As a member of law enforcement, I’ve done many joint details with various agencies of the federal government. And yes, the SSA has armed investigators. Just like HUD, FDA, and any other federal agency you can think of. Why? Because the folks that run those agencies can’t call on the US Marshals, FBI, SS, DEA or any other agency to lock someone up if they need to. So, they get their own goon squad.
However, a little known fact is.....when the Feds train, whether just doing their quarterly, qualifying or doing some sort of additional training, they use hollow points. The same ammunition that they use as duty rounds. While most law enforcement agencies(State, county, city, local, etc, etc) will buy FMJ rounds for training and hollow points for duty. Why again? Because FMJ rounds are cheaper.
Where does that bring us, with all these crazy purchases? As the Moron in the White House expands the government and in so doing, expands federal law enforcement with it, they need more bullets. Might not be the whole answer, but definitely something to consider.
Just wait until he has to hire 6000 IRS agents for his health care plan. Figure....6000 agents - shooting about 500 rounds a week(on the low end) for 20+ weeks.....someone else do the math. It scares me to think of all the wasted money.
It scares me even more to think they might not be wasting it!
