Why Have President Trump's Regulatory Agencies Stockpiled So Much Firepower?

Via John


Why does the IRS need five million rounds of ammunition? Why did Health and Human Services purchase four million rounds over the last eight years and stockpile five submachine guns? And what about the 800,000 rounds purchased by the Social Security Administration?

These questions we’ve raised before have newfound urgency in light of recent events.

In December, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report to congress quantifying purchases of $1.5 billion in firearms, ammunition, and tactical equipment by federal agencies outside of the Pentagon (FY2010-FY2017).

  3. More lies and agitprop from the media whores. They act as if this was something new that Trump started for "nefarious reasons" when in reality the arming of federal agents and agencies has been going on for decades, increasing under Dubya The Shrub Bush and accelerating to light speed when Obozo was in office.
