Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 869178 United States 08/15/2012 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This amount of ammo works out to be 7.5 million 100-round-barrel-magazines of ammo. That's enough to shoot every person in NYC 100 times. WTF does DHS think they need that amount of ammo for? They're a criminal organization AFAIAC, spawned in the false flag of 911. |

It is against the Geneva Convention to use hollow point ammunition in a wartime situation.

They're a criminal organization AFAIAC, spawned in the false flag of 911. Congressman Gowdy awnsered my question on 750 million rounds of 40 cal pistol ammo they ordered. He said dhs has 154 thousand employees, That includes all ICE, DEA, US marshalls, FBI DHS and others over 100 different agencies, He said they have to qualify and shoot hundreds of rounds every year. He said Normally each office orders its rounds individually but now that they are all under the guise of DHS they make one purchace order for all agencies to save monies! Dont know if it is true or not. However 750 million rounds of 223 is a whole different story. He is going to get back to me in a week or two! |

He also said the purchase order is for over the next five years. So break that down to 154 thousand agents over five years. Its not that many. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2926765 United States 08/15/2012 12:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ask that politician about the thousands of bullet proof guard shacks DHS bought. on second thought it would be a waste of time. Our government is clearly gearing up for war against it's citizens. And it only makes sense. They think we're all terrorists. And they treat us like terrorists. |

Do you see what I see User ID: 11733952 United States 08/15/2012 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Perhaps it's to create an ammo shortage so the American people can't get their hands on it.

Not very accurate after 100yrds Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22013245 First of all most combat operations are under 100 yards. Especially in built up Urban Areas. Secondly, a good marksman can easily hit targets out to 400 - 500 yards with .223. Hell, just google coyote hunting videos. Lots of 300-400 yard shots on moving coyotes. Marines used to qualify up to 500 yards with .223 (Not just the M-14). Don't know if the same standards apply nowadays. Anyway, for what its worth. |
yoverne User ID: 18730122 United States 01/27/2013 05:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I find the timeline of this ammo shortage interesting. Sections 346 and 361 of the NDAA call for halting commercial sales of ammo till the govt agencies are supplied. Homeland security is buying more ammo than the military. With the slaughter in Conn and the main media beating the drum for gun control, I think it goes beyond panic buying by the public. Call me paranoid, but the UN and Obama admin is pushing for the US to sign the small arms treaty this spring. This will require an international registration of all firearms. It also calls for putting micro serial #s on all ammo. This will effectively give the power to control guns to an entity other than the US and thus get around the second amendment if ratified by the Senate. Obama will sign it. All we need is the anti gun people to agree to it. Call your senator and tell him or her that you think that anyone who votes to ratify this treaty, giving our sovereignty to an outside organization, is a traitor to this country. This could eventually lead to gun confiscation. |

Holden User ID: 32744103 United States 01/27/2013 08:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you expect the DHS and other agencies to fight domestic terrorists without ammo? We hope not! As long as you're not a domestic terrorist, then you have nothing to worry about. This is a necessary step to ensure the safety and security of America and Americans. Thanks and have a nice day. |
