The Department of Education thinks they need 27 more shotguns.
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.
Existing shotgun inventory? Really?
What possible need could the Department of Education have with shotguns?
Does every damned government agency have armed agents now? Why?
And at what point do we start calling it a police state? Now?
I think now is too late. It’s already happened. When every alphabet soup agency, dept and task force has a SWAT team at it’s disposal, we are truly living in a police state.
I think they’re being shipped to Berkeley.
Keeping this in mind:

There’s a potential joke involving “erectile dysfunction”, but I’m too tired to put together the pieces.
