Kicking around the right-wing sites: DHS wants 7,000 full-auto AR15s

“The juiciest part of this bid is the use of the phrase ‘Personal Defense Weapons’ to describe the full-auto AR-15s being purchased by DHS.

“Apparently, when YOU hold an AR-15, it's an ‘assault rifle.’ But magically, if you hand that same rifle to an armed government homeland security enforcer, it instantly transforms itself into a ‘personal defense weapon.’

The request for bid actually says:

“’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.’

“So there it is, right in black and white: DHS enforcers need full-auto AR-15s which are ‘suitable for personal defense in close quarters’ and for ‘maximum concealment.’"
