These devices present significant risks of eye injuries, including blindness, if distributed without a valid prescription and the involvement of a qualified eye care professional and appropriate follow-up care.

People drown all the time. We should start requiring a prescription for water to keep them safe.

Prescriptions aren't about safety, they're about money --ensuring a revenue stream for doctors and keeping prices high for pharma companies. One of the most deadly drugs out there, acetaminophen, is sold OTC. I agree though, the Constitution does not grant the Federal government the power to protect people from themselves. How about people just being responsible for themselves for a change. Oh yeah, progressivism is all about eliminating responsibility and accountability.

Really, then I wonder how all these places that sell them are still in business? It's not like they're hiding the fact, they even take out ads for them.

In light of the widlerness areas they go into and the potential to run across weirdoes, bears, and the random cartel, that puts it into perspective. Should have AR-15s though. This looks like a request tailored for a specific gun someone saw on COPS or the last SWAT demonstration.

Your assumption appears to be that the Feds are stupid. You don't buy machine guns to kill bears and weirdos, and the Feds are doing absolutely nothing about the cartels except keeping away from them as much as possible. This is all about that "civilian force" that's supposed to be just as powerful as the military.

If you didn't want all that solely in the control of the military who might not be happy with you to begin with. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. It's makes so much more sense to arm every federal outfit to the teeth for no reason.

At this point it is no longer an "if." That's exactly what they're doing, along with pre-positioning armored vehicles that are ostensibly for local PDs: they're not. When the balloon goes up the Feds will "Federalize" these vehicles. It would be a little too obvious if the Feds staged these vehicles for use by NOAA and the USDA and the SSA at the same time they're making all these big guns and ammo purchases.
