Arming the Federal Bureaucracy for the Benefit of Whom? Is This the Government’s Concept of Gun Control?
Please pray for Dr. Kent Brantly and all those involved with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

“Congress working on bill to de-militarize federal regulatory agencies
by Chris Eger
8/09/14
Following a host of federal agencies moving to equip their inspectors with military-grade weapons (Why!?—my addition), some on Capitol Hill are calling for their disarmament (I should hope! Many of them are not even constitutional! Why are they being armed? Military personal can not even be armed on bases and we are arming civilian bureaucrats? Strange form of gun control?—my addition).
The proposed legislation takes issue with the growing creep of federal SWAT-type units (SWAT [Special Weapons and Tactics!—my addition]-type units! Seriously? In the bloated federal bureaucracy?—my addition) that have been forming since the 2002 Homeland Security Act granted various agency Offices of Inspectors General arrest and firearm authority (An OBVIOUS mistake!—my addition). The House bill calls for these agencies to not only lose that authority, but also to restrict them from acquiring military weaponry (GOOD! Rand Paul should be concerned about these armed agents rather than local and state police forces which are NOT under the jurisdiction of the federal government!—my addition).
‘It’s disturbing to see the stories of federal regulators armed to the teeth and breaking into homes and businesses (What are they doing breaking into homes and businesses?—my addition) when there was no reason to think there would be resistance,’ Representative Chris Stewart (R-Utah), sponsor of the legislation, said in a statement from his office.
Stewart explained his concerns about these special law enforcement teams, saying, ‘I understand that federal agents must be capable of protecting themselves. But what we have observed goes far beyond providing necessary protection. When there are genuinely dangerous situations involving federal law, that’s the job of the Department of Justice, not regulatory agencies like the FDA or the Department of Education (Department of Education! Why does the Department of Education, which is an unconstitutional agency in the first place, need a police force?—my addition). Not only is it overkill, but having these highly-armed units within dozens of agencies is duplicative, costly, heavy handed, dangerous and destroys any sense of trust between citizens and the federal government (Do you think! They are suppose to be our employees NOT our keepers! Why are they doing any law enforcement?—my addition).’
The bill, H.R. 4934, entitled the Regulatory Agency Demilitarization Act (What a name!—my addition), would place a freeze on weapons purchases by all federal agencies with exception for those who have traditional law enforcement or defense tasking such as the FBI and the U.S. Coast Guard. Those agencies not exempted would have 90 days to submit to Congress details of their armed agents including the scope and composition of their specialized units that receive special tactical or military-style training or use hard-plated body armor, shields, or helmets and that respond to high-risk situations that fall outside the capabilities of regular law enforcement officers. If they can’t justify them, they could risk losing them (Risk? Why do any of them have that responsibility?—my addition).
In addition, Stewart’s bill would strike the 2002 clause that allows more than 60 OIG offices (Office of Inspector General. GOOD! It seems gun control for government is not a great desire of the Democrats! Only gun control for law abiding American citizens outside of government!—my addition) to carry guns and arrest suspects.
According to a 2006 GAO report, no less than 137,929 armed law enforcement officers in 104 agencies work for the federal government. Besides agencies under the Justice Department, Defense and Homeland Security, there exists a myriad of armed OIG agents who investigate largely regulatory crimes.
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the number of criminal investigators in non-traditional civilian agencies mushroomed from around 500 in 1973 to over 3800 by 2011.
This includes such diverse groups as the seven agents for the Peace Corps (The PEACE Corp!—my addition), a pair of special agents of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the 52 criminal investigators of the Environmental Protection Agency’s OIG (The last government people on this planet that should have weapons are people from the EPA!—my addition).
This growing trend of heavily armed regulatory agents has led to such controversial actions as the raid of a California organic grocery store suspected of selling raw milk by the FDA, a predawn raid by agents of the Department of Education of the home of a suspect being investigated for student aid fraud, and the recent solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for .40 caliber submachine guns (Gun control! Agriculture! Do they want to murder some cows?—my addition).
In their defense, the USDA explained that the submachine guns sought to arm their 172 OIG special agents are needed in potentially life-threatening situations while conducting investigations of fraud in farm programs, smuggling and other crimes. The agency reports that these agents in the past two years have obtained over 2,000 indictments, 1,350 convictions, and more than $460 million in monetary results (So! What does that have to do with having their own armed agents?—my addition).
Nonetheless, Stewart’s disarmament bill is already receiving backing from some rather unexpected places.
‘If agency officials face a situation in which armed backup is truly called for, they can go through the proper procedures to have support from the Department of Justice,’ explained a release from the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance last week throwing their support behind the legislation. The grassroots organization of small independent farmers usually spends its time fighting for issues concerning non-GMO crops and restrictions on raw milk. However, they are now willing to take up the call for disarming federal regulators.
‘Having in-house SWAT teams and armed personnel makes it too easy to turn a non-hazardous situation into an armed raid that abuses the rights of our citizens,’ contends the group (Absolutely!—my addition).
House bill 4934 has garnered some 28 GOP co-sponsors since June (Only 28?—my addition) and currently is in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.”
WHY are we arming the federal government? We are arming agencies that are not even constitutional! The government needs to be reduced in sized, not armed to the teeth like the military!

The Obama Administration: How NOT to govern a nation!
CLOSE THE BORDER! NO REFUGEE STATUS!
NO AMNESTY! DEPORT THEM ALL!
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!
Impeachment IS the answer!
Galatians 6: 7-9 (NIV)
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! In the end, VICTORY belongs to GOD and HIS people! HIS people are, by definition, CHRISTIANS! Followers of JESUS, the CHRIST!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!
Impeach Barack Hussein Obama!

Unborn baby’s beating heart at 7 and ½ weeks— less than two months— and yet a potential murder victim from the hands of the child’s mother. How is that even rational?

This movie is just under an hour and ten minutes in length. Watch it to the end! The final court room scene. Listen carefully. This was Hollywood in 1943.
