Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?
By Charles McFarlane of Modern Farmer
Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?
“Submachine guns, .40 Cal. S&W, ambidextrous safety, semi-automatic or 2 shot bur[s]t trigger group, Tritium night sights for front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore grip) and scope (top rear), stock-collapsib[l]e or folding, magazine - 30 rd. capacity.”
In May, the USDA's Office of Inspector General filed a request for these weapons. But why exactly do they need them?
According to a USDA press rep, the guns are necessary for self-protection.
“OIG Special Agents regularly conduct undercover operations and surveillance. The types of investigations conducted by OIG Special Agents include criminal activities such as fraud in farm programs; significant thefts of Government property or funds; bribery and extortion; smuggling; and assaults and threats of violence against USDA employees engaged in their official duties,” wrote a USDA spokesperson.
Those seem like legitimate enforcement activities, but still: submachine guns? Not everyone believes the USDA being armed to the teeth is justifiable. On Aug. 2, the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund launched a petition to support a bill that would curb the ability of agencies like the USDA to arm themselves. They see it as overkill and scare tactics, especially for smaller producers.
“What we have seen happen, with the FDA especially, is they have come onto small farms, raw milk producers, and raided the heck out of them with armed agents present,” says Liz Reitzig, co-founder of the Farm Food Freedom Coalition. “Do we really want to have our federal regulatory agencies bring submachine guns onto these family farms with children?”
The Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund petition focuses on two now infamous blows to the raw milk community – the 2010 and 2011 raids on Rawsome Food Club in Venice, California. These raids were carried out by armed federal agents, from the FDA and other agencies.
The OIG’s Investigation Development bulletins show there have been three incidents in the last year that involved firearms and two in which USDA agents were verbally threatened. Still, most of their enforcement operations surround white-collar fraud of government programs, often involving SNAP programs. “If there is fraud in the SNAP program, look at how it is implemented and make changes in the entire program,” says Reitzig. “Don’t bring machine guns onto farms.”
The Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund are not the only ones interested in taking guns out of the hands of USDA agents. Utah Congressman Chris Stewart is the sponsor of the bill on the FTCLDF petition. “At its heart it comes down to this: To myself, and for a lot of Americans, there is great concern over regulator agencies with heavy handed capabilities,” Rep. Stewart told Modern Farmer.
His bill, H.R. 4934, hopes “to prohibit certain federal agencies from using or purchasing certain firearms, and for other purposes.” When asked about the USDA’s plan for submachine guns, he said, “I can’t envision a scenario where what they are doing would require that.”
Another concern is simply accountability. The request for submachine guns from the USDA doesn’t say how many guns — asking them seems like a non-starter. “They have been very unhelpful in trying to find out any information about this,” said Rep. Stewart. “We couldn’t get answers — it doesn’t seem right to me.”
However, he also cautioned: “We have never argued that federal regulators don’t need to protect themselves.” But if USDA investigations were perceived to be potentially violent he suggested, “They should do what the rest of us do, call the local sheriff.”

