From the Washington Times article:
While the Obama administration calls for a ban on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, the Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 “personal defense weapons” — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians.
A report by Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com cites a General Service Administration request for a proposal on behalf of DHS seeking more than 7,000 AR-15s and matching 30-round clips “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.”
The quoted language is from the government request for proposal. Notice that fully automatic AR-15s are called, "personal defense weapons," and 30-round clips are suitable for defense in close quarters. Close quarters?...as in using them in an urban setting?Comment -
I have a honest question for you ELEMENT...
Do you think 9-11 was a conspiracy theory?Comment -
This is old news I posted thus last summer...Comment -
Probably about to announce social security is done but thanks for going alongComment -
if so, good reporting.Comment -
As long as there are sports books still around I'll be in good shape.......Comment -
My take is Obama is buying all the guns leaving a shortage for the regular old joe. Grab up all the stock then pass legislation to ban the weapons all together...
And to to think 9-11 was a conspiracy...just think about it for a second. The government CANNOT even run the goddamm postal service let alone pull of something of that magnitudeComment -

element, they CAN be fully auto is what I read if I remember correctlyComment -
This is directly from the government's RFC. If wish to read from the primary source, it is located on C-12 4.20.
It states:
Reliability. Six (6) samples will undergo a 4,000 round (per firearm) reliability test in multiples of 250 round firing cycles. The following ammunition types will be utilized: Speer 24450 64 grain .223 Remington, Speer XM223SP1 62 grain .223 Remington, Federal XM223T3 62 grain .223 Remington, and Lake City M855 5.56mm. Ammunition will be supplied by DHS. The firing cycle shall be 60% automatic mode and 40% semi-automatic mode. Sustained rate of fire will be maintained throughout each cycle and each 250 round cycle will be fired within 5 minutes. The firearms will be cooled and cleaned after each firing cycle. A detailed inspection will be performed after every forth (4th) firing cycle. All recommended maintenance procedures will be adhered to and parts will be changed at the Contractor recommended maintenance interval (using supplied replacement parts). All malfunctions will be analyzed by two (2) NFTTU armorers to determine the malfunction type/cause and malfunctions attributed to the firearm(s) will be recorded. Firearms experiencing a Class 3 malfunction will be repaired (using Contractor supplied replacement parts) and will continue testing. Non-destructive testing will be conducted on each firearm after completion of the reliability test. The key firearm components (barrel, bolt, and receiver) shall be free of cracks, seams and other defects. The headspace shall be measured using certified headspace gages.
These guidelines are for any manufacturer that wishes to entertain the government's request for bidding. That means 6 fully automatic rifles will be tested from each company wishing to participate.Comment -
No amount of bullets can defeat our Constitution. Those turncoat bastards will be hunted down like a mad dogs. Some of them will be hung but most of them will be lynched to death.Comment -
Pronk,
Our Constitution is only relevant if people care enough to intervene and toss out those that ignore it. I think most of society has become too complacent. Anyone that stands up to the government and puts down their foot is going to be labeled a domestic terrorist and will be dealt with by whatever means necessary...drones, etc.. Legislation has already been passed that gives the Federal government the power to kill citizens under certain conditions, with those conditions being very vague. In fact, the recent unprecedented law that was passed is so vague, that the government can use it to kill citizens in a number of circumstances without having to prove that their actions were warranted.Comment -
Honestly... the thought of a war on our own soil... with our own people... is absolutely sick. When our government has to prepare themselves for possibly craziness... or out of control behavior... don't they realize it's based upon their own decisions? They created this madness. Who the hell is in control of this BS? What point are they trying to make? That it's okay to kill their own people? I'm disgusted I live here.
I feel as though in months to come... maybe a year or so... whatever is being setup... there will be a group of crazies gunned down to show the point... you don't mess with the govt. If the USA could come down to this... what's the point of living anymore? And what's the point for our govt. to treat us like sh#$ for? We didn't do anything.
Thoughts like this... make you wanna grab your family... and appreciate them much more... because you don't know how out of control this could get. When the day comes...Comment
