Department of Education Purchasing 27 Shotguns

hargrand writes "The US Department of Education (ED) intends to purchase twenty-seven shotguns with very specific criteria. According to the article they want: '(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'. Place of delivery: US Department of Education Office of Inspector General, Chicago, IL.'" I'm surprised they didn't ask for them to be sent to Knoxx first to be fitted with Sidewinder Tactical 10-round drums.

I don't give the slightest damn what use the DoE might have for shotguns, since they completely deny them to anybody else. That's control-freak-ism and hypocrisy of the worst kind.

"OH! Guns are the enemy! We must pass Federal laws against anybody having them within 400 yards of a shool! Except for us, of course!"

I call bullshit.
