“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.

We are talking about the POLICE, not National Guards or US troops.
Otherwise we would mention Kent State, where they fixed bayonets, then fired on unarmed students
Now that’s a question what he’ll are they planning unless they no something we don’t
To get their POINT across to those THUGS that feel that LAWS don’t apply to them…!
To fend off terrorist immigrants
Patrick, while that is true and I will support you with that opinion as I share it, if you have to escalate the force, shouldn’t you have something lethal as that is most likely what your opposition will have? I’m not saying it should be used every time, it’s a back up just like they the other items they have.
its a rhetorical question. and they will never get close enough to use them
