The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General, located in Washington, DC, pursuant to the authority of FAR Part 13, has a requirement for the commerical acquisition of submachine guns, .40 Cal. S&W, ambidextrous safety, semi-automatic or 2 shot burts trigger group, Tritium night sights for front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore grip) and scope (top rear), stock-collapsilbe or folding, magazine - 30 rd. capacity, sling, light weight, and oversized trigger guard for gloved operation.

And we all see our brave congress critters running out to trim their enforcement powers. /double sarc

So it’s okay for the government, but not okay for the citizen? I am pretty sure the founders had the same gun tech as the military at the time, no?

Here’s a counter proposal

DISARM THEM.

Make them work with local law enforcement authorities (sheriffs) when then need to enforce their edicts.

[ZULU]

YES.

OOOOOHHHH REALLY.....????

[ZULU]

The Marxist villain in the Oval Office is implementing his plan for a “civilian police force” while strangling the regular military.

Sort of like creating a force of SA troopers.

[TADSLOS]

Better yet, DISBAND them.

Yes, well you see, sometimes land gets unruly and is hard to manage. At these times, you must have heavy firepower to manage the land.

BLM shouldn’t have anything larger than .22 with snakeshot.

This is exactly how it should work, and how it has worked historically. The militarization of the federal government should frighten all Americans, but the left love an oppressive, fascist government when they are in control. When they are not in control, suddenly they take to the streets shouting “No blood for oil” and “Bush is Hitler”.

It just amazes me that any government agency can order whatever kind of weapons they want without any kind of oversight. These weapons are to be potentially used against citizens, and the citizens, the free, are the ones restricted or banned outright from owning them at all. Things are a little lopsided in my opinion.

BS. The RFQ is for agriculture NOT BLM which is under interior.

Bad enough the farm feds want them. Many on FR make fun of "conspiracy sites" but instantly believe any garbage posted.

Step 1) Buy a boatload of handgun ammunition, for "training".

Step 2) Buy a boatload of submachineguns, designed coincidentally for that handgun ammunition.

[ZULU]

Oh, I think there is Congressional “oversight”, which makes me feel even worse!!!

[Patriot Babe]

Lets not forget the State Department too on IED (Explosives):

[ZULU]

I don’t get it? What are you implying? Its O.K. for these people to be ordering military arms?? The solictation is a fraud?

Explain yourself.

[Phillyred]

Because those are all staged or paid for.
