Not new at all, it happened under G.W. Bush, Clinton, G.H. Bush, and Reagan, and probably earlier. The Secret Service probably wishes they could disarm the cops as well...

I think it's from the White House poll on the gun free zone around the president. He took our advice.

When we went to Panama on a charter flight they made us take our bolt carriers out "just in case".
Then they told them to put the bolt carrier in our top left BDU shirt pocket. Everybody promptly put them back in the rifles so they wouldn't get lost. 
The .gov is retarded. |

I find it hilariously ironic that part of the oath is to "defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic", and therefore the Secret Service finds it necessary to disarm the people who took that oath. It's like they're acknowledging that he is indeed a threat to the constitution.

They just straight up took our rifles away in Afghanistan when Obama came to visit us. It's not a new thing. They also wouldn't let us leave until he left, and that took almost three hours.
See all the weapons around GWB when he went to visit Iraq?

Some cops were disarmed. Our Honor Guard was in the parade. We had toy rifles and empty sidearms. Total BS, I can be armed almost everywhere else in that town...and have been; even on the Capitol lawn when he was speaking at Law Enforcement Memorial Day, but noooo not in his parade. |

Clinton came to Lejeune while I was stationed there and not one single weapon was allowed out of the armories. Not for he Cpl of the guard or the officer of the day. All barracks had to have their blinds open. I don't hink the MPs were allowed to carry either.

They march and carry arms in symbolic defense of the president.
So what does it symbolize when the arms they carry are intentionally disabled? |

Historically having the military armed around civilian heads of state can end very badly. Just because no ambitious military officers have tried a coup de tat in the US doesn't mean it's impossible.
