The US Government Has Ordered Over 750 Million Rounds of .40 Caliber Hollow Point Ammunition in the Last Three Years

The Intel Hub | In the last three years numerous domestic US government agencies have ordered a total of over 750 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition.
Ayers figured there were 25 million Americans to slaughter to ring in the revolution. Bammy figures the targets are armed and ready for the slaughter today. It’s going to be more complicated.
Three questions:
1) Why so many bullets?
2) If Islamist terror is not our enemy, then who are you planning to shoot?
3) If you win a second term, will we see the Civilian Security Force you talked about in 2008, the one that’s as big and well funded as the US military?
Did the order a bunch of new bull dozers too?
The soon-to-be new currency?
Communists are fine with guns as long as they are the ones holding them.
Actually the order ended up being twice that plus 200million add on order. The social security admin ordered 147,000 and National Weather Service 47,000, including hollow point and sniper rounds.
Wow, that sounds scary. Hollow points and SNIPER rounds, sounds like a member of the Brady gang.
Can’t this hoax die already? It works out to a couple hundred rounds a month for those issued guns in agencies under the whole DHS. Barely enough for decent range time.
There’s plenty wrong with Obama’s admin without falling for every troll’s distraction that comes along.
Troll? really, look in the mirror dude, a troll I am not!
So are you saying this is not unusual? The government buys all these bullets every year for target practice? I have never seen any articles about huge bullet purchases until the last year. So was it just never reported before? Or did I am the articles? Please prove me wrong, since you know something I have never seen before to set me strait.
I didn’t mean that you’re the troll. There’s been dozens of threads on this, though. The math works out. If you count up all the agencies under the umbrella of the DHS that issue weapons... The USCG, the ATF, ICE, DEA... Yadda yadda... It works out to about a year’s supply of monthly practice. Or something like that. Turns out its just not a big deal.
Think on it this way... If there are only 250,000 guns carried in all those agencies, and I think it’s likely far more than that... Then do the math: 750,000,000 divided by 250,000 is 3000 rounds each, over 4 years... That’s barely over 60 rounds a month each.
I think this is just more Alex Jones nonsense.
“250,000 guns carried in all those agencies”
Actually, THAT number is disturbing! We’ve got more federal agents under arms than the military has. Obama’s Brown Shirts?

Well, there’s the Coast Guard, the ATF, DEA, Marshall’s Service, Border Patrol... Some others I’m sure. It’s not all that many really.
If the US military is smaller, then THAT is a big problem.
DHS, alone, has 250,000+ employees.
