In a fanciful daydream of a more perfect world, where the government trusted fully in the competencies and abilities of the well armed populace as the power behind the government, and the reason for it's protection... a concept came to mind...
Cash for Carbines...
Where the populous is systematically armed and trained in weapons' safety. Each tax paying citizen would simply need to go to a gun dealer and request a weapon of their choice, complete with no less than 1000 rounds of appropriate ammunition. Prior to closing the sale, the purchaser would be required to complete and pass a weapons safety course and appropriate background checks, of course.
What better way to gaily spend tax dollars... what... you want to use it to buy everyone's trashed cars instead...???...
Where is THAT in the constitution?
Hmmm -
"being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed"
Seems more reasonable that if the government was to go on a spending spree, it would be more lawful to do so with regards to weapons... not cars...
Oh... Sorry... I forgot... the idea is to drain the already bankrupted treasury, turn the nation upside down with debt, and then snatch the last vestiges of freedom from us by way of the "private army".
Haven't heard of Obama's Private Army? His Praetorian Guard, his political police.
Maybe it is a good thing that the freedom loving Americans in this country took it upon themselves to self fund their own Carbines program. Turns out we may need it more than we can ever imagine!
