Why - to give the vehicles more maneuver room so they will have a better chance against you?
Ask anyone who has ever crewed in an armored vehicle if they'd rather maneuver in wide-open spaces (against an opponent lacking heavy weapons) or in city streets, surrounded by tall buildings that channel their movements and restrict their ability to communicate?
More importantly, does anyone know if a Lahti L39 is on the C&R list? Just Kidding,
So what, exactly, is the justification for these things?
I say that because DHS is most likely going to be focused on the cities when they clamp down. Big population centers are a bad place to be during civil unrest. I'd rather be nowhere near the government response, disruption is supplies, and general mayhem.
If these things start rolling through your neighborhood, please feel free to hit me, or another OEF/OIF vet to give you classes on how to defeat the MRAP.

That sounds like information that needs to be anonymously distributed around the intarwebs - just in case of emergency.
Its too late then. Like calsdad said the time to learn is now.

Good luck finding a Lahti or a Solothurn.
But there is a modern day equivalent:
MAG-FED 20MM RIFLE - Anzio Ironworks
If THIS is the vehicle the government is going to use to hold us down... Bring it, these trucks are a joke.
We'll know it's getting real when the Feds roll M1126 Strykers, M2 Bradleys, and M1 Abrams into the city... have to show up the PoPo rocking the MRAP's.

And all my friends wonder why I haven't lived more than 250 yards from the ocean for the last 30 years.....Garandman can star in the 2016 remake of "Escape From New York" - except this time it will be Boston.
Funny thing is, when I was an infantryman, all I was scared of was tanks, even though our anti-armor class began with "Hunting tanks if fun - and easy too!"If these things start rolling through your neighborhood, please feel free to hit me, or another OEF/OIF vet to give you classes on how to defeat the MRAP.
I saw a report on a Stryker than got rolled over a number of times - the IED that went off was something like five daisy-chained 152mm artillery rounds.Might be something someone should work on in their spare time, but look at it like this. These things had a SHORT life in Afghanistan and Iraq... Because a bunch of goat herders with fertilizer were destroying them off the road, ambushing troops as they came out the back, or making the terrain completely impassible. When they start fielding Courgar A2's... Then you should worry, but I've even seen those things get thrown through the air like children's toys.
Most strykers are flat bottomed... Little bit of boom goes a long way. Soldiers in Stryker brigades call them Kevlar Coffins. Bradleys and M1's however.... Game changers.
I still want an M2. Group buy?
controlled missles reaching up to 3200 yards?
Can people on NES be trusted with that? They have a hard time reaching a jeep 50 yards away.
I have a raging boner, I hope it's all about the rifle, not the dude
that's a DD for us peons, right? ... or may be a BP equivalent?
That's Okay.
When this once-great Nation is back under the control of Its Rightful Leaders,
we are going to need offroad vehicles to compete in swampbuggy races...
The more the government spends - in paranoid fear of their own populace - the closer to bankruptcy they get. When it finally comes they won't even be able to afford putting gas in those damn things. But just the fact that our government thinks it needs such equipment for domestic policing is really something that should cause us all pause.
Seriously, this is making the most level-headed reach for a tin foil hat.
What reason could DHS possibly need 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo and now tanks other than to use against it's own people for domestic policing?
