Look at that MF'r drool over his new toys. Rational people are not concerned? WHAT A SICK AND TWISTED PERSON.

this is complete bs these weapons are not for the conventions but for the fema camps to be used on us- there won't be an election- i'm concerned too and i'm rational- that line the man said was foolish- why all these weapons- this is crazy- i can just pray- hope for the best- and fight for my life when the time comes-

I'm a rational person and I am very concerned!! Police forces have become para-military forces. Barney fife got an extreme make over and now he's frickin Rambo! Does that sound irrational? Peace2U!!

Cool and not cool. Cool because the weapons are innovative. Not cool because it sounds like they plan on using them at the Conventions.
