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?
It’s much older than that. Not saying it started with prohibition or the income tax, but they put it on steroids. Outlawing alcohol ended up creating a crime wave so severe the people and the states allowed the federal government to unconstitutionally form federal police agencies to deal with it.
And the income tax—more unconstitutional federal bureaucratic law-making power and more federal police power and its own court to enforce it. Then the national parks and park service, park police, BLM, Forest Service, F&G, USDA, conservation corps, make work corps... ...The Fed, EPA, SSA, Medicare, ObamaCare, etc., etc., etc. I’m sure all sounded like good ideas (and more or less harmless) to their respective advocates at the time, but all unconstitutional and all against the founding principles nonetheless.
Now every damned unconstitutional federal ABC agency out there wants to write its own rules and regulations (laws), have its own courts and its own police force to enforce them.
Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.
The unconstitutional federal behemoth is now so huge and so entrenched that it will now take an act of God to make this right again. And, fortunately, God did guide the hands of the Founders and, thankfully, they did write the final recourse for we the people into the Declaration that established and founded this great and free nation:
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Everyone wants to believe that a conservative president could turn things around given enough time.
GHWB, empowered that, and empowered the Arkansas Bandit. Ain’t, real life worth protecting? Yet? How about now?
HE thinks it is.

It is reported that they now have, along with the DHS, IRS, BML etc - a total of about 250,000 armed agents.
HOwever - they aren't battle trained - they got out maneuvered and scared s***less at Bunkerville. When r=faced with Americans that won't kneel down - they start shaking in their boots -
Then there's this: They're up against The World's Largest Army

Double these numbers to account for the millions who have guns that aren't hunters - and the whole new layer of women shooters.
The only business that O’bummer has been good for is the firearms industry - ahahaha
For 30+ years now, tens of hundreds of billions of tax dollars were spent on government facility's, creating fortress like buildings/compounds.
We're talking automated pop up vehicle barriers, CCD/CCTVs, bullet resistant glass, barbed wire, guard dogs, electronic entry scans, automated doors to keep peasants out, secured guarded parking lots complete with video, body scanners, xrays, metal detectors, sniffing dogs, electronic recognition/eye tracking software and on and on and on...
This cost the tax payers many hundreds of billions and continues to do so.
