That's the last year accurate numbers were generally available. Add to that the 120,000 Federal law enforcement...
And you get roughly 1.3 million government goons under arms.
There were 115,226,802 households in the US in 2008, per the Census.
Divide the number of households by the number of LE, and remember that not all LE will be available. Some will be off-shift, sick, or home taking care of their family.
How long does it take to search a home, confiscate material that has no categorization, and move on to the next house?
When you are being shot at, and people are pissed.
I wouldn't eat any of the confiscated food, it might be poisoned.

I’ll take your word for your numbers. Add national guard:
According to wiki:
“The Air National Guard has more than 106,000 personnel, and the Army National Guard (ARNG) around 325,000 personnel (as of February 2006).”
There are enough numbers to cause serious problems.
If you are a prepper, then be my guest and widely advertise what you have.
