Is there any reasonable explanation for these parts orders, first from Sig Sauer, now from H&K? Is this just a way for DHS to buy all the “parts” for guns, and them assemble them into complete guns, without saying that they are buying more guns?
Stockpile: DHS announces second $4.5 million gun purchase in less than a week
The Examiner – by Dave GibsonOn Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted details of a no bid contract with weapons manufacturer Sig Sauer, worth $4.5 million over the next five years.
The contract is identical to the one DHS announced last week with Heckler & Koch.
Both contracts are for $900,000 worth of “replacement parts” a year, for weapons used by DHS agents.
While it is hard to imagine how or why a domestic agency could anticipate firing their weapons enough over the next five years to need $1.8 million annually in replacement parts, the DHS documents clearly state their need to “stock sufficient quantities of parts needed to fulfill the quantities of parts anticipated to be ordered.”
In April 2012, DHS purchased $143,000 worth of submachine guns from Heckler & Koch.
See the details of that contract…
Of course, this comes on the heels of the news that DHS is purchasing 2,717 ’Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for urban use.
In light of the Obama administration’s push for gun-grabbing legislation, a flurry of “multi-agency training drills” inside our cities and towns, the dismissal of several well-respected military leaders and the purchase of urban tanks, along with 2 billion rounds of ammunition…one need not be a conspiracy theorist to be genuinely concerned about the imminent threat to our freedoms, as well as to our very lives.

There’s no explanation or rationale for it except the inception of a police state in the US, it’s not like we’ve been infiltrated by a bunch of Islamic jihadists. Obama stated he was going to build a civilian army, and no one took the words of a politician spoken during a campaign seriously, neither did anyone ask, nor was their any response, and least none reported AFAIK, as to “why” Obama felt there was or is a need for a civilian police force that could rival the military.
If we see civil unrest in this country because of an economic collapse, isn’t it because of the very institutions which purport to now need to “police” us?
It is the act of governing against the will and best interest of the people that might cause any unrest, but rather than stop doing what caused the unrest, it would appear they intend to corral us.
There is a line in the sand, which when crossed, these unsworn “civilians” won’t be fighting a bunch of rag heads in some god forsaken foreign land, there will be hell to pay, bar any civilian or military force, foreign or domestic.
In the event of any civil unrest, God help them, and if in fact this is the build up of the second coming of Christ, God help those left behind, which if this is the case, then it’s not a far stretch of the imagination to presume Obama is in fact, an anti-Christ. The rest of us have to live with the hell which the feds are pursuing, with apparently little or no congressional oversight. Only further proof we have a broken system of government, and the federal bureaucracy is completely and totally out of control, at least until the printing presses run out of ink, and balance is restored to the universe. If it happens at the point of a sword, so be it. Obama and his civilian army aren’t fooling anyone.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all of these purchases (guns, bullets, parts, etc.) is BO’s way of fulfilling his promise that there are things he can do as the Executive to control guns. These purchases are making guns, bullets, parts etc. prohibitively expensive or just plain unavailable. The money being spent is chicken feed for the Fed govt, but is crowding civilians out of the market. The manufacturers may eventually have to turn down some of that Fed business. I hope.

Though I agree with your statement, I also think they are intending to use them against enemies of the government.
Fuckers – using my money against me.

THC, that would only be a temporary solution. Supply will eventually catch up with demand. The thing is, there’s little more durable than stockpiling munitions. So, it’s a win-win for the feds.
Unless they follow up with a scheme that reduces production capacity by shuttering the industry, then I’ll have to agree they planned it to a T. Reduce availability while securing their own inventory, then preventing anyone else from stockpiling.
Supply is about 6 – 9 months behind demand at the moment. We’ll see soon enough. don’t forget, private citizens are what caused the shortage, where there was little demand. Supply and production capacity has always been high. All of this bodes well for the industry, and I just don’t see the feds being smart enough to pull it off. Satan, maybe, and he’s not one to take for granted. I’m all for conspiracy theories, he being the chief conspirator, but I don’t think a conspiracy is behind the shortage. It just hasn’t come to that, yet.