Q: What role would these guys play if the Muzzies invaded Iowa?
Just curious.....
For starters, the HMQRTF (Halal Meat Quick Reaction Task Force), a shadowy branch of the USDA, would be going Subway Store to Subway Store making sure the Sharia rules are being followed to the letter of the law.
Secondly, they would probably lend a hand in security efforts for the upcoming Hillary Clinton Iowa Caucus meetings and such.
Another thing, stupidity is a randomly give weapons to government agents.
My family are farmers, early learned to hunt armadillo, paca, deer, know the terrain like no other.
Most farmers have the best aim that edge snypers.
Know the wind direction and terrain conditions after all, were born there.
A single farmer with rifle quietly killing more than ten guys with machine gun and back home without pangs of conscience.
He knows he is defending his land.
Have you seen much game drop dead, if it is two or four legs makes no difference.
These words may seem harsh to those who live in New York or another big city, but this is the reality of people who live in the countryside.
:-)
Problem with that is they have all the good gear- night vision, heat signture identification, coms, helicopters and all the other logistics- makes it easier to track you and triangulate where those shots came from- yeah, i don't disagree farmers and many from the country have solid skills with firearms and orientation in the wilderness etc, but the .govs DO have serious logistic, manpower and hardware presence. It would really take the whole community of farmers or like minded people to "persuade" them the error of their ways.
-My .02C
If it ever came down to it they are only going to get one shot at the farmer's anyways. Don't underestimate resourceful people's ability to advise and adapt in assymetrical situations.
They have no answer for bandana man. A monopoly of force cannot exist.
You think we fools of fields do not have it?
Many fought in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. .
Places you would not believe. ...
hehe.
They don't live on base and don't take all that gear home with them.
armadillo..really...I though the only legal weapon for those was the F150.
They wont have much answer for tiger traps filled with punji sticks covered in bull semen.
Rifle quietly killing?....silenced?
Look up filter trap adapter, hydraulic filter, and subsonic load.
all about proportionate response - i think i would allow the USDA nukes around capitol hill
ok, i am joking; that could be too tempting a way for the USDA to take over government
After the international banksters were able to take back control over the American public "money" supply, as symbolized by the creation of the Federal Reserve Board, backed up by income tax, in 1913, everything else has automatically been on an exponential growth curve towards the imposition of democidal martial law to eventually attempt to consolidate that control.
I regard it as basically being simple: the principles and methods of organized crime were systematically and persistently applied to the American political processes, so that the best organized gangs of criminals were able to make sure that all the successful and surviving politicians were puppets performing for muppets.
Since the SOURCE of the public "money" supply was privatized, there has been one war based on deceit after another in order to back up that debt slavery system. Since that debt slavery system had a structure which necessarily drove the generation of numbers which became debt insanities, there is no way within that entrenched system than to attempt to back it up with death insanities.
All of the militarization of the American police is headed towards the goal of being able to impose democidal martial law on the American people, to make sure that the international banksters' global systems can continue to consolidate control. There is no way to avoid that, since every different social and environmental insanity is converging towards the runaway debt insanity driving death insanities. The USDA Buying Submachine Guns is another facet of the preparations for this overall agenda:

