It started under Clinton when he greatly expanded which US government employees could carry a firearm while at work. For example, poultry inspectors were then authorized to carry. Why a poultry inspector needs to have pistol while inspecting chickens is beyond me. Obozo just accelerated it.

Well, every government agency has an office of OIG to investigate fraud, etc. within the department. The investigators who work for OIG are law enforcement people who investigate crime and make arrests. That is the reason all these seemingly mundane departments buy weapons and ammo.

My preference is that we do away with all these government agencies, then we won’t need investigators to police them.

Ya know, I think there was a Bush in there as well somewhere. It's not a partisian thing. Both republicans and democrats see us as the enemy.
