Democrats have no compunction attacking American citizens’ Second Amendment rights; however, they seem to be quite at ease arming federal government bureaucrats. The Washington Free Beacon reported the following:
There are now more non-military
government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a
new report.
Open
the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds
domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of
military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House
floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American
citizens can buy.
The “Militarization of America”
report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and
military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents
with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage.
“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.”
The
Department of Health and Human Services has armed agents who’re trained in
warfare? Has Obamacare been
weaponized? Exactly, who’s the enemy
here?
