U.S.
Postal Service Announces Giant Ammo Purchase

UPDATE: Since the
publication of this
article, the USPS has amended its pre-solicitation, claiming that
the ammunition is a "standard purchase" for the Postal Police. This
does not explain, however, why the Postal Police was not listed in the
original notice if this is standard.
The
Education Dept. has spent over $80,000 so far on Glock pistols and over
$17,000 on Remington shotguns.
Back in July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
also
purchased 72,000 rounds of .40 Smith & Wesson, following a 2012
purchase for 46,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point by the
National Weather Service.
As the federal government grows larger, more and
more federal agencies such as the Dept. of Education and NOAA are
forming and arming their own "law enforcement divisions" with hundreds
of thousands spent on full-blown arsenals. Even the EPA has its own SWAT teams conducting raids on
peaceful Americans. Expect to see more large-scale firearm and
ammunition purchases by these bureaucracies as they become even more
militarized.
| I
imagine that most of today's lofos have no memory of the Clinton 90's
when, seemingly, not a month went by without some disgruntled postal
employee going berserk and shooting dead his boss and coworkers.
Too
bad, since those memories add a little gallows humor to an
otherwise
not funny at all news item about arming postal workers. |
