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.

    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.
