You know this is a nonsense complaint when the NRA says so. The USDA has a police unit in the Forest Service. Only the delusional cons think everybody except law enforcement should be armed with heavy weaponry. Also, the BLM is in the Dept of Interior, so this thread is an utter fail. Its sad that an elected official doesn't know the structure of the organizations he is responsible for overseeing.

And, delusional libs think that ONLY law enforcement should be armed, heavy or otherwise, and in the same breath say that if the citizens were disarmed, violence would plummet. If that's the case, LE wouldn't need guns either, or could get by with a good old' mod 10 revolver, just for show. Wouldn't even need ammunition for it. Maybe blanks, to scare the law breakers is all.

If so, kind of extreme.

Rep. Bridenstine: Why Does USDA Need Submachine Guns?
Same reason I own two. Because I can. And I'm one of those "anti-gun liberals" to hear tell on this board.

We have several alphabet agencies that do law enforcement.

The USDA needs to be in those processing plants inspecting the meat instead.
Maybe we'd have less recalls if they didn't try to multi-task.
If the USDA ever got enough funding to do what you just said, you would probably be here talking about over regulations.

and the reason we have the USDA doing it and not the FBI, is because the FBI has bigger fish to fry.

Border Patrol's use of deadly force criticized in report, new details released - TheIndyChannel.com
The Border Patrol has begun testing "less lethal" weapons, such as pepper spray, rubber bullets and Tasers, and added training on violent confrontations for new agents.

Perhaps our nation should treat border enforcement like Mexico and imprison their nation's military and police who regularly cross into our nation while armed with weapons.

I guess that's the same excuse for EPA raids and Dept of Education raids and other alphabet agency raids ?
They have to do it themselves because the FBI has "bigger fish to fry" ?

the better question is why do a large majority of federal government agencies need firearms of any kind?
