I just leaned that the post office has armed officers as well. That’s so ridiculous. Each of these agencies also stockpile ammo, a portion of which is used each year for training.
I’d be happy to see the FBI take that role on for federal assignments _if_ that reduced budgets and the current rot was excised in some meaningful way with mechanisms put in place to hold individuals accountable.

Usually this meant that it was provided by a military organization, but the US has a thing for branching its military forces. (Actually, I don't know about any country where it's completely civilian up to now. But that's not something I ever looked.)
