Why Does The USDA Need Submachine Guns?

by JASmius

Well, now, there's a fair question:

Following the [Commissariat of Farm Collectives'] May 7 solicitation for submachine guns with 30-round magazine clips, Representative Jim Bridenstine is demanding an explanation.

"The fear of my constituents is that the USDA is expanding outside of its intended mission," the Oklahoma[-1] Republican wrote the agency on Wednesday.

I could answer Representative Bradenstine's question, but the following website beat me to it:

According to AmmoLand Shooting Sports News, the timing of the USDA request for the weaponry is suspect, coming "just one month after the [Cliven] 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," the website stated.

The Agency Formerly Known As The Department of Agriculture before its "fundamental transformation" defended its arming itself past the teeth against ordinary, law-abiding American citizens, of course, by insinuating that ordinary, law-abiding American citizens are all potential fraudsters, thieves, extortionists, smugglers, and, of course, violent maniacs.  You know, like Clive Bundy.

I could add to that insightful, expert analysis, but Bob Owens beat me to the punchline:

"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."

One thing to which nobody has beaten me (to my knowledge, anyway) is a summation, so let's tally this up:

1) The Obama Regime is disarming the U.S. military;
2) The Obama Regime is bent on disarming law-abiding U.S. citizens;

....but....

3) The Obama Regime is determined to "fundamentally transform" every federal domestic bureaucratic agency into a Waffen-SS.

Conclusion?  Well, gosh, it sure seems like the Obama Regime sees its duty to "protect the American people" as being against "enemies" not foreign, but entirely domestic.

And they've already heavily armed the IRS, too.  Hmmm....
