Darwin, you've got several points, but it seems they all focus on the money. Money for government entities isn't typically a problem. They'll borrow, print or tax/steal it to finance their dreams. My concern with it is the trend of the citizens facing overwhelming power from the State. See several of the last shootings. . . our representatives say "take away all the guns, they'll kill people".. . . . then a TSA agent gets shot and they want to arm themselves. Every opportunity to get an edge on the monopoly of force. . . it's scary! (no rudeguy i don't wake up in a cold sweat thinking about it!)
when citizens try and protect themselves with force ( during nighttime raids etc ) they try and move it farther! if a citizen responds with force, they spin it to the populace that "the police need more gear, see!". They'd be happy if you'd just comply with their violation of rights. See Larken Rose's "when to shoot a cop" on youtube. I don't agree with everything he says 100% but it's an exersize in free thinking from the indoctrination of the State.
