What Is DHS Up To?

Hawkeye:
If you recall last year DHS ordered over a half billions rounds of .40 S&W. Now they are branching out to buy 7000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons.”


--- Quote ---The scope of this contract is to provide a total of up to 7,000 5.56x45mm North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) personal defense weapons (PDW) throughout the life of this contract to numerous Department of Homeland Security components. …

It gets better.


--- Quote ---DHS and its components have a requirement for a 5.56x45mm NATO, select-fire firearm suitable for personal defense use in close quarters and/or when maximum concealment is required.

Yes, that's right "suitable for personal defense" and "select fire."

They aren't finished yet, they also want 30 round magazines.


--- Quote ---The action shall be capable of accepting all standard NATO STANAG 20 and 30 round M16 magazines (NSN 1005-00-921-5004) and Magpul 30 round PMAG (NSN 1005-01-576-5159). The magazine well shall be designed to allow easy insertion of a magazine.

It needs to be pointed out that, except for the select fire, this is the exact type of weapon the government and its media puppets claim has no purpose for self defense.  They say you do not need a 30 round magazine for self defense but that is what they want for themselves. 

Looks like the deck is being stacked against us.

   Print and save that article.       PDW....      thats priceless

Adrenolin:
Magpul, Colt, Ruger, S&W, Glock, etc, etc wouldn't it be sweet if they ALL stood up and said no to military & government contracts to make a national point. Tell them to go pound sand. I don't see it happening, however one could dream.
