Maybe the administration really does fear a popular armed uprising upon its rotten pot of alphabet soup. Why else a stash of that size? Social Security for heavens sake. Arm Grannies!
“Maybe the administration really does fear a popular armed uprising upon its rotten pot of alphabet soup.”
It does. The example of the Warsaw Pact’s serial collapse in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s has to scare the hell out of every centralized, topheavy, welfare state government. And those people were NOT armed. Yes, they have cause to fear. It is not just this administration either, but the whole Washington system.
How many rounds does an average person shoot off on a gun range, practicing?
Im not sure if the amount of ammo is overwrought, when you consider how many people will be using it.
Like money laundering, the more you have, the more can be skimmed or covered up. My bet is that this ammo won't end up in the hands of the agencies who ordered, at least not a bunch of it.
As to the destination of the 'missing' ammo, it could be anyone from the cartels to street gangs to Obama's 'private army', who might not be just the Federal minions under his administration, but other 'causes' he has been sympathetic toward.
Considering it is highly likely that funds have been diverted from the trillions thrown around during this administration, anything is possible when unusually large amounts of most anything are involved.
“Why else a stash of that size?”
The ‘stash’ of the beaurocracy, including this, is nothing compared to that the ‘army’ of ‘America’s hunters etc.’
