That is why it is so funny all those people saying their guns are the last
bulwark of freedom.  The military and most local police forces have more and
bigger guns and they are better maintained and they have lots more
ammunition.  Many of those guns in closets have not been cleaned or oiled in
a long time and few have more than a few boxes of old ammunition laying
around.

And I keep trying to draw peoples attention to the fact that we have spent
the last several years training the largest and best equipped urban assault
force in the world.
