AmmoLandWashington, DC – After a backlash of complaints from concerned citizens, Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine puts the USDA on notice that he wants an explanation why the farm business development department of the U.S. Government needs an unknown quantity of .40 Cal. S&W submachine guns?
Says Congressman Jim Bridenstine “The fear of my constituents is that the USDA is expanding outside of its Intended mission.”
Speculating on their answer Bob Owens writes:
“They will no doubt attempt to justify their purchase of military hardware by explaining that they conduct criminal investigations and may need to do armed raids” , adding, “This is part of a trend to arm every branch of federal government, whether the individual agency has a legitimate need for a paramilitary force or not.”
Perhaps it’s nothing more than coincidence that just last month a feisty Nevada rancher named Cliven Bundy, together with a horse-riding posse of cowboys, squared off against the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over a little parcel of government property that Bundy claimed as his own and miraculously emerged victorious.
Judging by the timing of the USDA’s request for submachine guns, just one month after the Bundy embarrassment, it seems that the USDA, which oversees America’s vast tracks of forested land, may be preparing itself in the event some cowboys want their heads of cattle to munch government-owned grass.
Concerns over large ammunition purchases by the Department of Homeland Security have raged over the past two years, although a recent Government Accountability Office investigation downplayed the issue as nothing out of the ordinary.

No need to ask why. Just arrest them for treason. Enough talk. Enough of the dog and pony show distraction. ENFORCE the damn law!!!
The question I have, is what authority or law enables ANY department or regulatory agency to issue firearms to it’s members. All the department head has to do is issue a memo? What department gets to arm up next?
Will the Census Bureau be next with armed agents entering your house demanding that you answer their questions?
Will the Commission of Fine Arts have a militarized SWAT team to defend against Not So Fine Arts?
Will the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforce quotas at the point of a gun?
Does the Geographic Names Board really have problems with people not using the correct names for geographic areas?
Have things gotten so dangerous for the Japan-United States Friendship Commission that they need to defend themselves against unfriendly Japanese?
And I can just see the armed mobs attacking the National Library of Medicine that they need to protect themselves from.
And lets not forget the Peace Corps. Those guys are really in need of machine guns.
