Government Arms Race Kicks into High Gear as DHS Buys 2,700 Armored Vehicles for Streets of America!

• Government arms race kicks into high gear as DHS buys 2,700 armored vehicles for  streets of America!

  When DHS purchased 1.6  billion rounds of ammunition to be used domestically, inside the USA, and I  said this looks like a government agency preparing for war with the American  people, I was told, “That’s crazy. The government would never do  that.”

  When DHS purchased 7,000  full-auto assault rifles to be used inside the United States, calling them  “personal defense weapons” that could be used in urban warfare, I was once again  told I was crazy for suggesting the government was arming up for war with the  American people.

  Now DHS has retrofitted 2,717 “Navistar Defense” armored  vehicles for service on the streets of America. Click here to see pictures and specs for this vehicle from  the manufacturer’s website.

  These vehicles, which people who don’t know  any better might call “light tanks,” are specifically designed to resist mines  and ambush attacks. They use bulletproof windows and are designed to withstand  small arms fire, including smaller-caliber rifles such as .223 Remington.

  The retrofit was completed in May, 2012, and these 2,700+ armored vehicles are  now ready to deploy across the streets of America, reports Modern Survival Blog, the primary source for this  story.

  A domestic arms race
  Importantly, none of these armaments — billions of  bullets, thousands of full-auto assault rifles and thousands of armored assault  vehicles — are being purchased by the Pentagon for use in wars overseas.  Instead, these are being purchased by DHS for use inside the United  States… on the streets of America.
  –
  This is a domestic department of  the federal government that is clearly and unambiguously arming for war  against the American people.
  This war will also involve the use of  armed military drones attacking American citizens, which is exactly why the  Obama administration now claims the legal authority to assassinate  Americans on U.S. soil using militarized drones.
  –
  This is at the same  time the American people are arming up like never before as well. U.S.  ammunition manufacturers are currently producing over one billion rounds per  week. All that ammo is flying off the shelves, with virtually nothing  remaining in stock anywhere.
  –
  Magazine manufacturers like ProMag  Industries are backordered for over a year, and gun manufacturers are anywhere  from 6 months to 18 months behind schedule, desperately trying to keep up with  customer demand that continues to grow. I called Desert Tactical Arms today and confirmed their guns are  running six months behind schedule. This is the company that makes the portable  .338 Lapua and .50 BMG rifles favored by U.S. troops in activities such as  so-called “hard target interdiction.” (i.e. killing vehicles.)
