What the heck? Did any of you know the Department of Education already has a shotgon inventory? Does anyone know WHY the Department of Education would already have shotguns and WHY they would need 27 more?
Does anyone know WHY the Drudge Report is the only place I would ever have heard anything like this?
What the heck!?
Note the delivery address:
Place of Delivery:
U.S. Department of Education

Perhaps there is some explanation here, in that the shotguns are to be sent to Chicago. Still frightening.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
No idea. Is there an offshoot of the DOE that *needs* shotguns?
Love the Chicago address. Heh.
Personally, I'm getting a little fed up with gubmint agencies arming themselves against the people they are supposed to be serving. There can be no other explanation for this action, since the DoE is not responsible in any way for national defense. I don't know what their game is, but I think I may call someone about this.
I thought it was pretty damn scary myself. Most schools have "resource" officers if gun toters are needed. I do not want the DOE arming itself. Why in the world would it need to in its mandated capacity?
Seriously? Government is OUT OF CONTROL! I don't even know what else to say...
This is beyond strange. Hmmm. Maybe I'll write a letter. If they are giving these out, then I want to know where mine is. :)
