Saw that this morning and said WTF?

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

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

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

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."

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