“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.

This is what it means to have limited government. Its not just in Washington. Its here in our American streets. There is no need for our police force to have the fire power to overtake American. Government should fear the people. I do not feel it ids that way.
I guess we’ll just have to fix bayonets, too when cops come to our door.
I’ve got mine too. No big deal.
Because Obama plans on turning the military and police against us civilians eventually.
There is a reason why the military has its equipment and mission and the cops have theirs….they ARE NOT TO BE SIMILAR….
I can! We were never going to have Federal police, but we do! Have you seen what Forest Service, Park Service, BLM “police” are wearing!? They even have canines with them! They have as much fire power as military. I say arm police depts as we are going to have to fight terrorists and possibly our own fed police. It’s all scary.
Guess they will need them to steal our weapons.
Terrorist, they are in our country and attacking uniformed people.☺
