Televangelist Pat Robertson has become the latest prominent conservative to question why the Department of Homeland Security is engaged in an apparent arms build-up, asking if the 1.6 billion bullets purchased by the federal agency will be used against the American people.
Speaking on his CBN broadcast yesterday, Robertson characterized the DHS ammo purchase and its acquisition of armored vehicles as “like something out of science fiction: long trains of full or armored vehicles, personnel carriers with armor.”
“What are they for, the Army going into battle against
the enemy?” asked Robertson. “They’re used by Homeland Security against
us!”
Robertson then quoted Ronald Reagan, “The most fearful
statement in the English language is ‘I’m from the government and I’m
here to help’.”
“Imagine what Homeland Security is doing, it’s just
awful,” he continued. “We’re going to talk about how much ammunition
they’re stockpiling. Who are they going to shoot? Us?”
Robertson’s concern is similar to that expressed by retired United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow, who last week sent a letter to
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) warning that the ammo purchases represent “a
bold threat of war by that agency (DHS), and the Obama administration,
against the citizens of the United States of America.”
