Invert the demand for Gun Control - our out of control pre-police state!

Mayberry SWAT
Drive through the suburban towns outside of our cities. In many of these burgs, local police are now sporting black paratrooper type pants tucked into paratrooper boots, special forces style shirts and caps, helmets, M-16 rifles in their vehicles (now over-sized SUV's) and K-9 units. Why? Are they just "me-too" bureaucrats filling their annual inflated budgets with over-the-top 'goodies' to match or out-do the next town over? Or are  we witnessing something more sinister in its embryonic stages? m/r 

And Your Little Dog, Too - Deroy Murdock - National Review Online
FEBRUARY 11, 2013 
It’s time to control government’s guns, to protect humans . . . and canines.

As Washington politicians aim to restrict the Second Amendment, they should look in the mirror. The time to control government’s guns is now. Overarmed federal officials increasingly employ military tactics as a first resort in routine law enforcement. From food-safety cases to mundane financial matters, battle-ready public employees are turning America into the United States of SWAT.
FBI agents and U.S. marshals understandably are well fortified, given their frequent run-ins with ruthless bad guys. However — as my old friend and fellow columnist Quin Hillyer notes — armed officers, if not Special Weapons and Tactics crews, populate these federal agencies: the National Park Service; the Postal Inspection Service; the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Labor, and Veterans Affairs; the Bureaus of Land Management and Indian Affairs; the Environmental Protection Agency; and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Even Small Business Administration and Railroad Retirement Board staffers pack heat!
These “ninja bureaucrats,” as Hillyer calls them, run rampant. They, and often their local-government counterparts, deploy weapons against harmless, frequently innocent, Americans who typically are accused of non-violent civil or administrative violations. 
[Here is a partial list of some of the bureaucrat's SWAT, not joking, teams]
• An FDA SWAT unit 
• A U.S. Department of Education SWAT force
• Fish and Wildlife
• Drug Enforcement Agency 
• And nearly every "me too" police dept. in the country today! -go to the above link for the full article-