Making You an Agent of the State
By Preston James, September 21, 2014.
Ever since the First Gulf War, US Government Institutions hijacked by City of London Rothschild controlled World Zionists have been doing everything feasible to create as many “Agents of the State” in America as possible. ...
The folks who control the US Government (USG) and the Major Mass media have created and dispensed a phony, Big Lie “War on Terror Narrative” to transform as many Americans into Agents of the State as possible. Those who refuse to become “Agents of the State” and speak out against the USG, Homeland Security, the Patriot Act or the National Defense Authorization Act in any way will or express unhappiness with the Militarization of the American Police become officially labelled Domestic Terrorists, potential Domestic Terrorists and will be treated as “Enemies of the State.” ...
This “War on Terror” Narrative is perhaps the Greatest Psyop ever in the History of the World and was designed to make you and everyone else in America an Agent of the State, their State since they hijacked America in 1913. And since they deployed their 9/11/01 Gladio-style, inside-job, False-Flag attack with the help of a select set of Dual and Triple Citizen Traitors, Traitors in the JCS, USAF, NORAD and the FAA, they have been pulling out all the stops to inculcate the phony narrative of the War on Terror in as many naive American dupes as possible.
In order to fully understand this Massive Psyop, the Phony War on Terror False Narrative Big USG Lie, it is necessary to ask and answer many questions about what it is comprised of. But first folks must understand that the Major Mass media has been hijacked as in your enemy, a major Mind-kontrol tool promoting Secret Shadow Government Psyops against you and the American people, designed to take away all your Constitutional Rights in this phony, synthetic War on Terror. ...
... Essentially all Americans are being forced to make a choice, either become an Agent of the State, or you will be considered an Enemy of the State. ... The War on Terror Narrative is designed to bifurcate the American People into two groups: Potential and actual Enemies of the State and “True Believers” in this Phony War on Terror narrative ..."
Where i live, it's not even allowed to grow a f*cking fingernail to scratch your itchy parts.
Look at it this way: when things fall apart, your guerilla warfare will be fully loaded. Bitchez.
Small-scale farmers need submachine guns to protect themselves from USDA, FDA, and Monsanto.
Can't have the livestock roaming too far from the farm
The USDA was folded into the Department of Homeland Security by the DHS Act.
Perhaps you can discern the purpose of the DHS once you understand that the DHS is modelled after French Committees of Terror (1792-4), the Judeo-Bolshevik Cheka (GPU, NKVD, KGB et cetera) and the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
For your investigation it also helps to know that the various agencies of the DHS have ordered some 2-3 billion rounds of ammo (enough to supply an Iraqi war for 25 years), bullet proof roadside checkpoint booths, plus other war materiel… all to apprehend a few dozen dim-witted patsies. I mean, that’s what they tell us.
And then there is the ALLIANCE cobbled together by Red China, which is comprised of Mexican and Columbian drug cartels, Chinese Triads, Red army, Chinese communist party and several US government agencies (Congress, DoJ, DEA et cetera). I gained this info from testimony before a Congressional subcommittee.
I suspect that members of this ALLIANCE are standing by to staff the DHS when it is time to collect on the $1.3 Trillion in US Treasuries bought by Red China.
Perhaps you should read my links as if your life depended on them?
You can speculate all you want but there are many other more likely reasons and outcomes other than those you mention. you could be right but you'll have to deeper than "I suspect" to win me over.
"The USDA was folded into the Department of Homeland Security by the DHS Act."
No, it was not. Please try not to post blatantly incorrect information.
Isotope,
I hate to tell you, but you're right.
My memory didn't serve me well; actually, two agencies, formerly under USDA, were transferred to DHS. And I wrongly reported... well, you already know.
What federal agency isn't armed? That is a much shorter list.
Silly Walks?
Your costume and brass jewelry will not save you.
I can't wait to see one of these goons going up against human countermeasures, a pod of roosters, then a goat, then a human with 75,000 volts. You want to talk about asymmetric* combat? On the farm, even a gaily-badged trespasser will be left alive long enough to be trampled by a morgan. Listen to that fuzz head pop.
Bring that shit to me, or one of my raw milk neighbors. Just try it, Mr SMG.
*edited.
Like Congress itself, 'the local sheriff' has become irrelevant. They have given away bits of power over time as one after another local law enforcement officials are lured by federal promises and possibly by outright bribes. (Hey John, you know there could be a place for you in the federal system if you don't challenge us on this one...)
This is a trick to get the usda to go feral. Turn them into power tripping fools.
Because the economy is in a recovery?
It's in a reset.
They want to kill the co-op before it kills grocery.
They are legitimate law enforcement activities -- that should be done by law enforcement officers - not Ag wanna-be cops! Refer those cases to the proper cops!
If all farmers unit and stop growing food for a year, that would change a lot.
Lets face it, every government employee wants to dress up like a Navy Seal and play tough guys. Imagine the fun the agricultural police can have a week long trainign camps! Firing guns, dressing up like combat infantry. Doing practive taking down American farmers. Shoot to kill week control?
This has gone off the charts insane. The evil Police State and it's over paid and under worked employees are desperate to stick a gun in America's face and take them down to the ground.
This makes me fucking sick! Look into the issue of School Cops too some time. Yes, this shit is now in our schools, armed cops in schools. Inner city schools are the excuse to spread the Police State into all schools, very few of which need in house cops. But think of all the high paying, no work load, dress up with guns jobs this extension of police state America will create. We can't educate our kids for shit, but we can stick a gun in their face and tell them to get on their faces and spread 'em. God damn this shit is out of control.
Hey JB, OT, but this is something I would recommend for fun/exercise and as a stable hunting/fishing platform for someone who lives near lots of water as you do. I can envision SHTF scenario benefits as well. Hunter Green on Hunter Green or can camo paint. Quality built in your part of the country. Low maintenance. Check it out.

College campus cops are getting: UM has a $65,000 armored truck, 16 "riot type" 12-gauge shotguns, 49 M16 rifles, and a handful of other items, according to Pentagon data. Coppin received five similar 12-gauge shotguns and 29 40-caliber Glock pistols. Morgan has six 12-gauge shotguns and 13 M16 or M14 rifles.

