The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to purchase twenty-seven (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 are designated as the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
The required date of delivery is March 22, 2010.
So the Department of EDUCATION is not only buying twenty-seven shotguns, it has an existing inventory of shotguns similar if not identical to these already, and these are short-barreled (14″) shotguns with Knoxx stocks.
Excuse me, but WHAT THE FUCK DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION NEED WITH RIOT GUNS?
Are they perhaps concerned about what some disgruntled teachers might do?
