Last Monday, US President Barack Obama, journeyed to Camden, N.J. Police Department to shine some light on crime reduction as well as their new community policing tactics that the Obama administration hopes can become a standard around the country. Due to the ridiculous number of recent police shootings aswell as the more clear coming increasing numbers of Immigrant deaths, the administration has finally decided to take action with the idea of a ban-list.
“We’ve seen how militarized gear can sometimes give people a feeling like there’s an occupying force as opposed to a force that’s part of the community that’s protecting them and serving them,” Obama said in Camden Monday. “It can alienate and intimidate local residents and send the wrong message.” the Administration stated.
The idea is to limit what Agencies such as the Defence, Justice and Homeland Security departments can provide to local police stations, even in the event of a riot.
The ban-list consists of; certain types of camouflage uniforms, bayonets, tank-like armoured vehicles that move on tracks (vehicles that don’t move on tracks?), grenade launchers, weaponized aircraft, firearms and ammunition of 50. caliber bullets or higher.

Oh, I don't know.... there might be a domestic use or two for a 20mm cannon mounted on an urban assault vehicle.
They can always borrow some from the public.
