That's one definition, evidently many have another definition.
Most would probably call it a tank.

This is getting a little creepy. According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP). (30-35,0000 drones are on order--being built in Starkville, Miss.)

Modern Survival Blog reported: The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.

Although I’ve seen and read several online blurbs about this vehicle of late, I decided to dig slightly deeper and discover more about the vehicle itself.

The new DHS sanctioned ‘Street Sweeper’ (my own slang due to the gun ports) is built by Navistar Defense (NavistarDefense.com), a division within the Navistar organization. Under the Navistar umbrella are several other companies including International Trucks, IC Bus (they make school buses), Monaco RV (recreational vehicles), WorkHorse (they make chassis), MaxxForce (diesel engines), and Navistar Financial (the money arm of the company).

DHS even released a video on their newly purchased MRAPs. LINK AT WEB SITE ---Via Pat Dollard:

The MRAP featured in the video was in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Law Enforcement Day which was held at a local area Target Store. This MRAP is stationed in El Paso, Texas at The Homeland Security Investigations Office. MRAP is a Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicle.

Satisfied with this explanation, Neutral?
Clearing Up Rumors About Government Ammo Purchases
I already posted that site, Colo. It doesn't seem to make any difference to Neut what the truth is.
Yes, I got the link from your post. Since Neutral had not said anything about it, I was afraid that he had missed it. So, I asked him a direct question about it. Thanks for the link.

What do you want Colo? I already answered all I'm going to answer about why they are buying so much ammo.

I just want to know if you are satisfied with the explanation from the two gun groups, one of which is the NRA. A simple yes or no will do. Of course if you don't want to answer a direct question, that is your privilege, but do not ever again criticize anyone else for not answering if you choose not to answer this one. Okay?

I was hoping that we could reach a civil agreement. That's why I asked if it was "okay" with you. How foolish of me to think you might agree to such a civil agreement..

Tank or no tank WTF difference does it make? DHS is buying the ammo and armaments for local police units. Not some big conspiracy as the right wing rags and their suckers like to suggest.

Neut
Seems like eventually you would come to realize the BS for what it is. Pure BS propaganda to incite guys like you into voting for the Koch suckers.

Yes but please tell us whether you thought it was a tank or not.
