A solicitation posted by the SSA on the FedBizOpps website asks for contractors to supply 174,000 rounds of “.357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition,” reports Paul Joseph Watson atInfoWars.com.

The synopsis to the solicitation adds that the ammunition is to be shipped to 41 locations within 60 days of purchase. A separate spreadsheet lists those locations, which include the Social Security headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland as well as major cities across the country including Los Angeles, Detroit, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle.

I am bearing in mind the fact that the Federal Government makes weapons and ammo purchases all the time for the various law enforcement agencies — and there are many, many federal agencies that seem to have armed agents with law enforcement powers. Too many, in my opinion.

Everything from the Department of Homeland Security, to the NOAA Fisheries Office, to the U.S. Department of Education has men with guns ready to enforce law.

There was a time, not terribly long ago, when we had “peace officers” instead of “law enforcement officers.” That emphasis on simply keeping the peace made all the difference in the world. Things are very different today.
