DHS To Buy 7,000 “Assault Weapons” “Personal Defense Weapons”
Freedom Outpost
If you will notice, DHS is also soliciting for “commercial items” that use “5.56x45mm NATO ammunition.” Again, the hypocrisy is astounding. Aren’t we being told by people like Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that these are “military style weapons,” not “commercial items”? Isn’t she the one proclaiming that these don’t need to be on our streets, but in the theater of war? Yet, it appears those in government want to take a “Do as I say, not as I do” approach to telling us what we can and cannot have when it pertains to the Second Amendment. They want them on the streets, in the airports, at the bus stop and on trains, as long as it’s in the hands of their hirelings. Additionally, the solicitation refers to these “commercial items” as ““Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) – 5.56x45mm NATO, select-fire firearm suitable for personal defense use in close quarters and/or when maximum concealment is required.” In other words, these weapons can be set for single shot or multiple shots with one pull of the trigger. DHS is also requesting high capacity magazines that “have a capacity to hold thirty (30) 5.56x45mm NATO rounds.” Following a major gun control law passed in New York City, New York State Senator Greg Ball (R) brought attention to the weapons request in a press release. Ball also pointed to the civilian version of these weapons and how they have been used as “personal defense weapons” when he said:
While people like Dianne Feinstein and Vice President Joe Biden think the American public aren’t capable of handling such weapons and don’t need them for personal defense, that is exactly what DHS is getting them for. I ask you, why do DHS agents need these weapons? Why do they need high capacity magazines? Are they facing a major threat here in America they have not made the public aware of? Why is Joe Biden not telling them that they are “dangerous” and even though they may know what they are doing with them, they should instead carry a double barreled shotgun? That’s all they need for protection anyways, right? Sen. Feinstein said last week that the long term goal of her legislation is to “dry up the supply of these weapons.” Reports abounded about the federal agencies acquiring massive amounts of ammunition last year, including DHS. Currently this is a low time of year for production of ammunition, but do you think these requests have anything to do with it? How about firearms? Yes, there is a tremendous demand by the public, but when the government gets involved and starts spending our money on these weapons, what do you think the purpose is in acquiring them? I’m not drawing a particular conclusion. I just simply ask you to take a step back and evaluate what we are being spoon fed. If you are awake, you will make appropriate measures for your future.

v.8
no that don’t fly with me,they should obey the same rules as people do,why are they buying these guns,to turn on the people if need be.
Let the stooges have the AR-15′s. I will take my 30-06 or 7mm mag either of which will blow straight through their armour vests or kill 300-400 yards beyond an AR’s range. For CQB I will stick with an AK or a 12 gauge shotgun. Yes an AR has great accessories but the man holding the weapon, his knowledge and training mean more than all the fancy gear money can buy.
Call them what they are….Machine Guns…
My AR is not a machine gun.
The fix is beyond the ballot box. Semper Fi. III
The mfgs. should refuse to sell them, since they are aleady trying to interfer with mfgs ability have them available to general population. G.
They bought over a billion $$ worth of 40 cal JHP Next request for bid will be 1/2 a billion or more 5.56×45.
