6. I didn't mention the US military - they aren't a federal agency.

I was thinking about the thousands of armed postal criminal investigators, IRS criminal investigators, etc, etc. Armed agencies that rarely use their weapons in the course of duty. Yes, they could get by with revolvers, bolt-action rifles and shotguns since they're basically for show, AND they can always request local law enforcement backup for the few times they actually deal with violent criminals.

When USPS and IRS agents carry modern duty pistols with 17+ round capacity, it's a losing argument that non-government employees shouldn't be allowed the same.
