A May 7th solicitation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeks "the commercial acquisition of submachine guns [in] .40 Cal. S&W."
According to the solicitation, the Dept. of Agriculture wants the guns to have an "ambidextrous safety, semiautomatic or 2 round [bursts] trigger group, Tritium night sights front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore group) and scope (top rear), stock collapsible or folding," and a "30 rd. capacity" magazine.
We need them to control varmints. Yup, varmints.
Maybe they're going elk hunting...
They also want the submachine guns to have a "sling," be "lightweight," and have an "oversized trigger guard for gloved operation."
Those varmints got big teeth. We need gloves.
The solicitation directs "all responsible and/or interested sources...[to] submit their company name, point of contact, and telephone." Companies that submit information in a "timely" fashion "shall be considered by the agency for contact to determine weapon suitability."
Further militarization of gubmint agencies. Is this Obama's Volksgrenadiers?
