Apparently the only government department without a military force at its disposal is the military. Mark Stein
When they start worrying about whether they will go home at night is when they will rethink their protocols.
Umm, let me guess. They love the 2nd Amendment.
“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty”......Jefferson (I think)
A really stupid question, Rick.
When push comes to shove (a day I pray will never happen) what will these “armed agents” do when ordered to shoot their fellow Americans?
They have a barrel full of fish to shoot?
Quick answer: They don’t.
To rescue my and Al's ass... that's why!
Gadzooks! You just cannot make this stuff up... can you?
When they come after me, they better bring my duly elected County Sheriff with them...
Because otherwise they are nothing more than armed criminal trespassers.
You know this country is screwed up when the boys from NOAA and U.S. Wildlife have SWAT teams with assault weapons and the Border Patrol carries bean bag guns. I guess we know how this administration feels about Americans when compared to how they feel about illegal invaders.
Well, you never know when someone may try to illegally share a nautical chart download....
My oldest daughter’s best friend from high school is an accountant and works for the IRS. Part of her job is to spend time on the shooting range. She shows up at audits in a suit, armed and wearing body armor.
That’s all I need to know about our government.
Here’s a little bit of history. When Hitler’s SS were asked, after the war, why they did all those horrendous things, their answer? “WE WERE JUST OBEYING ORDERS”. And when these people in the “SWAT TEAM” are arrested, they will say the same thing. “WE WERE FOLLOWING ORDERS”. What we need to do is either do away with all these ALPHABET AGENCIES, or throw the DEPARTMENT HEADS in jail for going against the constitution. Or better yet, throw these people in congress for not stopping them. People, losing our rights doesn’t happen with one fell swoop. It comes a little bit at a time. Just like a “DRIP” of water doesn’t make a hole in a stone, but a constant dripping will eventually put a hole in the stone.
The Army can have guns (Ft. Hood shooting), but the weather people at NOAA can?
Our government is upside down.
For the same reason the Church needed the Spanish Inquisition..............
