“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.

Why not a granade or a missile! Dickhead!
John Davis, because grammar is so much more important than ideas, right? If she had said something you agreed with you wouldn’t have pulled that, grammar notwithstanding.
Just so that those among you who clearly have reading comprehension problems understand, I didn’t say yea or nay regarding the bayohets, just that Rand should have an informed opinion instead of an uninformed, albeit somewhat popular, one. There have sure been some leaps and b******t in this thread.
Simple! they were told that they need them and they are trained to use them,and will use them because they have been conditioned to do as they are told.Why do you think they keep the Max IQ at 104 for entry into a Police Academy?.They shot and killed a 7 yr old setting in a car waiting for his Mother,didn`t they! They shot and killed a young man because he had a bulge in his pants that threatened a cop..it was a Pee Bag,the young man is dead now and that is the very short list of Murders the police commit and are put on Paid Leave for punishment,aka Paid Vacation.
THIS IS BOZO’S FEDERALIZING THE POLICE FORCES LOOK LIKE! TIME TO CHECK YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE SIGNED ONTO BOZO’S ARMY!
Same reason National Guard gets them during civil unrest……..people don’t get in the face of the control line if they know they can get a cold steel injection.
Only if they are needed to get Obama!
Thank u J.T. and Perry Ann.
MAYBE so you can get the point.
Bayonet is very useful in crowd control as you form your formation whatever style (wedge,line etc.)! People will move out of the way of a bayonet better than a nightstick! Makes sense!
