Going Postal: The Post Office wants ammunition after Senator’s proposal

Going postal, in American English slang, means becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment.

In the oddest solicitation to date, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has submitted a pre-solicitation notice for ammunition to add to its inventory of government supplies.

Never, in the last ten years, has the USPS posted solicitations for ammunition of any kind via the government’s Federal Business Online website.

Other agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and theNational Weather Service have made unusually large purchases of .40 caliber S&W ammunition, and agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have made purchases of military grade weaponry that far exceeds any demonstrable need.

It can be assumed that the USPS is jumping on the lead and brass bandwagon, despite being billions of dollars in debt, and unable to pay its retirees their pensions.

Going Postal

In 1972, the USPS requested and received permission to make all US Post Offices “Gun Free Zones”, and have even claimed regulatory authority through the parking lot and even to the public sidewalk beyond. However, since that went into effect, it was not the average citizen that caused unnecessary deaths, but rather, their own past and present employees:

• Edmond, Oklahoma in 1986
• Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1991
• Royal Oak, Michigan in 1991
• Double event in 1993
• Goleta, California, in 2006
• Baker City, Oregon, in 2006

In total, 40 postal workers and family members have been killed by current and former employees. This is where the phrase, “going postal” came from.

With this current solicitation, speculation exists if the USPS will be manning high traffic areas now that Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s amendment to the Postal Reform Bill to allow Concealed Weapon Holders to lawfully carry in Post Offices.

This pre-solicitation comes two days after Paul’s proposed the ban removal.

Going postal may now take on a whole different meaning the next time you’re at the Post Office.
