Dept of Agriculture needs submachine guns....

Posted by David Hardy · 17 May 2014 09:13 AM

The request for bids is here. They don't want just any subguns, these must be in .40 S&W, with tritium night sights, rails for flashlights, enlarged trigger guard for winter operations with gloves.

The solicitation is on behalf of their Office of Inspector General, the watchdog office that searches for fraud, waste, and abuse. So they must anticipate needed full auto fire while investigating departmental employees, or perhaps while investigating abuse of food stamps. Although it seems hard to imagine either group shooting back with a Thompson while shouting "you'll never take me alive, G-men!"

There's always a first time for everything, although I imagine two federal agents having a shootout with one another has already been done.

It escapes me why the USDA requires the existence of a SWAT Team within its TO&E. Angry bovines perhaps?? Anyhow, the same bewilderment exists with regard to the EPA, Dept of ED. etc. On the other hand, if the government were to deal fairly and honestly with us rather than literally forcing things at gunpoint the necessity of a SWAT Team may not exist.
