LOL. According to legions of lefties, that is the logical explanation. Could it be that these lefties, like a stopped clock, are right twice a day, and this is one of two?

Notice only one liberal chimed in so far......and her post was as disingenuous as it gets. Messianic Cult Of Barack Worship won't allow disparaging the government led by the half-black guy......even of they find the arming of more government workers troublesome. This is why liberals and liberalism are the scum of the earth.

The Criminal Enforcement arm of the EPA was created in 1982 under President Reagan. They enforce the law just like any other branch of the government, and the agents are much more likely to have drawn their gun in the face of a crocodile than a human.

NOAA has guns for the same reason the Coast Guard does: It's possible that they might be first on the scene in the case of conflict. They're also in charge of prosecuting illegal fishing in some areas.

I mean, I suppose we can all be scared and paranoid that some government officials have guns. But they've had guns for a long time now, so I guess its a little confusing to me why this is a relevant or interesting topic right now?

It is like the right has never heard the term "armed security guards." I am not sure I get the outrage over this.

Ideas?
I don't know, but on the news a few months ago I recall hearing talk of a 'planned emergency in this coming october. If i recall it was Obama's idea.

At the time i just rolled my eyes..... If i see a govt agent i don't like with a mp-5, that gun will be be mine. No papers.

You can't hardly buy Mountain House freeze dried foods these days much less mre's.

I think the feds FEAR the Hell out of We the People. I think in Oct we will see what ever we will see.

The freeze dry foods shortage and the ammo shortage are just over the top.
