        @motherjones none of my business, but how can you stop police from being militarised when common citizens are allowed to own assault rifles?

        @Mr_Spock @MotherJones the police are SUPPOSED to be serving the people. So why not reduce the ability to infringe on this fact.

        @motherjones The problem in the US, it seems to me, is a militarised society. Having a militarised police is a direct consequence.

        @motherjones it seems to me that in order to protect citizens, the police needs to be better armed than the average citizen, so?
