Forgive a suspicious nature, but one would almost think that ALL federal employees are gearing up for a war on...

who, precisely?

Probably not China, probably not Russia, and probably not even Moslem terrorists, so that leaves.... us?

Something I’ve noticed as well. Obama’s got something in the hopper.

There was a time when FBI agents went toe to toe with the Nazi’s in South America in an undeclared war; when DEA Agents virtually invaded areas of Colombia and surrounding areas in the drug wars, and when some agents literally battled organizaed crime guys in the streets during prohibition. Today, we don’t see that as much with the civilian forces, frankly, we even arm our border police with bean bag guns and weaponize the border crossers. So, on one hand where the uses of weaponry is being diminished, we are now heavily arming more agents with a capability beyond their apparent needs? Makes no sense to me. I recall my early days as a street agent armed with nothing more than a 2” detective special later replaced with a Smith model 19. Seemed ok for our use as we were not battling an invading army of chicoms. We kept an office inventory of about 1000 rds for agents which covered use, qualification and practice. Today it seems agents are armed with semi auto and full auto shoulder weapons, semi auto pistols, and one agency has something like 1.6 billion rounds available for about 30,000 agents. What gives? We expecting an invasion of UFOs? Obvious to me, this is becoming more a land of the government verses the people then government by the people.

It does seem as if there's a pattern.
