The Department of Education has issued a solicitation for...well, here, I'll let them tell you:
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to purchase twenty-seven (27) REMINGTON BRAND MODEL 870 POLICE 12/14P MOD GRWC XS4 KXCS SF. RAMAC #24587 GAUGE: 12 BARREL: 14" - PARKERIZED CHOKE: MODIFIED SIGHTS: GHOST RING REAR WILSON COMBAT; FRONT - XS CONTOUR BEAD SIGHT STOCK: KNOXX REDUCE RECOIL ADJUSTABLE STOCK FORE-END: SPEEDFEED SPORT-SOLID - 14" LOP are designated as the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
A 14" barrel is something denied to We the People. Unless our registration is approved and we pay a tax...
NFA '34 said so. And why?
The $200 making and transfer taxes on most NFA firearms were considered quite severe and adequate to carry out Congress’ purpose to discourage or eliminate transactions in these firearms.
The Miller ruling upheld it. Even though the "reasoning" was wrong.
And let's not forget the accusation of shortening barrels illegally was the catalyst for the government killing Randy Weaver's wife and son.
They really don't want us having these. But they want them for themselves. Why?
I join my colleague Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman in asking "Why does Department of Education need 12-gauge shotguns?" Except I would insert "the hell" between "Why" and "does."
Per Workman's article:
A spokesperson for the Department of Education says the guns are for use by officers with the agency’s Office of Inspector General. They have full federal law enforcement authority, and the IG’s office investigates “waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations.”
And why do they have "full federal law enforcement authority"?

Only if you're a teacher. Everybody else is still heavily armed. At least in my inner city high school.
It’s getting more difficult to enforce truancy policies?
“Why does Department of Education need 12-gauge shotguns?”
But it’s illegal to put a shoulder stock on an AOW.
How many do they already have in the "existing shotgun inventory"?
True. Coolidge for President!
Could you post the link to that article? I was looking for it when I found your post in this thread. After this health bill making the IRS the gestapo for healthcare, I’m wondering what they play to do with these guns for education. It appears they play ahead; thus the guns for DOE is worrisome. Thanks
