Quote from achilles28:
Are you stupid? Honestly?
AP reports DHS has lined purchases of 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo.
That's a fact.
Do you know what a fact is? Apparently, you don't. Neither does Rachel Maddow. Nor does any hair-brained twit on the Left.
As to the WHY, that's a real head-scratcher, ain't it?
15 million rounds are used PER YEAR, for LE training.
That's 106 *YEARS* of ammo stockpiled.
Now why do you suppose the DHS - with only a domestic charter - is in the process of stockpiling 100 Years worth of ammunition?
Or are you so brainwashed, you can't see evil when a Liberal is in the White House?
Quote from RCG Trader:
okay achilles, I can see you are passionate about this, and I was needlessly inflammatory.
Here is the question. How do you know that ammo is for us citizens? How do you know some very serious threat is not around the corner?
Quote from Tsing Tao:
What type of serious threat would warrant such a massive build up of ammunition for an agency with domestic powers only? Mexican invasion? Invasion from outer space? If this were the military, you might be on to something.
(Probably too late for that. DHS likely already has price and delivery quotes or this wouldn't be a story.)Quote from Eight:
I'd like to see the ammo manufacturers tell DHS to take their order and shove it...
