The SBA loaded up their arsenals with Glock pistols. The Fish folks spent approximately $410,000 on their Glocks and rifles and modified their Glocks with silencers.

The Department of Health and Human Services was outfitted with sophisticated weaponry normally carried by Special Forces, stored at an undisclosed location.

Others include:

Department of Energy: approximately $50,000 worth of M-16 fully automatic rifles

General Services Administration: approximately $16,000 in shotguns and Glocks

Bureau of Reclamations: approximately $697,000 for firearms and ammunition

EPA: almost $70,000 for ammunition

Smithsonian: approximately $42,500 for ammunition

Social Security: approximately $61,000 for ammunition

$426,268 on hollow-point bullets, including orders from the Forest Service, National Park Service, Office of Inspector General, Bureau of Fiscal Service, as well as Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshals, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The latter three, sure, but the Forest Service, National Park Service, and Inspector General's Office?

Bureau of Engraving and printing: approximately $100,000 on firearms

U.S. Mint: almost $180,000 for ammunition

Bureau of Fiscal Services: approximately $672,000 on ammunition and firearms

Department of Agriculture: $1.1 million for weapons and ammunition

You should recall from history that does not work very well. The Nazis started killing Jews that way and it took too much time, so they switched to other “more efficient” means. There’s another big difference, Jews didn’t have weapons, we do. I’ll take a .308 rifle over a full auto M-16 any day. Our military doesn’t even issue full auto M-16s or M-4s any longer. (same lower receiver). I doubt the government under Obama was buying M249’s, but I could be incorrect about that.

"Trump now controls all of those agencies and arms"

And if you actually believe that Trump can find any of those guns and ammo immediately, I want to talk to you about a bridge in London.

I knew a guard that worked in a famous prison here in Louisiana. He said the warden would occasionally order crates of shotguns, rifles, handguns, and ammunition for the armory using prison funds (taxpayer money). Some of this went in the armory, but much just “disappeared”. The story was that the warden was giving these to family, friends, and sometimes as bribes to politicians and gov. officials for favors.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if most of the guns and ammo bought by these fed agencies wound up the same way.

He probably purchased them but had it shipped to foreign countries and made a fortune for himself. Some smart investigative reporter should check and see if these agencies actually have it.

Yes, the citizens can “only” get “semi-auto”. IMO, “full auto” is over-rated and only wastes ammo.

Yes it is. And there is a need to get close enough to make it effective such as for suppression. I'd prefer to shoot at them from 1,000 yards. I have a lot of 6.5 Creedmore handloads ready to go.

True, if anything they are trying to destroy it or rewrite it without first knowing it.

You must be talking about Angola.

What do you get with each new government program or department? You get waste, fraud, abuse, and outright theft. So, every department of the government also has to have an OIG (Office of Inspector General) and officers to investigate and arrest those who rip off the programs. All of these officers are armed, and they all have to practice a certain amount of time every year. This is why they buy all the ammo. There is no giant conspiracy here.

I’m thinking it’s almost a surety that black lives matter and antifa and organizing for America have those guns. And Obama knows were each and every one of them is and how much ammunition a.m. It is his army.
