DHS signs contract with H&K

[Sierra117]

DHS signed a $4.5 Million dollar contract with Heckler&Koch. Seems as maybe the pressure from people asking domestic manufacturers to not sell to gov't agencies might have the feds looking elsewhere for supplies.

One of the agencies BP, ICE etc uses HK P2000's maybe it's a continuation of an existing line.

Yep, you are spot on.

Or perhaps they want to go with the new hk416 for its superior full auto capabilities. Tax dollars should be spent here in the US at American owned companies.

Yea. like Beretta....
oh wait...

Agreed, How are we suppose to have economic growth when all our or tax money is being spent outside of this country.

Ok, so they sign a contract like that but are cutting military benefits? WTF

 

[Tombs]

Hahaha DHS signs up for the most expensive possible source for arms.

Then again, if it's all the 90 series guns they're pretty cheap with the happy switch.

A lot of federal agencies use H&K. They have for quite awhile. Just like a lot of them use Sig Sauer. It's just a decision on what they think is the best gun for the job. While i think its a great concept to only buy American, it really isnt practical. If you tell them only to buy US made, that pretty well narrows the selection down. It's basically Sig Sauer. and even then not all Sigs are made here. I'm trying to think of anything else American made that is really LE/Military grade. Maybe the Smith and Wesson M&P.

WAIT A MINUTE HERE!! On one hand, some of us are being critical for government entities not buying American, however in other posts we applaud those American Companies who refuse to sell to government entities because of their anti second amendment stance. I don't think that we can have it both ways, people. JMHO

 

[Enkrypter]

H&K is not bad at all, but I am sure this is a highly political move.

 

[gyeakle]

Very well put.

 

[KellyinAvon]

They need something to shoot all those hollow points they bought.

 

[Brian 45]

OK they have the bullets and now the guns what do you think they do next, oh thats right target practice to be sure they get their yearly qualification.

Yes we can. The government is more than welcome to buy from American companies AND *not* infringe on our right to keep and bear arms.

Win win.

 

[danielson]

I think we know what he meant...

The fact is, the infringement will continue, whether their buying American, or not.
