so as i alluded to...
the .40 is a backup, not a main weapon
and all this is a non-issue?

You make a very good point! I was going to go for the supply buy up side effect and insider trading method rather than suggesting they are about to murder us all(almost 1,000,000,000 more bullets than would be needed to execute every US citizen).

Wait...
450 million - 350 million = 1 billion?

he says "it's your choice to carry a long arm".

why would that even be an option?
that should be the default.

when you bring a pistol to a rifle fight, caliber doesn't matter.

I agree. The long arm should be our main weapon. when we carry t, its considered the primary system but not all agents carry them. They can get in the way if you have to go hands on with an alien... Despite seeing a guy armed to the teeth, pleenty of them and of course the smugglers decide they want to fight. After about 3-5 hours of tracking a group in rough terrain at high temps... They weigh you down a little. Especially, if you are carrying all your extra ammo in your outter vest carrier.

The DHS shouldn't even be issued weapons. The DHS shouldn't even be an agency. They should just disband the DHS.

Does not matter to me... I'm pretty sure the USBP, Customs, ICE, Coast Guard, and more would not all cease to exist. if by chance my agency did go poof, I would go be a Forrest Ranger or find some other outdoorsy Fed LEO position.
