Hey Jack

There is a lot of vehicles there that with a fair few years of saving one might be able to take home, me personally would love the T-55 :P unless I change career and become a banker it's never gonna happen... :(

How many cops does it take to stop a tank? :haha: Seriously though a tank isn't gonna be "street legal" I don't think. However here in the U.S. it is against the constitution for the ARMY to be used against any of its citizens but don't ask any of the Branch Davidians. ;) I think its cool that you can buy these things and they STILL WORK! All you gotta do is find ammo! :haha:

Federal Leo's driving Abrams & Bradley's on loan from the Army. If an FBI agent driving an MBT isn't considered part of the Army nothing is.

As far as cops stopping a tank....

I think it's totally illegal to import tanks into the U.S. anymore from just a few years ago. Even deactivated I think there is no legal way. This isn't known to be a fact but I've heard those from tank owners.

Problem being no one asked WE THE PEOPLE how we felt, or if we approved. As for the cops, well copwatch has a point of view many are tuning into. I just know ,and believe this Nation can and will turn around,call me stupid but I simply believe the American people will tolerate so much before they step in someones ass and demand an end to stupid. But hey I just turned 51 and still remember the madness here in 1968,National Guard deployed in Memphis twice in my life. the last time I was 15 and these guys were serious,get your ass home at 10 pm or else!

The first time I was 5 and only remember because of my dad being involved where he worked.And the terrible smell as no trash was picked up. Then the murder of Fr.King set the city off into madness at night. Ferguson will be another burning city soon, like L.A. IN 1992
