The House needs to shut this crap down. Make it clear that no Agency, Department, or Bureau other than the FBI or Military may have, carry, or use firearms in the course of their duties.
And in my opinion we should take a good hard look at the FBI.
And yes, I deliberately left the BATF off my list.

Well, they're on my list.
We thought it was bad years ago when we ran into IRS agents shooting at the range in CA - why did they need weapons? Better question now is WHY does the EPA need them? Someone might have some water running past their house? Hey - they should see the runoff of rain all around my house...Our yard is truly “wet lands” and so are all the neighbors...
FBI investigations should be white collar crimes.
US Marshals should be only federal agency carrying weapons.
