Washington, DC – After a backlash of complaints from concerned citizens, Oklahoma Congressman Jim Bridenstine puts the USDA on notice that he wants an explanation why the farm business development department of the U.S. Government needs an unknown quantity of .40 Cal. S&W submachine guns?
Says Congressman Jim Bridenstine “The fear of my constituents is that the USDA is expanding outside of its Intended mission.”
Speculating on their answer Bob Owens writes:
“They will no doubt attempt to justify their purchase of military hardware by explaining that they conduct criminal investigations and may need to do armed raids” , adding, “This is part of a trend to arm every branch of federal government, whether the individual agency has a legitimate need for a paramilitary force or not.”
Perhaps it’s nothing more than coincidence that just last month a feisty Nevada rancher named Cliven Bundy, together with a horse-riding posse of cowboys, squared off against the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over a little parcel of government property that Bundy claimed as his own and miraculously emerged victorious.
Judging by the timing of the USDA’s request for submachine guns, just one month after the Bundy embarrassment, it seems that the USDA, which oversees America’s vast tracks of forested land, may be preparing itself in the event some cowboys want their heads of cattle to munch government-owned grass.
Concerns over large ammunition purchases by the Department of Homeland Security have raged over the past two years, although a recent Government Accountability Office investigationdownplayed the issue as nothing out of the ordinary.

Silly people how do you the think the CIA gets arms for the “the right side” . Like arming the Syrians who armed ISIL . The Qatari’s were sold stinger missiles now in the hands of the Taliban.The missile serial number was found from a 2011 sale to Qatar , used against a U.S. Chinook helicopter July 25 2012 in Afghanistan.
Jim Bridenstine claims to be for limited federal government, yet he just voted against a bill that would end DEA raids on Medical Marijuana dispensaries in states where it’s legalized. Jim Bridenstine is a liar and hypocrite.
Does anyone remember when Obama was on the stump in 2008? He said we need a civilian authority as powerful as our military. In 1935 Germany these were known as “brownshirts”. Is that where we are heading with all the arming of USDA and others and the purchase of billions of rounds of ammunition?
I wonder how many of S&W’s top reps is smoozing the USDA? Hey if they do get the MGs I’m applying because you know they’ll need plenty of hands on MG and tactical training.
Darren, you also need to understand that there are millions of Veterans out here and WE know how to use all that hardware and WE know how the military works.
The real question is how many military personnel and government agency personnel will obey an order to attack American citizens. In the beginning most will obey orders, seeing the action as isolated incidences of crackpots acting out against the government but as the crisis grows more and more personnel will begin to see the true picture and switch sides.
