It shows you how much barry distrust his own guard. Most D!cKtators are always concerned about others with power.

Yes, they do, or something like it to get the desired result. The rifles in parades are ceremonial, not functional.

They may disable them for drill and march now but they didn't do this for all the Presidents.

I can recall rifles from both the army and navy being inspected at Army/Navy games that president Bush was attending.

During president Carter's inauguration my army unit (82nd airborne) was brought in as guards for inside the fence guard duty. We had our regular M-16's but were not given any ammo. There was live ammo in the basement holding area where we rotated shifts. The main thing I remember was it was freaken cold as hell that day.

And you know this how? Because I know! I know and worked with a few people who use to do Honor Guard Detail. I even know people who did drill with M14's and they were fully functional at all times! Day or night at a minutes notice. Some of the people I know even won awards for doing this type of Honor Guard Detail. They even met people who you read about or see on TV. How do you not know? Yes I know the M14 is a heavy weapon to drill with, about 10lbs loaded.

Your knowledge is second or third hand. Mine is first. This is nothing new. Obama didn't start this, and that is probably why the story is only on a wingtip blog.
