America needs gun control -- for bureaucrats

America needs gun control -- for bureaucrats: "

"Alan Korwin, author of Gun Laws of America, noted on his website last June that '22% of federal gun laws now authorize arming staff.' Scroll down the screen a bit and he further observes, 'Some of the more unusual federal 'police' forces are the egg inspector police, the print shop police, the EPA police, and one of the newest, the Federal Reserve Board police.' All of these absolutely beneficent bureaucracies have been endowed with 'broad powers to keep and bear arms in cases where the public is banned from keeping arms.' (Incidentally, it's US Code Title 21 Section 1041 that makes it illegal to forcibly interfere with a federal egg inspector, and extending the death penalty to anyone murdering such a valuable government asset apparently became the law way back in 1991.)"
