Schatz/Paul Amendment to the 2021 NDAA

[Natural Citizen]

Clever timing on the part of the sponsors.


Anyway...


Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul issued the following statement supporting the amendment offered by Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Rand Paul (R-KY) to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2021. The Schatz-Paul Amendment prevents local police departments from obtaining military weapons like grenade launchers, tanks, and armed drones.

“Arming local police officers with the weapons of war encourages them to act like an occupying force and treat American citizens as enemy combatants. This not only leads to incidents of police violating the rights of American citizens but undermines the very foundations of a free society. Therefore, I am happy that my Campaign for Liberty is working to mobilize grassroots liberty activists in support of the bipartisan Schatz-Paul Amendment prohibiting local police from obtaining offensive military weapons.”

The who oppose the militarization of the police should contact their U.S. Senators and urge them to support the Schatz-Paul Amendment to the NDAA. You can find contact info for your senators here.

Why in the hell would a traffic cop need a tank or grenade launcher?

Here is what will likely happen. I hope I am wrong. Rand will argue for this and when it is defeated he will still vote to pass the NDAA if his vote is needed to pass it.

They are very excellent vehicle stoppers.

Silly me, and here I thought Rand was going to address the provision in the NDAA that says American citizens can be arrested without due process and simply disappear forever so long as they are suspected of terrorism

All Democrats should be suspected. They are terrorists.

There are other types of vehicle stoppers.
