Oct 20, 2025Excerpt: "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal government contracting data by Popular Information. Records from the Federal Procurement Data System reveal that ICE has increased spending on 'small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing' by 700% compared to 2024 levels.
"New spending in the small arms category from January 20, 2025, the day Trump was inaugurated, through October 18, totaled $71,515,762. Most of the spending was on guns and armor, but there have also been significant purchases of chemical weapons and 'guided missile warheads and explosive components.'
"On September 29, 2025, ICE made a $9,098,590 purchase from #GeisseleAutomatics, which sells #SemiAutomatic and #AutomaticRifles. The total spending by ICE in the small arms category between January 20 and October 18, 2024, was $9,715,843."

I hadn’t seen this & holy hell is this disturbing.
A coalition of #Republican *lawmakers* want to make the #AR15, a #SemiAutomatic #firearm, #Michigan’s state #rifle, a move that concerned #GunControl advocates.
HB 5792, introduced by Rep Brian #BeGole (R-Antrim Twp), the fmr #sheriff of Shiawassee County, would make the #MilitaryGradeWeapon the state’s ofcl rifle.

#SupremeCourt #BumpStock Ruling Reflects Its #MAGA Agenda. How else do you explain a decision that says devices that enable #semiautomatic #rifles to be turned into copycat machine guns are okay? https://archive.is/mupGa#selection-1361.0-1369.134 #GOP #courts #bilionaires #gunviolence #legalresearch #publicsafety

This goes WAY beyond "Cynical" to outright cowardice.
After the #VegasShooting in 2018, both #Republicans and #Democrats agreed to Ban #BumpStocks (which effectively turn #semiautomatic long #guns into #automatic #weapons.) And #TheOrangeMenace signed that ban.
But 2018 wasn't a presidential election year. 🤬 #GOPHypocrisy #NRA #GunNuts #GOP #DeathCult

#Army #Ammunition Plant Is Tied to #MassShootings Across the U.S. The site was built for the #military, but #commercial #sales are booming with little #publicaccountability. Rounds have been bought by #murderers, #antigovernment groups and others. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/11/us/army-ammunition-factory-shootings.html #GunViolence #murder #shootings #guns #rifles #semiautomatic #crime #ar15 #MassShooting #gangs #DoD #defense #accountability
