Ron Paul: Don’t Increase the US Government’s Flow of Military Weapons to Police

Interviewed Wednesday at Fox Business by host Kennedy, libertarian communicator and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul praised former President Barack Obama for placing some restraints on the United States government transferring military weapons to local police and criticized the potential action by President Donald Trump to resume the full flow of military weapons. Says Paul, “this combination of the federal government and the military providing the weapons for local police, that’s a long way from what the Founders intended or the Constitution says; they’re not supposed to be involved in this.”

  1. It finalizes and legitimizes war against americans by americans in america.
    Nothing changed but the descriptions. and encourages private militias to declare war on anybody. There’s a lot of cross-membership in extremist societies and they all routinely recruit veterans and cops. The entire concept of “united” was never attained nor was there a lot of trying to not be a conglomerate of hate groups.