When the SHTF and those EBT cards stop working, it will take a lot of bullets to protect those USDA offices.
And yourself, because when the entitled can't get what they want, they will come after your resources. Invest in precious metals.... LEAD.
A can of diesel or two randomly placed around your crop of corn or wheat should do the trick. Tubes of grease would work well also. Suck that into the combine and its all trashed. Think of it as crop insurance.
Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?
Do we really need to ask??? Even the janitors in the White House have "ribbon bars" on their uniforms. Every effing warm body in .gov is being militarized...
"We need more arms and bullets to kill more people, as the killing business is good these days."
An American, not US subject.
The American people really need to realize that a choice is coming whether they like it or not: They can wither away in poverty and misery with everyday a fight to just survive or fight to take back the county, the American country, from these treasonous criminals and murderers.
The choice is coming: Persecution or Revolution.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Quit paying, quit obeying, quit playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
Unfortunately, Americans happen to be some of the most dumbed-down retards on the planet. You'll have to compete with their deep-fried chicken-fat sandwich and side of doritos.
It's far too late, half the 'muricans I see can't even stand up from the easy chair.
It may or may not be too late, but I'm going to keep kicking them awake.
An American, not US subject.
Simple. Mad Cow countermeasures. back to sleep drones.
Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?
Who has time to shoot one at a time ?
Truth of the matter is... they see the same things coming that we see coming. The only difference is that they are under the impression that when we all come out the other side of the BIG FLUSH, that they will somehow be relevant, in charge, and still have a big fat gubmit pension to retire on.
Your biggest mistake was leaving the UK.
What a shame that you are now such a fucked up country with no hope of unfuckingup yourselves. The sickness is just too deep.
Luckily, Canada did not go the same way and remains a civilized country worthy of the Queen as head of state.
Never mind eh :-)
Corn stalks can get a little frisky sometimes.
anyone who believes the lies of the dept of agriculture is a total fucktard. the dept of ag is part of homeland security and military force to take over farms. this use of force represents the complete nazification of america. there will be fucktards who tell us that we have to vote republican or democrat to turn the tide, but it is these satanic nazi parties which are the cause of the problem. the ziocons are the puppet masters. the ziocons and jews are the greatest mortal enemy this nation faces. they are the ones orchestrating this communist takeover. it is time to take to the streets.

Are you using Google translate or drugs?
Yes!
You speak Portuguese, French or German?
If you talk in these languages ??I spend my e-mail.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
Don't need guns or boots, need Hellfires and Tomahawks, show them raw milk people what's what.
Nothing to do with article or comment -just wanted to post the following...
UK PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON HAS ASKED THE UN TO FORM A NEW AGENCY TO DEAL WITH NON VIOLENT TERRORISTS. Non violent terrorists include 9/11 truthers- in particular those who link the event to Israel. In his statement he did not use the word Israel- he used Jews. He also mentioned 7/7- an event in the UK. He wants anyone preaching 9/11 or 7/7 "truth" to be dealt with. He wants it banned from universities and he mentioned prisons.
The speech is on a youtube clip. It occured 9/25 so if you search 9/11 with a filter for happening in the last week you may find it. He also talked about banning internet information regarding it!
Run that thru the filter of basic logic. Its actually pretty funny.
Relevant section of his speech to the UN...
"The root cause of this terrorist threat is a poisonous ideology of Islamist extremism. This is nothing to do with Islam, which is a peaceful religion which inspires countless acts of generosity every day. Islamist extremism on the other hand believes in using the most brutal forms of terrorism to force people to accept a warped world view and to live in a quasi-mediaeval state.
To defeat ISIL – and organisations like it - we must defeat this ideology in all its forms.
As evidence emerges about the backgrounds of those convicted of terrorist offences, it is clear that many of them were initially influenced by preachers who claim not to encourage violence, but whose world view can be used as a justification for it. We know this world view.
The peddling of lies: that 9/11 was a Jewish plot or that the 7/7 London attacks were staged. The idea that Muslims are persecuted all over the world as a deliberate act of Western policy. The concept of an inevitable clash of civilisations.
We must be clear: to defeat the ideology of extremism we need to deal with all forms of extremism – not just violent extremism.
For governments, there are some obvious ways we can do this. We must ban preachers of hate from coming to our countries. We must proscribe organisations that incite terrorism against people at home and abroad. We must work together to take down illegal online material like the recent videos of ISIL murdering hostages. And we must stop the so called non-violent extremists from inciting hatred and intolerance in our schools, our universities and yes, even our prisons.
Of course there are some who will argue that this is not compatible with free speech and intellectual inquiry.
But I say: would we sit back and allow right-wing extremists, Nazis or Klu Klux Klansmen to recruit on our university campuses? No.
So we shouldn’t stand by and just allow any form of non-violent extremism. We need to argue that prophecies of a global war of religion pitting Muslims against the rest of the world. These things are nonsense. We need Muslims and their governments around the world to reclaim their religion from these sick terrorists as so many are doing and quite rightly doing today. We all need to help them with programmes that channel young people away from these poisonous ideologues. And we need the strongest possible international focus on tackling this ideology - which is why here at the United Nations, the United Kingdom is calling for a new Special Representative on extremism."
Yes, these despotic treasonous fascist rogues are everywhere like a plague. Why We the people allow this to continue is a question historians will ask for centuries,,, assuming we have that long.
Because vegetables are dangerous and can be rebellious.

