Is your postal worker packing? It’s a possibility in the future. A recent announcement by the U.S. Postal Service says the organization is looking for companies to provide “assorted small arms ammunition” soon.
On Jan. 31, the USPS Supplies and Services Purchasing Office posted a notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website asking contractors to register with USPS as potential ammunition suppliers for a variety of cartridges.
“The United States Postal Service intends to solicit proposals for assorted small arms ammunition,” the notice reads, which also mentioned a deadline of Feb. 10.
The Post Office published the notice just two days after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced his proposal to remove a federal gun ban that prevents lawful concealed carry holders from carrying handguns inside post offices across the country.
Ironically the Postal Service isn’t the first non-law enforcement agency seeking firearms and ammunition.
The Department of Education has spent nearly $100,000 on pistols and shotguns, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also armed up, purchasing tens of thousands of rounds of hollow point ammunition. Even the EPA has dedicated SWAT personnel.
What’s behind these peculiar purchases? If there are reasonable explanations, no officials have been forthcoming about what appears to be either a militarization of non-military government agencies. Is it possible these agencies are just acting as a blind to disguise government guns and ammo purchases for a totally different reason?

When martial law is declared, the Postmaster General will be tasked with developing the national registry of all citizens. Read the Executive Orders.
I agree with Shawn.
Is this Obama arming yet another dept. Of the government.
they may be just buying up ammo to keep civilians from getting any.
This is something else, the postal workers I know couldn’t give a rats ass, and are incapable of any harm, and unwilling to perform anything outside of their sop.
I thought that the postal Service already bought ammo, same as the Weather people, and the social security folks.
Something stinks here.
Yes
This is done with tax payers monies, inorder to create an ammo shortage. Look at Homeland buying of ammo, with taxpayers monies. It easy when you use someone eles money and not your own!
Arming the post office?? Can we say Nazi’s???? God help U.S.
