What the heck are they doing with all of this

Ammo?

[U.S. Patriot]

OMG, this **** again. This **** has been beat to death. In before the tin foil hat wearers say the DHS is out to get us.

 

[Wysko]

Not beating the same old dead horse here. This in a NEW order for MORE ammo.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

For more pistol and machine pistol training.

More ammo to be shot downrange at the CTA in New Mexico and FLETC in Joe-juh.

More ammo to be shot off of a NSC by U.S. Patriot and his boys.

More ammo to be shot up by the Secret Service (you do know that they shoot, a lot, right?).

Have you seen the ToO for DHS? Look at who is involved. That's a lot of guns and it is OPA.

Preparing for the collapse, martial law, and the related aftermath.

How many people would you say are in DHS?

 

[KW730]

It's so that they can murder all of us.

How many people would you say are in DHS?

About 100% too many.

That solicitation looks like it's for 240,000 rounds, not 21.6 million rounds. The unit of issue MX stands for 1000. The way the article is written, they're reading MX to mean 100,000 or 40,000 depending on the line item. That's not how government unit of issue designations work.

And, btw...a solicitation is not a delivery order or purchase order. There can be long delays between the two, especially with the threat of sequestration looming.

Don't tell Alex Jones abut the actual amounts involved. He is busy checking the closet for hidden FBI microphones.

It is for training. Don't we want our military and LE to be all the ball instead of numbnuts?

A little more on the matter....they usually tell you what they are doing.


Why is government stockpiling guns, ammo?

 

[HoughMade]

If the government were about to unleash war on freedom-loving citizens, one would think they would be a tad more circumspect about placing their purchasing habits in the public domain.

So the government can build stealth....everything without much public knowledge, but they can't seem to keep their super-secret ammo supplies for the coming round-up off the blogs?....yeah.

 

[Slapstick]

You sure it's not Obama stocking up so he can skeet shoot with out worrying about ammo?

 

[KellyinAvon]

Not meaning to sound like I'm lining my hats with Reynolds Wrap, but I think it's an effort to drive up prices. That whole supply and demand thing, it does work.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

DHS is spending the money and stocking up, before we default to the Chinese ...

DHS Stock Piling Ammo.

Why would the Department of Homeland Security buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition in the last ten months? I just heard this on Fox Business News about ten minutes ago on the Lou Dobbs Show.

Well, who falls under DHS?

Border Patrol
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Federal Protective Service
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
Coast Guard
Secret Service

Hmmm. Law enforcement and related training facilities purchasing ammunition. Whatever could it mean?

 

[littletommy]

About 100% too many.

Right! Who the hell needs the Coast Guard......among a few others (which I forget at the moment).

Edit: See behindblueyes list.

Maxed you out with rep for posting before me.

None of them at any one time are training that much. It's not like the Secret Service, Border Patrol and ICE are out shooting every day.
