Yeah like all of you guys wouldn't be buying the best, newest and coolest stuff if you could. I can only imagine what kind of things would be in the NES police dept. if we were ever to create the Town of NES.

No argument there - but WHY does that sherriff feel the need for so much firepower? What's he expecting, and why isn't he calling for military support if there's a need for that?My main point in taking an antagonist position in this thread is to drive home the point that no firearm, or other piece of equipment, makes a police department "bad" anymore than a NFA item makes one of us "bad." That's a distinction that I don't see many people getting.
And before you go saying that you or I have no NEED for something, let me point out that we don't have to have a "need" - we're free citizens, purchasing what we want to purchase. The Sherriff's Dept was specifically created to keep the peace... so what they purchase DOES have to be "needed". If there's no need... they shouldn't be purchasing it.My point, even when quoted and lumped in with a response to Dench, remains unchanged. An organization established by citizens to police citizens has no need for an automatic .50 caliber machine gun. It goes against the very principles of the organization. Their job is to deliver warrants and bring criminals to the judicial system, not gun them down with superior firepower.
What NES police dept? I don't know about you, buddy, but if I create an NEStown, there won't be a police dept - citizen militia all the way. Neighborhood watch. Whatever you want to call it when the citizens handle things themselves.Yeah like all of you guys wouldn't be buying the best, newest and coolest stuff if you could.

Hey, all LEO's need to be tacticool - Al Qaeda could be wandering around Shitsville you know...
What no masks! Someone will know who they are. Oh wait, there's only five. Someone will probably figure it out anyway.
LOL - wonder if the dude up front knows Gomer has what looks to be a carbon-15 pointed at his head...[/IMG]

How's he planning for paying for maintenance, training for the users, and practice ammo?
I'm not so sure, Mark... look at the sign behind their heads. I hadn't noticed it before, but it looks like it says "Town of Tazew"-something. Wonder if they carry Tazers...the citizens of Podunkville can rest easy...
Group buy?
Some Russian and British APC's are around. You can buy them for 20k, which is not so bad... I suppose.
Dear Town of Tazewell Police Department:
Your muzzle control is f@cking fabulous.
Sincerely,
RD
