Writing for FreeBeacon.com, Elizabeth Harrington summarized a comprehensive report by a taxpayer watchdog group that chronicles the exponential increase in the militarization of police agencies in the United States during the past several years.
Harrington writes, "There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report."
Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday [June 22, 2016] that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy.
The "Militarization of America" report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage. .....
Elizabeth Harrington's original report referred to - seems to demonstrate even more just how well armed ( at huge cost) are a plethora of agencies, not just the 'expected' ones. More perypheral administration agencies that have purchased guns and ammo include the Small Business Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Education, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Author Chuck Baldwin expands on this subject. See your tax dollars at work, as all the while 'they' seek to disarm honest people.
