It isn’t just those agencies but others that made my head hurt.  After all, Obama has made it a defining pillar of his foreign policy to make changes here in the US to impress other countries (e.g., “other countries WILL follow our lead at decarbonizing ourselves to save the planet from global cooling warming change chaos”).  Yet, notice the dichotomy – even as he’s aching to disarm civilians (and the Libs are full throated about doing it now by calling for severe restrictions, higher taxes on guns and ammo, and outright calls for total confiscation), look at how these Fed agencies are arming up.  I can see law enforcement, but the Smithsonian??

Since FY 2006, 44 traditionally administrative agencies have spent over $71 million on items like body armor, riot helmets and shields, cannon launchers and police firearms and ammunition, according to federal spending data from watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com.  This comes in addition to the $330 million spent on such equipment in that period by traditional law enforcement agencies like the FBI, Secret Service and Drug Enforcement Administration.

• Nearly $2 million spent by the Department of Veterans Affairs on riot helmets, defender shields, body armor, a “milo return fire cannon system,” armored mobile shields, Kevlar blankets, tactical gear and equipment for crowd control.

Tell me, when is the last time that we heard about a riot at a VA hospital (although, with the abysmal and uncaring outlook on all the vets that didn’t get the care they deserved so that administrators could get bonuses, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of such)???

That was from an email I received from Kelly Ayotte, the junior Senator from NH.  She’s running for reelection and I’ve been getting a bunch of her emails touting her “accomplishments”.  No, I’m not going to post it here – especially as it leaves out some of her accomplishments that, well, don’t sit well with the conservative base here in NH.  Like “crossing the aisle” in supporting Obama’s EPA power grab (literally and figuratively) in the Clean Power Plan.  Being a lawyer, I am still waiting to hear from her where in the US Constitution the EPA / Executive Branch has this authority?

And given, yet again, Obama’s lawlessness (which she voted for the budget bill that didn’t even give him a slap on the wrist for his waywardness) actions today, former NH State Senator Bob Clegg has a few bon mots on that decision that enabled Obama to do this (emphasis mine):

I just watched Obama Press conference. Am I the only one who want a to know how the president can hire more FBI and fund more money to make background checks more efficient on Unites States citizens. BUT he CAN’T find a way to do background checks on immigrants coming into this country in droves.

Indeed, if it is part of the narrative, Loretta Lynch is

Texas governor challenges Obama to ‘come and take’ the Lone Star state’s guns as the president prepares to take executive action

Texas Gov Greg Abbott criticized President Barack Obama’s plan to move ahead with possible executive actions on guns in a tweet in which he told the Commander-in-Chief to ‘come & take’ the state’s guns. Obama said in his weekly radio address that he is looking for ways to keep guns out of the hands of ‘a dangerous few’ without depending on Congress to pass a law on the fraught subject of gun control.

The problem is that for many of us the phrase ‘a dangerous few’ means pretty much all of us –

For we ALL are the gun lobby and just not some really small number of manufacturers (what, you’re ALSO against good jobs at good wages??) and lobbyists that the Left is always trying to Alinsky:

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

So, it looks like both Obama and Hillary are trying to Alinsky the entire country!

New Hampshire?  How’d we do?  Well gosh durn it, not so shabby (but could do a bit better):

Well done!  I guess this chart will give the Bloomberg funded gun grabbers like Everytown and Moms Demand Action (like totalitarianism) heartburn.  After all, it does look like the “gun lobby” is darned well every American in the country.  Doubt me?  Look at the complete table after the jump and eyeball each State’s population and the gun estimates – a one for one isn’t that far off.  And we only have to thank the Nation’s Best Gun Salesman – Barack Obama!
