Full List of Armed Federal Agencies

Not to go all Glenn Beck on yo ass, but the story about the Department of Education’s order for 27 Remington tactical shotguns (nice piece, but I’d also consider the Benelli M4) got me thinking: who else in our federal government is tooled-up for action? Here’s a list of Uncle Sam’s police from Wikipedia, with links for your dining and dancing (DANCE I TELL YOU! DANCE!) pleasure. Oh, and don’t worry too much about that overdue book: the Library of Congress Police ceased operations in October of 2009, absorbed by the Capitol Police.
