What is happening with the bullets and the guns?

[jts]

DHS buys 1.6 billion bullets. Why would the Department of Homeland Security buy 1.6 billion bullets? To fight a war? Is the DHS in the business of fighting wars?

And the general population is buying lots of guns.

You think maybe ... no that is crazy.

DHS has few personnel to effectively fire those bullets. I suspect they'll be parcelled out to various level of government allies on as as needed basis.

inflation hedge?

Any word on the Black Helicopters? And the FEMA gulag?

I understand. Questioning what government is doing is forbidden.

Is that the same Mossad death squad that flew a plane into the WTC on 9/11/2001?

When the purchase was "only" 450 million rounds the NRA-ILA was not worried as that amounted to only "1,384 rounds of ammo per year per law enforcement [officer]"

If the number is now 1.6 billion that is indeed interesting.

In 7 1/2 years in the Air Force I fired a total of 12 bullets [.38 special] in a 15 minute span after hours of lectures on safety. 6 to practice, 6 to attempt to qualify for a marksmanship ribbon. I didn't get the ribbon.

On a show about snipers on the Military Channel they described what a sniper would take into the field on a normal mission. They would take 5 magazines full of 9mm pistol ammo [90 rounds], 3-5 magazines full of 5.56mm X 45 NATO [90-150 rounds] for their M-4 , but as few as 20 rounds for their sniper rifle. One shot one kill on the primary but once the big gun goes off you might need all of the rest to get out of Dodge.

Just interesting - doesn't tell us much about government law enforcement [not military] purchasing large quantities of ammo. Apparently too good to reload - unlike the military when it does training.
