Bill seeks to disarm federal SWAT teams

 

 

"Does the Department of Education really need SWAT teams? How about the Department of Agriculture or HUD?


All these agencies are using provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to arm themselves to the teeth.  This is costly and dangerous and that is why I am proud to join Chris Stewart of Utah and co-sponsor H.R. 4934: The Regulatory Agency De-militarization Act.  The bill revokes provisions of the 2002 Homeland Security Act that grant Offices of Inspector General firearm and arrest authority and prohibits many federal agencies from purchasing or using firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act such as machine guns and grenades."
