Via Paco, we see this story about the people who made America great!!!!!
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 (link in original V) calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy.
For certain values of “great” (bureaucrats think it’s wonderful that they can shoot those assholes who forget to check boxes!)
This totally isn’t scary.
The “Militarization of America”link in original V) 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.
Wait, I mean that’s totally fucking scary.
Which leads us to how to feel safer in such an unsafe environment.
We need to get the EPA to attack NASA to attack the Social Security admin to attack the IRS to attack…..
If we can get bureaucracies fighting, maybe they’ll leave us alone.
As I said at Paco’s, my only hope is that the NOAA and EPA get in a shootout in my front yard while arguing over who gets to shoot me. (Over my anti-global warmmongering)
I’ll get video if it happens.
And lest we think this is Obama’s fault, it started long before Obama, under Bush it accelerated (or at least, that’s when I started noticing it). I am sure that Clinton was all in on that sort of thing as he was crying into the camera and biting his lip to take my guns.

Quoth RebeccaH, making a point I hadn’t thought of.
While all these bureaucrats spend millions arming themselves, the Marines are having to scrounge airplane parts out of the airplane boneyard. I hate this administration with a white hot passion.
Obama is shrinking the part of gov’t that does the things it’s supposed to do (like the military) and vastly expanding the part that doesn’t.
Would that be Bush Sr or Bush Jr ?
I remember seeing a bumper sticker … that said “if you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention”
I wasn’t angry…
Now it seems everyone is angry…
I sometimes get angry now…but mostly I’m sad… I look back and think “when did all this start?” and I’m starting to think it has always been that way…and I just wasn’t paying attention…which makes me sad…again…
Bush Jr. is when I noticed it.
and I just wasn’t paying attention
It’s hard to figure things out with the combined chubby fists of Minitrue, lefty propaganda in movies and our fine establishment betters trying to hide what’s actually going on.
That’s why most people’s opinion of Clinton is that “The economy was great under him.” while not knowing about him selling everything that wasn’t locked down, and unlocking the stuff that was locked down, to China.
Anybody who said that he only bombed anybody when some particularly damning thing was happening (like bombing Iraq when he was being impeached) was either ignored or called a conspiracy theorist who also thought he had Arkansas state police kill his hookers for him.
That’s why low information voters are a growing class.
Which is particularly ironic since he ultimately wound up taking credit for watered-down versions of reforms that he originally vetoed. The best trick Minitrue ever pulled was convincing the US it didn’t exist.
Exactly. When I mention how it was really Newt doing the right thing despite everything Clinton could do to stop him, they act as if I’m an idiot.
The only thing Clinton did, besides treat the White House like a Super 8 and selling our secrets to China, was NAFTA, that he got passed by getting the GOP to go against his own party.
