Does it concern you that the EPA & FDA are stocking up on body armor?

This is my opinion and I have no facts, so take it as such. I think that POTUS has Federal Law Enforcement Agencies+ buying all the ammo and equipment to drive up the prices and demand (which it has) for these products to try and keep it out of the population. All it has done is make a lot of gun owners hoard ammo and equipment when they can get it. Why make it that .22 LR is the hardest ammo to buy? What is someone going to start an insurrection with a bunch of .22 rifles and pistols? After the current POTUS is gone, what in the hell is the Federal Government going to do with all of the BS they bought and have no need for?

there have been some theories that there will be a manufactured reason to implement martial law floating around so that obama can do away with the constitution and dismiss congress before the end of his term.and would invite the un in in order to quash the ensuing riots. as to there validity i have no clue i generally try to dismiss them since that would definitely set off a civil war here.i don't think or at least hope that he has enough sense not to try it.

PO2 Jeffery Marcussen Sr - I LOL, and I very rarely use that acronym, when people start talking martial law.

Conflate the arming of these agencies with the disarming of local police, and I don't like the picture it paints.
What the hell does the FDA need body armor for?
I wonder how much of this kit was formerly police gear.

Exactly, 1SG Jerry Healy! I am hopeful that this is true, but I going to attempt to verify.

No, it doesn't concern me, at least not in the traditional sense where I might think the EPA and FDA are now going to use those guns in inappropriate ways. However, I don't support it either, and it's probably also not a good use of taxpayer money.
There have been around 65M firearms added to the civilian population under President Obama. That's not something these agencies can compete with. Ultimately if there is a threat by the government against the population, it would likely not come from places like the EPA or FDA.

MAJ Yinon Weiss no Sir i dont think they would either but it does worry me a bit that such agencies are buying up such equipment. and i agree with you that the funds could be put to better use.
