this again?

 

I like how it says "deadly hollow point ammunition". Last time I checked all bullets are deadly.

Besides only posting a link without explanation or opinion, im not sure what youre trying to point out. This news broke months ago and see no other update other than trying to explain away the purchases. Noaa at least gave coinciding numbers for their purchase. Not that i agree that the SSA or NOA should have armed employees, but i dont see anything new here.

 

I'd really like to see people calling HP ammo "More Safe Ammo" heck we already have less lethal ammo out there and I believe HP ammo is safer from passing through someone and hitting another than FMJ by along shot.. yea worked in a play on words and all. LOL

SSA and NOAA have Criminal Investigators, Job Series 1811 that investigate crimes within their jurisdiction. They do arrest criminals. FWIW the the Federal Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife, Health and Human Services, Dept of Agriculture and other agencies have Criminal Investigators. They all receive firearms and tactical training.

 

Why shouldn't they be armed?
