Questionable from a budgetary perspective, maybe.

DHS has 240,000 employees. If even only a quarter of those employees are armed, 1.6B works out to about 27K rounds per shooter. Seems like a lot at first glance. But then I remember 1000 round weeks at the range. Some jobs burn through that in a day, for training alone.

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and
tested way of solving problems like this. It was called a sergeant.
