14” ?

[Diogenesis]

Is that for loan collection? or failure to toe the PC line?

[jakerobins]

What? They are going to Educate or (Indoctrinate) children at Gunpoint?? Great........

[Halgr]

Didn’t the IRS do the same thing last month???

[GBA]

I’m sure it must be obvious, but I don’t get it...why does the Dept. of Ed. need shotguns? In fact, why do we need a Dept. of Ed.?

[Hamilcar_Barca]

Well, they can’t teach kids to read or write very well but they have selecting a good model!

[Swing_Thought]

Maybe they intend to do the right thing by offing themselves, for NCLB.

[ThunderSleeps]

...the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training...

Combat training? I don't remember that course in high school. Hmm, college did have a "rifle marksmanship" course which was fun...

Seriously, why do ED personnel need combat training?

[umgud]

No doubt for use in gun-free school zones.

[Thumper1960]

Must be they need them to train on school board members who refuse to submit to union contract demands.

[W. W. SMITH]

existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol.

So!! the department of education has a combat element? Why?

Did the FBI pick up rumors of a dangerous insurgency by third graders?

I think I will call my congress man in the morning.

“.. the only shotguns authorized for ED...”

Erectile Dysfunction commericials just keep getting more strange! What next, the gecko or the duck?

[OneWingedShark]

...WHY?

[Blood of Tyrants]

WTH does the Dept of Education need shotguns for?

[VR-21]

I’d like to think that they’re going to build trap ranges, but...you know. This is really weird. The Dept. of Education was created by Jimmy Carter as a campaign promise to the teachers union for supporting his presidential campaign. In doing so, Carter in effect gave the hyper-left NEA a cabinet post, and total control over public education in our country. We’re reaping that harvest now.

[Martel1971]

If one were to look past the obvious silliness of the headline I would assume that the weapons are for building security in D.C. Of course Duncan could be planning a trip back to Chicago. That alone would justify the purchase.

[smokingfrog]

Same thing the IRS is buying!

Dept. of Education
Soon to be the Dept. of Re-Education.

I go on FedBizzOps almost daily - I hope Drudge does not get in trouble for linking there - you have to sign and agreement on the info you see there is limited to business.
