It means people on our side need as much Thorazine as the liberals did when they were screaming about these things during the Bush administration.

The ammunition orders for example, isn’t as much as people are making it out to be. If you get into the details, what has changed is they are making five year contracts versus yearly contracts. Ammunition orders under the Bush administration were around 230 million rounds per year so the increase isn’t that much. (also note, many of the ‘billions’ stories make it appear they are actually getting that much delivered, which isn’t true, they are simply contracting a negotiated price for up to a certain amount for a period of time).

What has changed, however, is going to half-decade contracts at one time. This has created bottlenecks in the system that has impacted supply and is in part, causing the shortages you are seeing now.

Southern California, today. One man, with a bit of psyops screed on the internet, and a few rounds has the southern part of the state on high alert and wasting tax dollars on overtime.

Folks have opinions about government tyrany, but reality is that one guy can tie up thousands of men and millions of dollars in resources.

Multiply by 100,000.

It means we need to think. We need to adapt. Keep an eye on what is going on. The government’s tactics are being telegraphed. CWII cannot be fought on the government’s terms.

I am sure that a sniper with a Barrett .50 caliber rifle could take out a black helicopter that was attacking Americans. Our biggest concern is the Feral Government dominated by fascists and muslims.

Their huge volume purchases are also making it more difficult and even impossible for the citizenry to find certain ammo..

After Sandy Hook, civilians went nuts buying ammo.. Good thing the gov't made most of their massive ammo purchases right before Sandy Hook. Hmmmmm, almost as if they knew Sandy Hook was going to happen!

Because the INFLATED budgets of many of those useless Agencies are available to spend on ammo. The Executive Branch, the Czars, and the Regulatory Agencies are slush-funds and packed with high-paid do-nothing friends and lackeys, and we could eliminate ALL the Regulatory Agencies, ALL their un-needed office/paper-pushers who stifle growth, and bleed taxpayer money for the SEIU/DNC coffers.

Without touching the Military, we could cut 50% of the Federal staffs and not miss a thing (we might even likely gain Freedom from interference with We The People).

“Department of Homeland Security just placing another order for an additional 21.6 million rounds.”

The lucky thing is that it is being purchased by one of the most incompetent of all the incompetent Federal agencies.

It will only be a matter of months before they can’t find it, can’t account for it, and can’t explain it (and I’ll be buying some choice ammo at the local flea market.)

This just happened in my mother’s neighborhood - another swat team. She lives in one of the dullest, most dozy towns in New Jersey. What’s going on?

It means that in addition to your guns and ammo, you need body armor and a PASGT helmet.
