a 9mm Beretta for a few bucks each.

To answer the OP. To launch grenades obviously. The important thing is who are they shooting at.
