BRIETBART: FEDS BUY TWO BILLION ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION

INFOWARS.com: DHS To Buy 360,000 More Rounds of Hollow Point Ammunition

Dept. of Homeland Security acquires 2700+ MRAPs - "Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles"

Billions (literally) of bullets have been stockpiled. 7,000 Select-fire "Personal Defense Weapons" purchased. Predator drones capable of identifying whether a citizen is armed. 2,700+ 'Mine Resistant Armor Protected" assault vehicles. And a leader with an arrogant indifference for the United States Constitution managing an army of trained enforcers, all of this at her command. Watch this video and then tell me the Department of Homeland security isn't arming themselves for battle right here in the "homeland." Mr.President, who is the DHS planning to go to war against?

Full story here.

"Tell me why you need an assault rifle"

The current mantra of the anti-gun liberals: "Tell me why you need an assault rifle."

Easy answer: Because it's a very well known and recently demonstrated fact that during times of crisis law enforcement will attack innocent civilians, unprovoked and with deadly force. In this case I have every right to return fire.

All it takes is for some unknown bureaucrat to accidentally label you as a "domestic terrorist" or a "threat to Homeland Security" and you'll have the entire law enforcement community working overtime to "bring you to justice," which these days means they'll burn you to death in your own home without due process. 

DHS chooses to ignore the Fourth Amendment under the guise of "national security".

Claiming a "national security" need, non-elected Department of Homeland Security bureaucrats have decided they can ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution and seize the electronic devices of anyone "near" the borders of the United States, without warrant, suspicion or probable cause.

For those that haven't reviewed the Constitution lately, the Fourth Amendment clearly states:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

This decision by DHS is ripe for abuse:

• The Department of Homeland Security’s civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation’s borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever — all in the name of national security.
• The DHS, which secures the nation’s border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a “Civil Liberties Impact Assessment” of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices “within 120 days.” More than three years later, the DHS office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published a two-page executive summary of its findings.
• “We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits,” the executive summary said.

What next then? After it's established that anyone near the border is open to unwarranted search and seizure, expect Napolitano's "Homeland Suppression Army" to be able to search your home anywhere in the United States at will, and seize your assets and belongings as she deems necessary to the needs of "national security."  It would appear that President Obama is not only allowing, but actually encouraging, non-elected, appointed bureaucrats to simply ignore the highest law of the land, the United States Constitution, and do what ever they deem necessary to intimidate the citizens of the United States.
