Federal, state and local agencies have become the fourth branch of government.

“Monkey see, monkey do” is a partial explanation. Or, maybe, pistol envy. But there’s also something else at work here.

I think much of the ammo purchases are black ops that are sending ammo in to be fired in the guns of fast and furious.

As the increase their armed forces, they seek to constrain our possession of arms. The intent is clear.

How legal are the use of these "private armies" to enforce a federal rule/law/regulation? Steve Stockman didn't think the BLM had the authority. He claims they must use local law enforcement.

GOP lawmaker urges BLM to stop illegal ‘paramilitary raids’ against rancher

"No bureaucracy should have a private army to enforce its orders against the American people."

Bears repeating.

I fear for my country. I fear for my fellow citizens...low information or not. I fear there will be an uprising and it will be bad. But, I am not afraid for liberty and good to shine once more from our shores. This is America. And we are Americans. If we must go through hard times to find our way back to God, good...then so be it. The Tree of Liberty.

Clearly, they’ve got a lot more money than they need in their budgets. This would be a great area to start reducing the federal deficit.

Meanwhile, we send our military personnel and Border Patrol Agents into harm’s way without ammunition or without authority to defend themselves.

This isn’t just an Obama thing, This began under Clinton and was continued under Bush and Obama. I remember when Clinton was in office and he authorized the poultry inspectors at the FDA to carry firearms on the job. What were they expecting? An armed revolt by the chickens?

Socialism always fails, always. The feral grubment won’t survive. The house of cards will fall. Just a matter of time.

A big part of my concern is from the fact that the LEOs at the Bundy Ranch seemed very much ready to open fire if so ordered.

Department of Education??

[Political Junkie Too]

Kinda makes you wonder if Obama thinks that the American citizen is the enemy?

Consider all the recent stories of customer credit card numbers being stolen. Where is the NSA? Aren't they supposed to be snooping this kind of thing out?

Oh, that's right. They're not snooping on America's enemies. They're snooping on Americans!

No doubt these obscure Federal agencies now have SWAT teams and Mine Resistant Anti-Personnel carriers.

[Jvette]

I believe they were testing the waters with the Bundy Ranch situation. I now expect there will be a even harder, and most likely as quiet as possible, push to disarm the American people.
