Disband or disarm the Department of Homeland Security

People ask why many of us want to own an assault weapon.
I ask, "Why is the government creating an internal army?" We have the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Border Patrol, Customs Agents, National Guard, Capitol Police, State Police, Local Police, DEA, ATF, NSA, FBI and CIA. We're even arming Social Security agents, for God's sake.
Now, we create, build and arm the Department of Homeland Security.
Why the heck do we need an internal army? Who are they supposed to be preparing to attack or defend? Why do they need 2,700 light-armored tanks, more than 1,600 assault weapons and 1.6 billion bullets?
Again, are we being invaded? Anyone study history? How do you think the Gestapo, the Nazi S.S., the Soviet KGB, the East German Stasi and hundreds of other "internal" secret police that controlled their people in other countries got started?
We do not need the Department of Homeland Security. Its design and intent is to spy on and control the people under the guise of a terrorist threat. I thought that was the job of the FBI and CIA?
The Department of Homeland Security declared veterans returning from combat a potential threat. Homeland Security has a "pre-terrorist" organization list. Any person or group “(who) believes that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack” is declared by them as "right-wing extremists!"
So, Homeland Security is now defining how they think you should act as a citizen.
Question your government and you are a threat. Didn't the Nazis and Communists do the same in their countries before and after they took over?
I and many others question our government, which is still our constitutional right. I'm neither left nor right wing. I'm a veteran, a citizen and my Constitution gives me the right to question anything and protect myself. I took an oath to the Constitution and to protect my country from ALL enemies, foreign and domestic.
Homeland Security can and WILL eventually be used against the people if not disbanded or at least disarmed. They don't need guns or tanks to investigate and secure. They can call the police or military like the government tells everyone else to do. The government keeps creating more "control" agencies, funded by OUR tax dollars without OUR input or vote. No one questions this? Why?

Its about time that this information has been printed in a legitimate news media.Why would the United States need an internal army and why are they advertising for jobs at internment centers, what is the governments agenda in regards to their citizens. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, draw your own conclusions.

Food for thought. All local, state and several federal agencies are nothing but a large army of bureaucratic enforcers and violators of our liberties.

News flash, most of the bureaucracies you mentioned above ARE the standing army of today in America. Local and state police, federal agents, you know, those street level bureaucrat thug enforcers. DHS will simply (as they already do now) use the localized assets to do their dirty work down below and DHS will do the worst of it in the middle and up top.
