That isn’t their department

It seems that the folks who secure the DHS HQ can’t hold onto their “dangerous 40mm semi-automatic assault pistols”

The Department of Homeland Security said yesterday that it is investigating how four handguns recently went missing from its headquarters in Northwest Washington.

Jarrod Agen, a department spokesman, said the guns belonged to Paragon Systems of Chantilly, which provides security for the department’s facility on Nebraska Avenue NW.

Ok, so the italicized words above were not directly quoteed from the linked article, but we all know that it is only because a department of the government was involved. Had this report been about a gun store robbery, I have no doubt that the story would have been not only alarmist in nature, but read something quite like the fake quote.
