A report issued last year by the watchdog group Open The Books, “The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies,” found that more than 200,000 federal bureaucrats now have been granted the authority to carry guns and make arrests – more than the 186,000 Americans serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. “One hundred three executive agencies outside of the Department of Defense spent $2.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between fiscal years 2006 and 2019 (inflation adjusted),” notes the report. “Nearly $1 billion ($944.9 million) was spent between fiscal years 2015 and 2019 alone.”

Sorry about repeating myself on “how many carry full time?”. Pacific time zone early lack’o coffee brain hiccup. 🤔😎👍
This is the civilian national police force that Obama wanted when he was the front man. Now he’s running things in the shadows and getting his wishes met.
“Why is the government arming more bureaucrats than Marines?”
Because they can?
Because, our, ‘Elected Representatives’ do NOT ‘represent’ us in any way, shape or form?
Represented? We don’t need no steenkin’ representation! As in a comment yesterday, when 80+% of the counties across the country are red and the demokkkommies are in charge.... You aren’t represented. And, they don’t care.
“This is the civilian national police force...”
Yes, they aren’t hampered by the laws governing the military.
The next Civil War will be between our government socialist ideology tyrants and the People.
The NWO clique is waiting for theoir cannon fodder to be willingto die for the EPA, the Green New Deal. BLM and ANtifa.
THis should be made known all over America.
Guess whose side CHina is on?
Because the government’s enemy is the folks. Not China. Not terrorists. Not criminals. The taxpayers.
The administration fears the citizens more than anyone else and is afraid the folks might revolt.
global reset, control of the citizen by a dictatorial government.
What about gun control?
I thought democrats hated guns.
Yeah…. for everyone but them.
have you noticed that pretty much every newsworthy murder or incident nowadays, the FBI is always “assisting” in the investigation?
But I guess Die Hard was more fun once the FBI took over the Nakatomi hostage crisis!
Riggs and Murdoch would have never gotten as far as they did in todays age!
Fed-Creds...
Brain Coffee -—good.
Yep.
There are 537,000 deer hunters in Michigan alone (11.4 million for the total US). I’d say that the citizenry still vastly outnumbers the armed Washington bureaucrats just a tad...
Bureaucrats with guns,.. what an idea !
Anyone who thinks that biden is running the country
is off their medications and in need of a shrink.
It sounds like the Feddies have declared war on the American people. They’re having their own banzai “insurrection” against “We the People”.
“Why is the government arming more bureaucrats than Marines?”
Start of a Duhictatorship.
Did you forget about needing F15s if you want to go there? Just ask branDUHn. 😲😁👍
They are arming who is their army against us and the Law. Pretty simple really. What fool is in doubt?
I just sent a note to my congressman that I want THIS issue investigated & these agencies disarmed. Nothing good can come from all of these people carrying arms, essentially against the American people.
