DHS running with Scissors

DHS running with Scissors

Anyone catch this from the Department of Homeland Security?

Green Beret tip of the day # 38
Never ever confront an armed mass murderer with a pair of scissors.

You know someone in the Department of Homeland Security is making 85k a year thinking up these gems.

Morons.

Has anyone called 3M? Maybe they're working on a bullet-proof post-it note.

Brings back memories.
Back in the 5th grade, when left unsupervised for too long, we would engage in stapler fights (melee, not ranged).

Wasted staples and blood-stained clothes resulted in a scolding.
Now kids get expelled for bringing a plastic toy gun to school.

You know, I did not see that category of office supplies at SHOT Show this year. But maybe by next year they will have the Tactical Office Supplies section.

Great business opportunity. Thanks DHS!
