On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted details of a no bid contract with weapons manufacturer Sig Sauer, worth $4.5 million over the next five years.
The contract is identical to the one DHS announced last week with Heckler & Koch.
Both contracts are for $900,000 worth of “replacement parts” a year, for weapons used by DHS agents.
While it is hard to imagine how or why a domestic agency could anticipate firing their weapons enough over the next five years to need $1.8 million annually in replacement parts, the DHS documents clearly state their need to “stock sufficient quantities of parts needed to fulfill the quantities of parts anticipated to be ordered.”
In April 2012, DHS purchased $143,000 worth of submachine guns from Heckler & Koch.
See the details of that contract…
Of course, this comes on the heels of the news that DHS is purchasing 2,717 ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for urban use.
In light of the Obama administration‘s push for gun-grabbing legislation, a flurry of “multi-agency training drills” inside our cities and towns, the dismissal of several well-respected military leaders and the purchase of urban tanks, along with 2 billion rounds of ammunition…one need not be a conspiracy theorist to be genuinely concerned about the imminent threat to our freedoms, as well as to our very lives.
Is this where MY tax money is going? I did not authorize this. Did you?
absolutely NOT, 5 War Veteran!! And, they aren’t going to take away MY guns and protection!
It is my intent to my last breath I will not let it happen. I am also sure that there are many veterans that are with me as well.
