Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets.
A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass.
A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
The National Weather Service is is one of six scientific agencies that make up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The solicitation requires a response by August 21.

That's just bizarre. I know that a lot of regulatory agencies now have police forces because of the Inspector General loophole, but what would NWS police? Unlicensed rain gauges?

ReplyDeleteThe best laid schemes of mice and men. We shall see, I believe.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that the government gets to use hollow points in NJ but a civilian gets year or two of jail time for each hollow point in their possession.

ReplyDeleteJust oversight, I am sure........:)
I think you need to put this together with the article in the July issue of Small Wars Journal, by a faculty member of the Army's University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies, on "Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland."
