Saw that this morning and said WTF?

[Streck-Fu]

Going to help the FDA go after those organic farmers and raw milk cults because SWAT/SRT....

[fng13]

They should get HK to start making mp5 .40's again or maybe they can just borrow off the FBI. Either way the market needs more parts kits.

I'd think with the impending doom of the range wars they'd be looking at more of a belt-fed option than sub guns ;) :D

[Snaquebite]

Now that I think about it...Forestry Service? But, don't they operate under their own budget?

[Golf1echo]

Getting our race approvals through USFS on a local level they are Dept of Agriculture, as said. They actually have quite a few enforcement slots.

Over the years I understood " The Forest service is about preservation and the Park Service is about recreation."

[Javadrinker]

interesting .. more and more law enforcement "NEEDS" fully automatic weapons but the citizens do not need guns. wtf?

An SMG is a CQB weapon, unless I am mistaken.

That means indoor engagements, probably SWAT like.

Any guy roaming outside or looking for a patrol gun would be much better off with an M-4.

A lot of shit goes down in chicken coops and dairy farms

[Ambush Master]

That was EXACTLY my thought when I read that.

Actually I prefer a 12 gauge pump at CQB but I am not a CQB expert by any stretch of the imagination. My idea of room clearing is throw in a WP and move on.

Shotguns are a Bitch to Silence!!!

Can't speak for the chickens but the hogs and cattle tend to run in packs and have been know to pie corners and use shock and awe when cornered. Whats goes on,... on the farm stays on the farm.

It's time for a "DisarmtheFeds.com" website........ some federal agencies do not require weapons........

WTF with a 2 shot burst?

30% cost savings per trigger pull compared to a 3 round burst. They're saving money.

[JamesIkanov]

I'm reminded of when people got very confused as to why the Dept. of energy needed a SWAT team. My best guess is either factory farms, or those nice farmers who dump a couple hundred gallons of left over pig crap/AN fertilizer into rivers.

As for the two round burst thing, I've heard it's popular with some of the feds for control and accuracy versus full auto and three round burst. Then again it's mostly reserved for shoot to kill kinda shit, like HRT/raids and what not as far as I've been told, so I have no idea who or what the department of agriculture needs to be killing? :munchin

[Sdiver]

Could this be the weapon being requested by the USDA ???

:munchin

I'd prefer a 100% cost savings and they close the damn department! :mad:

[Snaquebite]

I'm curious as who the responses will be from. Sounds pretty vague and H&K quit making .40's several years ago IIRC. Is there something out there that fits this request?

There is a .40 conversion for the UMP I believe.

We won't need submachine guns once we figure out how to disarm everyone all you really need is some jackboots and a leather wrapped lead sap...

I am so looking forward to opressing the weak !!!

LOL, good one

[GratefulCitizen]

The Feds are getting gun and ammo manufacturers dependent upon government contracts.
They'll take out loans to expand their businesses, and need revenue to service these loans.

Later, there will be a gun control push on the supply side.
Whoever doesn't play ball loses their contract, and goes out of business.

Government creep slowly working on the American psyche on disarming ourselves and using situations like the Bundy ranch situation to justify the need for firearms.

[cat in the hat]

almost as much as get produces in the whitehouse and congress.

almost.

[JJ_BPK]

I am trying to think up a joke regarding the Department of Agriculture using potato guns.

Ya can't shoot tatters without a-salt-guns..

:D:lifter:lifter:D

Damn, why didn't the USDA get this kind of stuff when I worked for them?
