Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the USDA buy .40 Caliber Submachine Guns?

The USDA claims these weapons are for self-protection against farm fraud, theft, bribery, extortion, smuggling, and threats. However, analysis suggests these justifications may not align with the actual frequency of incidents requiring such armament.

What historical context is relevant to the USDA's armament?

The USDA received permanent armed police abilities in 1981. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 further expanded armament powers to numerous federal agencies, contributing to the current landscape of agency militarization.

Are USDA raids typically conducted alone?

No, USDA raids are almost always accompanied by the ATF, FBI, or local law enforcement. This inter-agency cooperation raises questions about the USDA's independent need for extensive firearm arsenals like submachine guns.

What evidence challenges the USDA's need for submachine guns?

Since 2007, USDA data reportedly shows only six instances where firearms were deemed truly necessary. This limited data contrasts sharply with the acquisition of thousands of submachine guns, prompting skepticism.
