There is a disturbing trend that is hard to miss. It is one that nobody wants to think about but one that is becoming harder and harder to ignore. When Obama ran for President in 2008 he mentioned that we cannot depend on the military or police to defend us against national security threats. We need a National Security Force just as large an powerful as our military, he said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=gwaAVJITx1Y These days the internet is full of conspiracy theories; some seem a bit over the top, some of the claims seem questionable but underneath it all there is enough verifiable truth to be alarming.
Rand Paul asked the Senate why Federal Bureaucrats need SWAT Teams to enforce just laws?

The Department of Homeland Security is ramping up to fight something but it certainly is not illegal aliens. Who is DHS preparing to fight or defend against and who are they planning to defend?
What kind of warrants will DHS be serving that requires a SWAT Team in an armored vehicle and what is it that must be done that the FBI, State Police and local SWAT Teams cannot handle?
The Federal Government, originally intended to take care of things States could not handle in a way intended to avoid affecting our day to day lives, is now inserting itself into everything we say and do. In other words the Federal Government is, in fact, attempting to control everything about our lives. They want to decide what we eat, what healthcare we get, what we drive and they want to disarm the civilian population while ramping up the ability of every federal agency except the conventional military to handle an armed conflict.
What conflict might that be and who is the threat? If the danger is foreign wouldn't a well armed militia go a long way toward protecting our country from physical invasion or even Jihadists? If the danger were missiles, how would the hand held weapons and crowd control devices they seek help? If they seek to aid US citizens in emergencies or disasters wouldn't field hospitals, doctors, nurses, ambulances, rescue vehicles and vaccines be more important than bullets and armament?
Whatever the plan, “the most transparent administration in history” is not sharing it with us and that is enough to sound an alarm. At this point job one must be to do everything possible to protect our second amendment rights. To that end I would suggest you support theSecond Amendment Foundation which was instrumental in halting the gun confiscations in New Orleans following Katrina and The National Rifle Association which has been our best defense and most powerful advocate for many years. Whatever you do, pretending that nothing is wrong can only lead to disaster.
PS
When considering whether or not you “really need” a semiautomatic personal defense weapon (assault riffle), think about whom you might have to defend yourself from. If you think you will need to defend yourself against someone who has one, you need one!
