Example - I am tired of going to events (football games etc) where I am not allowed to be armed, but swat teams with auto M4s and bullet proof vests are wandering around. Solution? Ban M4s? No, allow everyone to wander around with fully auto M4s. Problem solved.
Bad example, as that is an outcome of the property/venue owner and related parties, not really a government issue, unless the government is making these event permits or whatever contingent upon adding police presence to them.

Considering what is going on at the Southern boarder, ISIS and other things I think it should not be suspended unless you want Fed Homeland goons being the only ones with the gear.

/agree!!I think instead of suspending the weapons transfer, there should be open bidding by any American on this stuff. Police department wants a new armored vehicle with a mounted 30 cal? That's fine, but they'll have to bid against every other person in America who wants one. I think the solutions to problems we face from our government will be found by removing bans, not by instituting new ones.

I keep forgetting, are we at war with Eastasia or Eurasia now?

Same reasoning can be applied to allow non-LEO's to posses full-auto firearms without paying tens of thousands. Remove the NFA restrictions on law abiding citizens.
