FBI director on Heller

FBI Director Robert Mueller says "weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them.".

Say Uncle asks is he going to take his agents's guns away, then?

From Days of Our Trailers.

I'm assuming FBI weapons policy is similar to local LEOs -- you must, not just may, carry at all times, even when off duty. If so, the incongruity of the director of thousands of agents, who are required to carry at all times, stating that guns harm people, usually their owners, is rather obvious.

I've often wondered if federal law enforcement agencies wouldn't be better governed if you canned the director and top brass, then stood at the front door and hired the first dozen street-level agents who walked past to replace them, letting them draw straws for the highest rank.
