Perhaps President Trump will disarm these “non-traditonal” law enforcement agencies?

I suspect they are hiring thugs, Barney Fifes, and military never-were types for those “enforcer” positions.

And Trump and his people will not roll over and play dead in the face of a stolen election, as Romney and the RNC did in 2012.

There’s only 200K agents....there’s 5x more armed citizens. Just an observation.

The Fedgov and Stategov guys are not stupid. They live in the same neighborhoods as we do, and they know the proles are not very happy right now.

That, and most if not all cops view all “civilians” as potential threats (I have many cops in my family, and this is not new). If they come to say, FR or DU, they are going to see a lot of hot heads spouting off.

In short, they are doing the same thing many here are doing. They are gunning up because the other side is gunning up. This is how civil wars start. Not with one side making a move, but all sides getting paranoid and worried enough that a little spark leads to an explosion. Except it would be an explosion with drones dropping Hellfire missiles in residential neighborhoods.

As sneakypete once related to local pd at a coffee shop, Thank you for storing my weapons until I need them.”

Quite by accident as I was being wheeled to the exit of a local hospital, I spotted the open arms locker momentarily revealed while a guard was leaving the office.

So the location of at least four M16/Ar15s plus other items is known.

Locate the security office door in ANY hospital and you can figure the same. Good starter kit.

I know some of those people.

They are scared. Terrified. They know if a conflict starts, they are on the list of a number of groups all around spectrum to be “eliminated”.

That ag inspector may not really have much to do with the stuff that gets people angry (though, if you are in ag, he sure does!), but if a full blow communist rebellion starts do you think that will save him? Or if a libertarian revolt goes up?

They know that people of all political leanings are not very happy with them. That means they are targets, and scared. That means if you have some extra money left at the end of the budget year, you arm up a bit to protect yourself and your family.

These purchases are driven by fear. The .gov types below the public eye are not stupid. They know what is bubbling up below the surface.

Why would they need guillotines, when they are so unwieldy?

Only to teach public lessons in consequences, and even then they wouldn’t need thousands.
