» Social Security Administration To Purchase 174 Thousand Rounds Of Hollow Point Bullets Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Quote:

First it was the Department of Homeland Security, then it was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and now the Social Security Administration is set to purchase 174,000 rounds of hollow point bullets that will be delivered to 41 locations across the country.

They will all have brown shirts on one day, carrying their Glock and M16 (whatever the lastest version is) fully automatic weapons. They will stand proud for the POTUS because he will be guiding all of them in how to handle the huddled masses. Do you think the politicians are watching Syria realizing that that could be the US one day?

Wonder where the Syrian rebals are getting their automatic weapons from?

About 4200 pieces per location or roughly 84 retail boxes. I have more ammunition than that in each of several calibers .
Armed security at all Federal offices sounds like a good idea to me. Further more, their being qualified to shoot that ammunition sounds like an even better idea. Qualifying takes practice, practice takes............ (fill in the blank, 10 points credit.)

Aside from the fact that so many people despise the IRS anyway, they are charged with enforcing the individual mandate. I doubt JHPs will be necessary, but you never know.

Confused: IRS isn't even mentioned in the article, only Social Security is. As far as armed security in Federal offices -- big waste of money. That's what local police forces and phones are for.

Plenty of entities provoke anger (collections law firms, anyone?) but make do without armed security. I don't see why government or its employees should be special or deserving of extra protection.

And everyone knows that the government installations and employee's have to be protected from the raping, deficating, unwashed, crackheads Occupy/Obama 99% armies!

Who is the collector for Social Security?

I had a couple of IRS CID types come to my office a couple of years ago questioning me about a shareholder dispute which I never actually did any work for. You could clearly see the shoulder holster under the man's suit. I don't know where the female agent was carrying hers.

AFAIK, the average examiner/auditor doesen't carry a weapon....at least not to the CPA's office. He'll be pretty safe there.

I had an FBI agent come in a few months ago with a subpoena for a client's tax returns. I guess he was wearing a leg holster. "Here they are. Have a nice day!"

Absolutely right Billy, or do you prefer the more formal Mr. Bob?

Bizarre logic: the article didn't mention the IRS buying bullets. SSA is SSA. IRS is IRS. Let's say someone owes me a debt. I buy a gun. I also hire a collection agency to collect the debt. Should it be assumed that the collection agency is buying guns because I bought a gun?

If IRS were buying bullets, the article would mention that the IRS was buying bullets.

Um, no, that's NOT what local police forces are for. [sic]

Perhaps you're not aware that wherever federal property is, they have exclusive jurisdiction of the premises? Local PDs have no power, authority or jurisdiction there. The feds may invite them in (the rarest of events), but otherwise they have nothing to do with it.

We should change the law to allow for local police protection. Unless it's a facility engaged in classified activity or the employees themselves are Federal agents, we could save on pensions and salaries of thousands of "rent-a-cops" on the Federal payrolls.

The average Social Security office is no larger than many business establishments surrounding it, and doesn't even handle cash.

The only IRS employees who are authorized to carry firearms are "special agents," who are sworn law enforcement officers who work on criminal cases. As of last year there were only 2,725 of those, making up just under 3 percent of all IRS employees.

» DHS Classifies New Ammo Purchases Following Controversy Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Quote:

The Department of Homeland Security has redacted information relating to the quantity of bullets it is buying following a controversy concerning the agency’s purchase of over a billion rounds of ammo, which many fear is a sign the federal government is preparing for civil unrest in the United States.

Despite the fact that documents are only supposed to be redacted if authorized by Congress or for national security reasons, a solicitation posted on the FedBizOpps website yesterday concerning ammunition purchases made by the DHS on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) contains numerous blacked out sections.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
