Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that the Obama administration is re-thinking its opposition to arming the Syrian rebels, as officials weigh a range of options in the wake of findings that chemical weapons were likely used in the country’s civil war.
“Arming the rebels — that’s an option,” Hagel said at a Pentagon news conference.

Obama thinks that guns are needed to defend against tyranny – but not when he is the tyrant.
I don’t get it – support rebels to overthrow current regimes in favour of totalitarian Muslim regimes ??
Are they insane ?
Yes. It is a precondition of leftism.
Me guesses he will have to sequester something else on you good folks down there to make this happen.
Yes, They Are Coming For People’s Guns in California
The state will send dozens of new agents into California neighborhoods this summer to confiscate nearly 40,000 handguns and assault rifles from people barred by law from owning firearms, officials said Wednesday.
The plan received the green light Wednesday, when Gov.Jerry Brown signed legislation providing $24 million to clear the backlog of weapons known to be in the hands of about 20,000 people who acquired them legally. They were later disqualified because of criminal convictions, restraining orders or serious mental illness…..
“This bipartisan bill makes our communities safer by giving law enforcement the resources they need to get guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous individuals,” said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor.
“Potentially dangerous.” We are now confiscating property and denying core constitutional rights based on potential.

“SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Brown administration told a federal court Thursday night that to further reduce inmate prison population the Legislature would have to agree to dramatically restructure the laws governing California’s corrections system.
The 46-page report, filed at the direction of a specially convened three-judge court, warned that continuing to slash the inmate population, even if lawmakers would go along, would put dangerous prisoners on the streets and further burden county jails and other local services already swamped by Gov. Jerry Brown’s realignment program.”
