The Standing Army That Our Founding Fathers Warned Against

“Regulatory enforcement within administrative agencies now carries the might of military-style equipment and weapons,” Open the Books said. “For example, the Food and Drug Administration includes 183 armed ‘special agents,’ a 50 percent increase over the ten years from 1998-2008. At Health and Human Services (HHS), ‘Special Office of Inspector General Agents’ are now trained with sophisticated weaponry by the same contractors who train our military special forces troops.”

Open the Books found there are now over 200,000 non-military federal officers with arrest and firearm authority, surpassing the 182,100 personnel who are actively serving in the U.S. Marines Corps.

(URR here.) From Free Beacon.  Next time some bleeding heart gun-grabber tells you how much he or she (he/she?) hates guns, remind them that they actually LOVE guns.  This Administration, and a Hillary Administration, would further weaponize government in both a legal and literal sense against its political opponents and the American People in general.   Is it any surprise that both Obama and Hillary wish desperately to remove the People's last redress against tyranny of government?

That reminds me. I had better get those overdue books back to the library.

Damned straight. Otherwise you might get your lawn dug up by a "tactical vehicle" while some lending library enforcement arm serves a "high risk overdue notice". Complete with the AR-15s they want to forbid you from owning.
