Thread: Dept of Agriculture Orders Submachine Guns with 30 Round Magazines

H2 Note: Send in the clowns.There are Americans who are actually brain-washed enough to believe the government is going to use this heavy weaponry to protect them. After all, Cliven Bundy and any rancher or farmer presuming their own land with all the associated mineral and water rights belongs to them are the ones who are the criminals. Right?

A May 7th solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks "the commercial acquisition of submachine guns [in] .40 Cal. S&W."

VIDEO

According to the solicitation, the Dept. of Agriculture wants the guns to have an "ambidextrous safety, semiautomatic or 2 round [bursts] trigger group, Tritium night sights front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore group) and scope (top rear), stock collapsible or folding," and a "30 rd. capacity" magazine.

They also want the submachine guns to have a "sling," be "lightweight," and have an "oversized trigger guard for gloved operation."

The solicitation directs "all responsible and/or interested sources...[to] submit their company name, point of contact, and telephone." Companies that submit information in a "timely" fashion "shall be considered by the agency for contact to determine weapon suitability."

Rumor has it that it’s because of the corn. There have been incidents! Of massive “stalking” in various part of the country!

What the hellp does the Dept. of Ag. need with those??? Is obama collecting his ''national security force'' from other governments agencies?

Is this in response to the BLM issue with Bundy? Have the crops been misbehaving?

The net is drawing tighter by the day. The temperature is rising in that proverbial pan of water, The last side to the pen is being added. The noose is being made and the gallows built. The boxcars are being connected by the ride.

Real patriot, you nailed it. The Federal Government is building armed forces besides our military. For what? I think we all know the answer.

The Police State is surely here, when the Dept. of Agriculture and "Education" (indoctrination) gets fully automatic weaponry, in addition to Tactical Assault Vehicles and SWAT teams issued to them! And they are being illegally funded OUTSIDE of Congress and the Constitution! (P.S. WHY IS BOEHNER NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS~!!!)

We now have the US Geological Survey, NOAA, National Weather Serv., Dept. of Agriculture, etc.,,, and most all other completely inert Government service agencies, armed to the teeth with illegal hollow point ammunition as banned by the Geneva Convention.

There can be only one motive here;....... Which is to be used against We The People, if we decide to boot these Totalitarian Tyrants out of power!

Hollow point ammunition is only illegal to use in war against enemy combatants. It is perfectally OK to use on your own civilians. This is kind of like the differing penalties for crimes between citizens and illegals. If you are convicted of a felony which carries a 10 year sentence, an illegal will only get 5 years on the same charge.

October/November 2014. Either just before the midterm elections if they really think they're going to lose, or just after if they unexpectedly lose.

You really believe this is all about Obama? If you believe electing a Republican President will change anything, there is no hope for you. This began under Bush and will continue with the next President.

This began way before Bush Darin. This started way back with Woodrow Wilson and they have been working towards their ends for a very very long time. Only since the 60's have they really gotten the ball rolling and on Sept 11th 2001 the train left the station and isn't stopping. So there is no one president to blame. The elites are in control and our president no matter who he is, he is doing their bidding.

Go back much further than Bush 2 ,It started under Wilson with his monetary policy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt did away with many of our freedoms for the greater good. Just get off facebbook or quit watching Dancing with the stars and read a book or two. There is no hope for our once great country. We go the way of the Romans.

The 2 political parties are merely flip sides of the same coin. Both are corrupt and criminal. This whole thing is going to get real ugly, real soon.

This retired Army Ranger tells it all and has many pictures to back up his claims. If anyone is concerned about America's future then watch this and hear it from a person who was in the know. Unedited

Americans will have to turn to an outside source for arms, if these fears become reality.We know who those sources might be, then the outcome of that is not encouraging either!

Obama’s USDA Orders Submachine Guns With 30 Round Magazines And Night Scopes

NTEB News Desk | May 15, 2014 | 7 Comments

The Federal Government Militarizes All Agencies

Barack Obama’s Department of Agriculture (you know, the people who are in charge of plants, cows and cheese) have recently placed an order for some pretty blazing firepower. Can you think of any circumstances under which the good folks at milk regulation would need semi-automatic submachine guns as part of their daily routine? No, we can’t either.



Obviously, Barack Obama is not against stockpiling massive firepower. What he is against, however, is you having it to defend yourself.

