During the last two years of the Obama administration, some unusual purchases were made. Large quantities of ammunition were purchased, as were firearms, mostly for somewhat obscure agencies or agencies with no real need for such weaponry. Estimates are that over 1 billion rounds of ammunition were ordered, which resulted in making ammunition scarce for the normal civilian market.
Also significant was Obama's troublesome statement made during his campaign, as follows
We cannot continue to rely only on our military ... we've got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.
What national security objectives? Surely, he is not talking about arming the civilian population, as he wants to disarm us. Why would he want such a "civilian security force"? Could it be that he realized he couldn't use the U.S. military to enforce his social dysfunction for multiple reasons? One is the Posse Comitatus laws, and another was the simple fact that the military likely would refuse his orders. Looking below, we can see he was arming agencies under his Executive Branch control.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service spent $4.77 million purchasing shotguns, 7.62mm caliber rifles, night-vision goggles, propane cannons, liquid explosives, pyro supplies, buckshot, LP gas cannons, drones, remote-control helicopters, thermal cameras, military waterproof thermal infrared scopes and more.
The SBA loaded up their arsenals with Glock pistols. The Fish folks spent approximately $410,000 on their Glocks and rifles and modified their Glocks with silencers.
The Department of Health and Human Services was outfitted with sophisticated weaponry normally carried by Special Forces, stored at an undisclosed location.

There are good photos; “lefty” as he’s now known had a double stack Glock of compact size with stock sights (you can see the white cup). Could be 23, 29, or 30 but almost certainly a 19.
Given that ol'Lefty is a convicted felon, the handgun was probably stolen. Which suggests that Lefty should be warming a jail cell, and looking at charges above & beyond the obvious "felon in possession of a firearm" violation (for example, possession of stolen property, burglary, etc.).
Hey, DA! Why isn't Lefty behind bars?
National Park Service has law enforcement agents. I’m sure they use hollo points for defense rounds.
Good question, the gov does not even use .45 these days, all .40 and 9mm I thought.
And the Dept. of Education got some. And the USPS, maybe.
Or so we were told. Most likely they were given to our enemies.
Like to ventilators went in the front doors of NYC hospitals and out the back. Or some such hooey.
Have a feeling that we’ll find out in late November when we see the feds take sides...
FBI and Border Patrol is one thing but why does the Dept. of Education need weapons?
Obamy’s two stimulus packages went mostly the same way.
And they need hollow point rounds, correct?
By the milions.
Thats a lot of bears
Btw, not the only agency that bought these after obama made them illegal for you
Evans, Ben. “Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship.” The Associated Press, 10 Nov. 2008.“Sen. Barack Obama delivers remarks at a campaign event, Colorado Springs, CO.” CQ Transcriptions, 2 July 2008.
Out in the boonies of Bum-phuck Idaho is a heck of a lot safer than the middle any city these days.
Why is it that all of these agencies needed all this equipment at once, and how come some of them never needed weapons before this? Correctly, this stinks. It did when it happened and it still does. It is certainly deserving of a complete investigation.
“Investigation”
Good joke, everyone knows the Magic Negro is untouchable.
Don’t know where the fed’s are but I still have mine. Recently added a Glock .40 pistol.
While we’re asking questions, I remember another issue early in Obama’s administration. He had issued an order giving Interpol arrest privileges inside the US, supposedly, and then I seem to remember (or imagined) that some of his people were being badged as Interpol.
Maybe it was just a crazy internet story but I remember it as being told for true at the time. Anyone else remember this?
If no one else remembers it, I’ll still probably ask again on future threads to see if anyone remembers. Its something that has tickled the back of my brain for some time now.
OK. I guess “google is your friend”. I just answered my own question.

And the answer is, he gave them the right to operate freely throughout the US, and made their facilities off limits to search by US agencies.
Basically he gave them diplomatic immunity and their records are not subject to FOIA.
