“I can’t imagine any use for bayonets in an urban setting,” stated Sen. Rand Paul to Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing last year.
“I can’t answer what a local police force would use a bayonet for,” Alan Estevez said.
Paul snapped back “None”
Rand Paul is completely correct, of course, that there is no need for bayonets in local law enforcement. Bayonets are for hand-to-hand combat in battle and the only purpose is to kill.

I think we should give the Police any & all weapons to protect themselves & the public. I also think Rand Paul is nut.
Chris Stoddard local police and sheriff’s enforce the same laws. I’ve worked for both. While city and town police chiefs are often appointed, they are appointed by mayors and city councils that can be voted out. Some mostly big cities that are run by liberal Democrats have liberal police chiefs but the rank and file officers are overwhelmingly patriotic, conservative and loyal supporters of the Constitution. They do what their job requires them to do and they need sufficient tools to do it. I could give numerous examples of law enforcement being outgunned by criminals. It is utterly ridiculous and illogical to blame police for enforcing laws passed by people that we elect! If you don’t like the laws being enforced, change the laws. Don’t ask the police to NOT do their job!
Never been to some of those low income project in Chicago, Detroit , or New York have you sir.
Only letting people know what to get in their preparations.
How else are you going to bayonet somebody?
Why for when the Civil War comes and they need to start arresting white people and herding them into FEMA camps, of course!
Brian Brad December Militarizing local police was OBAMA’S doing. He plans to convert them, at some point, to his PERSONAL SS, just like$#%&!@*DID. He’s been following$#%&!@*s playbook right down the line–except instead of scapegoating Jews, he scapegoats white people. Other than that, pretty much VERBATIM.
That is to keep the black asses from killing them during riots !!!
For your butt
Brian Brad December We sarcastically refer to ourselves as “infidels” because that’s what the Muzzies call ALL of us who don’t subscribe to their filthy death cult beliefs.
