But APCs or Bradly fighting vehicles, maybe TOW missiles or other battlefields weapons?

Because eventually, the bonus "war on terror" is going to take place on US soil. You can only murder and bomb so many people before that shit eventually comes back to bite you in the ass in every way, shape or form it can. Home grown jihadist who can inflict real damage is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
It's also for the day when/if US citizens decide they want to go the way of Syria, Egypt, Libya, or any other country where the masses have nothing else to lose and everything to gain. I don't personally think such a thing is ever going to happen in the USA, but anything is possible and the government / states will be ready for it if it does. In the meantime, they will slowly disarm the people, one type of weapon at a time.
