WTF !!! DHS has ordered enough ammo for 30 YEARS of full blown war !!!
DHS Purchases 21.6 Million More Rounds of Ammunition

An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion. In March 2012, ATK announced that they had agreed to provide the DHS with a maximum of 450 million bullets over four years, a story that prompted questions about why the feds were buying ammunition in such large quantities.

To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.

Obuttfuck is clearly trying to drive up the cost of ammo so there's a run on ammo in the civilian shooters market.

Can't find 223 or 308 to save your life.

i don't think its a case of them wanting all the bullets.

it's a case of the public not having 1.6 billion bullets availible to us.

Well, it is rather nice of them to forewarn simple citizens what to expect, in an admittedly off-hand way.

I agree. They know gun control is a no go so they are going after the ammunition.

My question is, why is so much money budgeted to DHS that they can waste if on stockpiling billions of one specific item that they will never use. Another case of government waste.
