"•$1.4 million for “guns up to 300mm.
•$380,000 for “ammunition.”
•$210,000 for “camouflage and other deceptive equipment.”
•$208,000 for “radar and night-vision equipment.”
•$31,000 for “armament training devices.”

At Federal prices, that's chump change. About a company's worth of tactical hardware. It's nice to know they are undermanned.

Cuz they want to show the “warm and fuzzy” side of themselves

1.) Thank Nixon for creating this bureaucratic refuge for fascists and other left wing goons.

2.) Defund and dismantle the EPA.

[hal ogen]

Maybe these criminal idiot govt “workers” should have spent some of that money on cleaning that river they polluted in AZ & NM?

[jospehm20]

They have 300mm guns? I guess they will be doing some long range raiding?

[SkyDancer]

Because they can?

[Big Red Badger]

Hey ,
those bitter clingers and Tea Party types know where the good stuff is!

[Rebelbase]

Those weapons will come in handy when they storm neighborhoods block by block to stop the illegal burning of firewood in fireplaces and wood stoves.

[Chode]

you can warm and fuzzy somebody right into burned and charred pieces with a 12" gun...

[MarchonDC09122009]

Federal agencies have armed up and are ready to confront and take down US subjects when the time comes.

[JennysCool]

Every agency created in the late ‘60s and ‘70s to placate the hippies MUST be eliminated.

[Blood of Tyrants]

THe EPA is a government agency and doesn’t have to answer to anyone.

[realcleanguy]

Fascism permeates every level of this government. Why are they arming the EPA? This would only make sense if the Federal Government were going full on fascism

Yes, that, plus the EPA fear citizens, whose back yards are declared a wet land, after a hurricane amount of rain causes a one square foot by a quarter inch deep puddle of water. Said citizens tend to become "slightly" hostile by such lunacy from the POSs in the EPA.

[jonascord]

They are that stupid and Obama is going to give them live ammo? Can you envision the DMV in cammo and body armor?

I do have a question. The 500Lb lady who works at the IRS office. Do they make trauma plate carriers in 32XXL Grey Whale?

[bobby.223]

300mm!? LOL!!! Damn, them Fed folks be serious about their firepower!

[smokingfrog]

They need 300mm guns like I need a Lamborghini Veneno.

[Eagles6]

I don't even know if the Russians have 300 mm artillery. I think the Germans may have had some mounted on rail cars.

Maybe .300 Win Mag?

If so what do they need long range rifles for? Antelope culling? They contract that out.
