American Police Have So Much Gear That They're Sending It To Ukraine | ZeroHedge

American police departments have so much extra tactical gear that they're sending it to Ukraine to help the country's mostly non-professional military fight back against the much more well-equipped Russian military. It's also worth noting that Ukraine's annual defense budget is smaller than that of the NYPD.

Damn! Maybe defunding the police is not the bad idea I thought it was?

@Rickyvol77... Will LEO ignore this or will they obey the law? This will essentially allow local law enforcement to be an extension of the BATF. Not to mention guilty until proven innocent...

Additionally, GOA mentions that according to claims from John Lott, a Second Amendment researcher and economist, 99 percent of NICS denials are false positives, which means that most denied people are not actually prohibited from owning a firearm.

So, the fact that the Government is compelling law enforcement to act upon a system that produces so many false positives is insane. This change to the law treats people who simply want to purchase a firearm and are falsely denied as guilty until proven innocent.

To make matters worse, the act allows the Federal Government to deputize local police and attorneys to act on behalf of the ATF.

I read the law. It’s not that big a deal. It’s literally giving local agencies the power to check on if the background check was correct or not.

A slow creep towards Federalizing local law enforcement. Also sparks a criminal investigation over a potentially erroneous background check being declined or flagged. Borderline 4th Amendment violation.

It’s not a criminal investigation unless the firearm was used in a crime. Read closer. The investigative part otherwise is that if someone is denied they can appeal locally without having to wait on the feds.

Yeah, local law enforcement.

How long before we see a complete blending of local and Federal law enforcement? This is a move in the wrong direction. We should be decentralizing, not allowing Federal agencies to reach further down the ladder.
