Step away from that mailbox with your hands up.
Those going postal can’t be made to pay for their own ammo?
My Post Office has been closed for 5 months because of the Colorado flooding and government incompetence. I have to drive 25 miles 50 round trip to get my mail and still have to pay box rent.

Are they planning to go Postal on us?
I should think this would be reported in the MSM—it should be making headlines all over the country if it is true ...
You know that times are tough when even the post office won’t call on the cops for help.
The Postal Inspection Service has 1,000 uniformed personnel and 1,200 investigators, and dates back to 1772 and Ben Franklin. See 18 USC 3061(c).
All these ammo purchases seem counter to the Govt’s usual Gun Control rhetoric.
“And DHS and the USPS are only the beginning. What of similar military-like acquisition of ammo made by other federal departments? For example:
In 2010, the Department of Education solicited for the purchase of:
twenty-seven (27) REMINGTON BRAND MODEL 870 POLICE 12/14P MOD GRWC XS4 KXCS SF. RAMAC #24587 GAUGE: 12 BARREL: 14” - PARKERIZED CHOKE: MODIFIED SIGHTS: GHOST RING REAR WILSON COMBAT; FRONT - XS CONTOUR BEAD SIGHT STOCK: KNOXX REDUCE RECOIL ADJUSTABLE STOCK FORE-END: SPEEDFEED SPORT-SOLID - 14” LOP are designated as the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
In 2012, the Social Security Administration asked for 174,000 .357 Duty Carry Sig 125 grain bonded JHP hollow point bullet ammunition.
On behalf of the National Weather Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has joined the crowd clamoring for ammunition, asking for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets for themselves.”
Why?
If true, we need to know where these stashes of ammo are at.
Mexico?
In closet at my kids school?
Undisclosed use? what better way to ship arms and ammo than the USPS.
I’m no fan of the current business model followed by the USPS, but they have a legitimate need for ammo. The Postal Inspectors deal with some pretty nasty types, like makers and distributors of child porn for example. They have a better excuse to have ammo than the Dept. of Education. I still can’t figure out why the Dept. of Ed. needs Remington 870 shotguns...
Must be that it’s more cost effective to go postal on the taxpayers’ dime.
tell a usps worker they’re part of a federal agency and they will deny it. dont know how many times they say they’re private.