Here is the official RFP:

Obviously, Barack Obama is not against stockpiling massive firepower. What he is against, however, is you having it to defend yourself. The Second Amendment, in case you’ve forgotten, is not about your “right to go hunting”. It’s for the purpose of being able to protect yourself from the government, which by the looks of things, ought to come in handy very soon.

U.S. Dept. of Agriculture issues request for .40 cal submachine guns

Wikipedia

Joe Newby
Policy & Issues Examiner May 15, 2014

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a solicitation request for an undisclosed number of .40 caliber submachine guns, Guns Save Lives reported Thursday.
According to the request, the federal agency is seeking weapons that are either semi-automatic or fire 2-shot bursts. The weapons should also be equipped with tritium night sights on the front and rear and rails for attaching a flashlight and scope. According to the request, the firearms should also have either a folding or collapsible stock and a 30-round magazine. The request also says weapons should have an oversized trigger guard for gloved operation.
Dan Cannon said the U.S. Forest Service and its law enforcement division is the "most likely landing place for these firearms." But, he added, the Forest Service is not mentioned in the request.
Nevertheless, one must wonder why the federal agency would need so much firepower.
We reached out to Linda F.B. Josey, head of the USDA's Procurement Management Branch, but received an autoreply stating she was out for training. We also reached out to Desiree Clayton, the contracting officer listed as the secondary point of contact. So far, the only response we have received is an automated reply saying Clayton is "not in the office at this time."
The USDA is by no means the first agency to request such firepower. And it's not just guns being purchased by federal agencies. There is also a tremendous amount of ammunition being sucked up by the federal government.
Recently, Newsmax reported that the U.S. Postal Service joined the growing list of domestic agencies stocking up on what many say is an alarming amount of small-arms ammunition. Just over a year ago, the Social Security Administration requested 174,000 rounds of ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow-point" bullets. The Department of Agriculture also requested 320,000 rounds. Even the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration jumped on the ammo-purchase bandwagon with a request for 46,000 rounds.
A post at America's Freedom Fighters says NOAA only has 134 agents. NOAA says it needs these agents armed in order to protect “marine resources” and enforce “international treaties.”
"NOAA — really? They have a need? One just doesn't know why they're doing this," said Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. "The problem is, all these agencies have their own SWAT teams, their own police departments, which is crazy. In theory, it was supposed to be the U.S. marshals that was the armed branch for the federal government."
The requests and purchases for high-power weaponry and ammunition have many wondering what the federal government is up to.
“I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,” said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Washington-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “The amount of ammunition they’re buying up far exceeds their needs. It far exceeds what they’ll use — they’ll never use it all.“
A post at Truth Revolt wondered: "[W]hom are [the USDA] planning to go to war with?"

Why Does the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Need Submachine Guns? Brewing Western States Land-Use Battle?

By Norvell Rose
10:32 am May 15, 2014

AWR Hawkins over at Brietbart.com does a good job keeping his eye on the increasing militarization of the federal bureaucracy. How more and more government agencies and departments are acquiring lots of guns and ammo.
The latest federal bureaucracy to arm up is the Department of Agriculture, according to Hawkins’ story “Dept of Agriculture Orders Submachine Guns with 30-Round Magazines”.

A May 7th solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks “the commercial acquisition of submachine guns [in] .40 Cal. S&W.”

So, you might reasonably be wondering, why does the Ag. Dept. need such weaponry? Could it have anything to do with the USDA agency, the Forest Service? Recently, in New Mexico, the Otero County Commission defied the agency and ordered the local sheriff to open a Forest Service gate to allow cattle to access much-needed water. (You can read our story here.)
And of course, other Western state land-use issues have cropped up, pitting locals against feds. The Bundy ranch confrontation was the highest profile such case.

USDA Orders Ballistic Body Armor

By Steve Straub On May 16, 2014 · 187 Comments · In US



A May 7th solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks “the commercial acquisition of ballistic vests, compliant with NIJ 0101.06 for Level IIIA Ballistic Resistance of body armor.” The solicitation reads:

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General, located in Washington, DC and Regional Offices, pursuant to the authority of FAR Part 13, has a requirement for the commerical acquisition of ballist vests, compliant with NIJ 0101.06 for Level IIIA Ballistic Resistance of body armor.

All responsible and/or interested sources may submit their company name, point of contact, and telephone number. If received timely, shall be considered by the agency for contact.

Why do you think the USDA needs body armor and sub-machine guns?
