In another bonehead maneuver, "The Phoenix Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue team has been suspended from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for deploying armed police officers to protect firefighters in violation of the agency's rules." (full story)
Excuse me?
Phoenix's Urban Search and Rescue Team has been instrumental in rescue efforts after some of our country's most difficult moments. They were there after the Oklahoma City bombing. They were in New after 9/11. And they were in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina swept through - while some of New Orleans finest took it upon themselves to loot from the people and properties they were sworn to protect.

Needless to say, Phoenix officials may refuse to deploy the Urban Search and Rescue team to future disasters if they are not allowed to protect themselves adequately.
Besides, doesn't the 2nd Amendment allow us to bear arms to defend against threats to the U.S.? I would think that includes shooting back at the wingnuts who were shooting at rescuers.
