They can stage live-fire war games against all the other federal agencies who've added armed goon squads to their ranks.

Yep, there’s no shortage of well armed feds in most all departments in the Executive Branch.

The 2nd Amendment is ours precisely because of such a threat. These military-armed LEO branches are civil servants whose job is to eradicate criminals.

Folks who consider the 2A a make-or-break issue should heed a fine line. The leading candidate states clearly that the reason for the 2nd Amendment is "about self defense, plain and simple."

My candidate states clearly that the 2nd Amendment is a "fundamental check on government tyranny."

Civil servants are given immunity from the classification "criminals" in the eyes of government officialdom. The politician who believes the purpose of the 2A is for self-protection may well believe that once criminals are deprived of guns (or enough of them), the 2A is less valuable and potentially obsolete -- that is the inevitable conclusion.

The reality, that the 2A was intended as a "fundamental check on government tyranny," means it will only become obsolete when government becomes obsolete.

Government arming itself this way, and LEOs disturbing penchant for applying military technique for "fighting crime," makes the reason a candidate cites as to why the 2A exists, critical.
