@maxdancona,
No one has stated "The Government needs to arm all of it's agents!"
However, plenty of people have strenuously challenged the argument that the Government is arming far to many of it's agents and offering specious arguments as to why mundane department employees should be armed.
Our government has been buying up unprecedented amounts of ammunition, for non-military use, and arming employees who are not remotely part of the criminal justice system. You can choose to see this as no big deal or alarming.
It's really not surprising that you have chosen the former, nor would it be surprising if you chose the latter had a Republican been president over the last six years.
Most folks base their present opinions on what the leaders of their political tribe is promoting, but I would argue (and you are perfectly welcome to argue otherwise) that conservatives have a far better track record in sticking to principle, in this regard, than liberals. Or maybe it just come done to that conservative principles are, overall, superior to liberal ones.
I don't care what the party affiliation of any president may be, this specific issue is alarming, and the expansion of government is bad.
