Why does the Postal Service, the EPA, the USDA and Social Security Admin need automatic weapons and millions of hollow point bullets?
------------------------------
All throughout the United States there are government agencies who have no association with national security acquiring military-like equipment, according to news talk KFLD.

Many agencies are also receiving SWAT teams including the Department of Agriculture, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Office of Personnel Management, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Education Department.

In almost prophetic fashion Ron Paul in a 1997 warned about the militarization of federal bureaucrats; including the BLM, which was not yet armed.

“All government power is ultimately gun power and serves the interests of those who despise or do not comprehend the principles of liberty,” said Dr. Paul. “The gun in the hands of law-abiding citizens serves to hold in check arrogant and aggressive government. Guns in the hands of the bureaucrats do the opposite. The founders of this country fully understood this fact.”

Which is exactly what we are seeing today with the over militarization of government agencies that have no reason to be armed.

This...this is the type of subject that can unite this country, both left and right.
Seriously why are armed federal agents raiding families for the stupidest things now? Raw milk production! Home schooling!

Quote:
“The U.S. Postal Service is not hoarding ammunition. The Postal Service Inspection Service is a law enforcement agency and its Inspectors carry firearms which require ammunition. Periodically, the Inspection Service must purchase ammunition for activities like firearms training, required annual firing range qualifications and for duty. As the Postal Service’s primary law enforcement arm, the Inspection Service is a highly specialized, professional organization which performs investigative and security functions essential to a stable and sound postal system and the security of the U.S. Mail. The Postal Inspection Service has a proud and successful record of fighting criminals who misuse postal services and products to defraud, endanger or otherwise threaten the American public.”

Such mundane explanations won’t persuade people who believe—or claim to believe—the government is secretly amassing a vast arsenal for a coming war against them. But there’s not much the postal service can do about that.

The US Constitution tells the government, do not mess with the people arms in anyway what so ever.
I do not see where the US Constitution allows government to own and have arms of any kind?

Only the people were to have arms, because arms could and would be used, to control free and liberal people, with inalienable rights given by no man and no man can ever take. You can only give them up. They can never be taken.

Really this regurgitated nonsense? Is it a requirement that every four years someone attempts to make this same case and yet EVER time it ends in Nothing.

Even still, why does the post office need a "law enforcement arm"?.... What could possibly fall under their purview that could not be handled by some other law enforcement agency?