Cain is described as a crop farmer and his younger brother Abel as a shepherd. Cain was the first human born and Abel was the first human to die.
"The USDA can use a good man like Cain ."
And he will have the proper tools for the job , too.
Because there are organic farmers refuse to use genetic modified seeds. They will be wiped out.
It's to subdue the "sheeps".
Sounds like the Jew World Orderis about to tune up the dumb white goy farmer, again.
I would be careful with the Jew comments. See my post a couple of spots down. You may be branded a non violent terrorist. Besides it is offensive- there is a difference between Israeli political action and being of Jewish descent. I am sure you do not want to be held accountable for the American government's actions.
Submarine guns? This global warming problem must be getting pretty serious.
For raids on Raw Milk producers?
It's for all those interrupting cows.
There are simply too many people trying to get away with front yard gardens, something has to be done.
What about an Obama Gun, like an Obama Phone or Obama Care? To protect ourselves from overzealous .gov types.
We can apply for an Obama Gun under their new web site which is the health care website revamped for guns, and if we don't buy one they will send armed IRS agents after you.
I read somewhere that the ATF rolled out an Obamagun program in Mexico a couple of years ago. It has not gone well from what I hear.
/Holder should be held accountable for its utter failure and the death of Americans, and Mexicans too for that matter.
Government needs to protect it's monopoly on "criminal activities such as fraud in farm programs; significant thefts of Government property or funds; bribery and extortion; smuggling; and assaults and threats of violence"

So, I have a related question. Why do individuals with children bring sub-machine guns into their own homes? Given our deep Concern For The Children, should we be equally outraged about that? I know about constitutional rights and self-defense. My point is if Concern For The Children is motivating the outrage, then let's be sure to consider all the situations in which children are endangered by sub-machine guns, at least for the sake of completeness.
Responsible gun owners ensure that weapons and ammunition are kept secure away from children.
I remember when there were guns all over the house with some belonging to the "children"
How many of those badged thugs put their guns in locked safe's when home. Not many I'll wager.
A gun purchased for self and family protection is a worthless POS when locked away in a safe. Teach the "children" how to handle a gun and to leave it alone when not needed.
Well let us hope that when they are trained and armed, they will be better shots than the NYPD.
Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?Duhhh... Hasn't anyone been keeping up with the ~Equine Rabies~ epidemic?
"Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?"
To protect themselves when they're attacked by aggressive sheep.

You have been warned.
oh those are for when the new natinalisation of fsrmland program goes into effect. see they can make use of farmland more effiecently than some landowner who inhertited a family farm from prior generations. so the farms must be operated by a private/public coperative based on the Zimbabwe model. got it. it is a Un mandate I think. but don't worry when the UN has no more veto for the big five and all countries can start sharing the wealth golbally things will be so much more fair don't you see. those landowners have been hoarding wealth instead of making productive contributions to the world's poor. oh yes times are a changing.
Why Is The USDA Buying Submachine Guns?
To kill us. That's why.
Let me just say, when the children of the farmers see men with guns show up and extort their parents for money over some bullshit regulation, those children will grow up to hate those agencies.
You are absolutely right.
Cows are terrorists!
If you could buy submachines guns, wouldn't you?
The USDA is getting machine guns so when the collapse comes the USDA can assist in hunting down Loyd Blankfein.
As they buy this shit with money they don't have, we all become poorer.
Haha, I liked when this site was centered around market philosophy. Bad taste when "half the people who post on the internet are exactly the first to get taken over. I mean made a public example of, fingernail torture, mind control (not a problem when you can trigger the human condition)and when brought to reality are vewy, vewy quite. Sry for the rant just I was brought up with a strict conservative tradition and thats how I know 3/4 of the hajis on here are trollsters from the good old days.

