I guess it is only fair. We are stocking up, too...

[circlecity]

Any chance they are trying to keep ammo out of private hands by purchasing everything on the market? Or is production capacity too high for that to work?

“What I saw at the coup”

Some of the hate radio hosts began to fan the flames with crazy rumors that really weren't so crazy, not to us. When they were taken off the air through a variety of means (but mainly for violating the "fomenting domestic terrorism" laws), the right wing nut jobs went absolutely mad with fury. The accusations about a secret purge continued. The plan was being laid out for all to see, even while it was being officially denied at every level, and was never reported on at all by our cooperating media networks and other friendly outlets.

And then the shooting started.

At a month and a half or so, it sometimes seemed that the plan was in danger of falling apart. I asked Dennis about it in private, but he appeared unworried. "It's all part of the action-reaction calculus. It was all taken into account. We needed them to react. We're in the second phase. We smoked them out into the open with phase one, and now we can go get them. Why do you think we bought billions of bullets for the DHS? Why do you think we paid for SWAT teams and armored cars in every Podunk town in America? We've been getting ready for this moment for years."

They have “met the enemy” and the enemy is us.

[MichiganCheese]

To shoot half of the country (his enemies) 9 times each?

[sport]

To shoot us with.

Why does Homeland Security need 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition?

My answers to the questions asked

Why is everyone all up in arms about the recent purchase by Homeland security of 1.4 Billion rounds of ammunition?

Because from watching the direction they are headed and after observing their actions, we no trust the Government.

Is the Department of Homeland security to protect us from foreign terrorists, or to protect the central government from the American people?

According to the Head of HS, we, particularily veterans, Christians, and legitmate gun owners are the terrorists.

To unknowingly become field supply points to Patriot forces in the coming R2/CW2.

FRiend there army is not filled with experts? Lots of misses?

[Vaquero]

as an optimist, I hope this will mean that when the scum is out of office, it will be sold to us as surplus for a good price.

There just isn’t any good answer to this I’m afraid.
The only alternative is for Congress to yank their funding.

Foreign terrorists are Boy Scouts compared to Obama's occupation forces!!!

Department of Homeland Security should be renamed Obama's Department of Security.

Who will come to help liberate us???

[chainsaw]

I guess it’s so we can control the traitorous liberals after we, the citizens, take back our country.

[ctdonath2]

Maybe it's like the old WWII line "shoot twice and go home". At 4 rounds per person, there's nothing to worry about. Well, for them to worry about...

[Graewoulf]

Lemme see now - - - - , first Obama down-sizes the US Military, then he beefs up the ammo for the Federal non-Military - - - hmmmmmm ?

Guess Obama is getting ready to grow the 47 % into 51 %, with or without the help of the US Military.

[bmwcyle]

I did start collecting before they did.

[Java4Jay]

Maybe cause they’re hedging bets on precious metals. I’m sure they have our best interest at heart.

“Why does Homeland Security need 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition?”

There’s a storm coming.

[P.O.E.]

They probably only need 53% of that. The other 47% are already voting for redistribution.
