Why don't we call up the USDA and ask just why the need to order submachine guns?

The US Department of Agriculture ^ | 5/7/2014 | Agency: Department of Agriculture

[WMarshal]

Here is the header of the solicitation: 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

I guess a local sheriff is too heavy to carry.

“No. If they need law enforcement, they need to take the local cops with them. Nowhere in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, do the States give Congress the authority to have police powers at the federal level.”

Your problem is - you think rationally - you have to stop that or you will never “fit in” and I know that is important to you. :o)

On a side note, the Democrats and Republicans are colluding to lie about inflation so that automatic benefit increases pegged to inflation do not kick in.

---

The preferred politically feasible solution to winding down the entitlement state is to stop indexing benefits to inflation and letting inflation erode the purchasing power of existing benefits and slowly driving recipients back into working for a living.

The Republican vision of what that job force would look like is the traditional American norm.

The Democrat vision is more like the jobs market in East Germany when it was part of the USSR in the 1970s

I recall a buy of 2 billion rounds of .40 S&W JHP. Perhaps they realized that a submachinegun would more effectively deliver that inventory to the domestic targets (since JHP is forbidden for use in military conflicts).

Just remember, you can always take the weapons and ammo off of the dead members of barry’s civilian army that he is supplying. You don’t need to stock up your own. They’re doing it for you.

[SoFloFreeper]

None of your business, serf.

“The excuse trundled-out is, “cartels are performing grow operations in national forests””

They never seemed to have a problem with foreign criminals growing pot on `federal land’ before.
I suspect the real problem is American natives running them off `their land’.
Their hired hands had started killing stock, then had to be escorted off by local LEOs.
And they even had to bury the evidence before leaving so people didn’t start shooting at them.
How embarrassing that must have been for these federal Alpha-male gear queer mercenaries.

No. If they need law enforcement, they need to take the local cops with them. Nowhere in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, do the States give Congress the authority to have police powers at the federal level.

That's the point! The federal government can raise armies to DESTROY America's enemies. Police forces are local agencies designed to keep the peace and PROTECT citizens.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Well, now we know the govt response to the Bundy ranch thing.

I’d prefer to ask them where they are going to be stored. ;-)
