Regulatory Agency De-militarization Act: Remove weapons from the EPA, FDA, etc

[TheTman]

Representatives Mike Pompeo of KS, and Chris Stewart of Utah have sponsored the Regulatory Agency De-militarization Act. This will take the SWAT teams and weapons away from agencies like the EPA, Dept. of Education, FDA, and others that don't need a military wing.
I imagine if it goes anywhere the Senate will kill it, maybe not, if enough people get behind it. At least they are trying to do something about the every growing militarization of all the damned regulatory agencies that have no business with a SWAT team, or weapons.

Excellent bill that has NO chance with the current Senate.

The Department of Education has SWAT teams???? We don't need no new bills. We need a Department of Education who is dedicated to...well... education.

Cancel that. Bad example. We don't need no US Department of Education. That is to be left to the states and/or municipalities.