The military-industrial complex is in overdrive production mode.
The surplus has to be bought somehow. By anybody: police, schools, the USDA, soon nurseries, kindergartens, public libraries, garden centers, golf greens, museums, zoos, shopping malls, hospitals, Town halls, sports centers, NGOs, human rights groups of all kinds, animal welfare groups, botanical research centers, McDonald's restaurants, seaside rescuers, philatelists, retirement homes...
The country may collapse one day under the weight of all that metal; meanwhile, buying weapons, tanks, fighter planes, rifles, cruiser warships (for your holiday cruises) is PATRIOTIC.
Unfortunately most of you are not thinking outside the box properly. The question is not that they are ordering these weapons, but where are they keeping them? It's not worth my while to loot a liquor store, but to loot a warehouse full of automatic submachineguns is another matter entirely. Anyone have any idea of the street value?
Pretty simple. They're going to use it to shoot you when you don't submit to their total enslavement. Because the people that give the orders are spineless gutless cowards. They needs mindless criminal thugs with guns to enforce their criminal actions. Read the story below. The bureaucratic scum wouldn't come out to the farm but he would send "armed agents".
They rest of the world is rejecting them. But if they can't get you to ingest poison GMO's or sell out to factory farms willingly they'll just raid every whole food and family farm there is and sue them, fine them, steal everything, kill everything and shut them down.

All these arms will be useless when the fighting hits the streets....a few well and clandestinely thrown molotov cocktails can cause
much more accelerating combustion than the cornered statists can handle.
They're itching to shoot up the local raw milk places... plain and simple.
A few hundred well-placed Molotov cocktails can cause an accelerating firestorm that nobody can put out.
The government is deluding themselves that they can maintain "order" when the truth will out.
Let us think how this will turn out. The farmer is armed with a semi auto 5 shot 300 win mags equiped with a highpowered scope, a springfield armony 45 auto pistol and an Colt AR-15 with 10 rounds. The USDA is armed with a machine gun shooting 30 pistols rounds. Unless the USDAA agent gets with 100 ft of the target he is done before he starts.
The feds are watch too many terriorst movies where they rope down from helicopters into a building.
Filthy pigs. Americans should locate these employee's home addresses for safe keeping.
Machine guns are indiscriminate killing machines suitable to the trenches of WW I. Since when would it be appropriate for a federal agent to spray lead all over a crowd? It would never be legal or moral to do so, so this is an extremely juvenile and dangerous policy.
Actually trench guns are and were most effective for close in, but by all means don't let that spoil your TV movie factoids...
The point is- machine guns are room brooms, street sweepers for the indiscriminate shooting of groups of people, not criminal individuals. I guess the 'agents' can't hit a barn door from the inside and need these guns to be effective. I hit what I aim at, usually within the first shot or two.
No goddamn machine gun required.
Farm animals are organizing and could be dangerous. Also it is now a federal crime to sell self grown food.
Fouuuurrrr leggggs goooddd, twooo leggggs baaaaad...
Some animals are more equal than others.
I wonder if anyone has considered how convenient it would be for government idiots to be armed like this in an end of the republic scenario? I mean, imagine the outcome if competent snipers were to pick off a bunch of them armed this way? Suddenly, the OTHER SIDE gets these armaments!! For free. Delivered to your neighborhood. Just saying...
FUCK the USSA Dept. of Agriculture! FUCK this shithole of a nation!
...did it post 4 times?
...the fuck....
Why in...
...and that is why they are buying guns.
Tachyon :Let us think how this will turn out.

The feds are watch too many terriorst movies where they rope down from helicopters into a building.
Feds have drones with missiles. Armed drones trump long guns every time.
So are you going with the 1 drone to 1 farmer kill ratio? You will run out of drones long before you run out of farmers, not to mention their sons and daughters who quite possibly do have military training in Iraq or Afghanistan who will then be quite keen on a bit of payback... Most of the farmers around me spend a weekend the month before deer season dialing in their scopes. Almost sniper-like during the actual hunt. One shot - one kill. As an added bonus, who knows the land better?
Yes, every time until you run out of drones or the ability to supply them. All complex weapons systems have a multitude of logistical and supply requirements that are subject to disruption. Thankfully.
I see they are practicing at point blank range with AR 15's. Are they just practicing executions???
Being it's the USDA, maybe it's the new Fat and Furious program.
History will ask why we did nothing.

Oh, good lord. Who doesn't have them? I think most people know the answer to that.
Killer Turnips had better wake up and pay attention.
