Why is NASA ordering AR15's?

[YALE]

Not a problem. For me to do that, I ask for just one thing from you. Show me the constitutional mandate for them to exist.

Like maybe the National Aeronautics and Space Act?

Not an act, constitutional authority. That document lists everything the federal government is supposed to do. For each branch it lists it's powers and authority and how it is to go about using that authority on what. Now, what article and section may I flip to to find NASA mentioned

Try the Necessary and Proper Clause.

Try the Necessary and Proper Clause.

Nope, try again. That applies only to the en-action of enumerated powers.

"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the [enumerated] Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." (Article I, Section 8, Clause 18)

For carrying into execution the powers and all other powers vested by the Constitution. If the power isn't in the constitution, you cannot create a law or agency to pursue those ends. The Founders were very careful to restrict the government to enumerated powers and then put a check on them by the 10th amendment and ultimately the 2nd.

Now, if the federal government isn't restricted to those powers enumerated in the document, why take the time and write them out?

To confuse you, clearly.

Does the military not guard NASA facilities? I kinda figured they would considering how much all that stuff probably costs. I see no issue in them purchasing a handful of rifles for this issue, seems it would be a bit of a better option than a master lock.

Because NASA likes to party?

TIL if it was up to people like forever frost, the extent of out technological development would be one of those newfangled horseless carriages.

Are you saying all advancements come from government? Henry Ford, government agent?

A vast majority of big advances (finding the new world and space, to name a couple) come from the government initially, then are refined and made profitable by the private sector.

Dude, you post 83 conspiracy articles a day, in addition to your 142 FTP articles. They can't all be winners.

And that's just on this one website.
