The Border Patrol is just one of many armed agencies in DHS and they use nearly 20 million rounds a year just in basic qualification. Over a 5 year period that is 100 million rounds just for the Border Patrol.

Let’s compare the efficacy of this kind of training. How much training did the officers receive who threw rounds at two vehicles that looked like the cop killer’s vehicle?

PPardon my poor math skills but 15million rounds times5 years is 75 million, not a billion. Even doubling that for good luck is only 150 million.

The training center and others like it run by the Homeland Security Department use as many as 15 million rounds every year, mostly on shooting ranges and in training exercises.

So they just decided to buy about 140 years worth of ammunition for training?

Right... I wonder if there are any bridges that are up for sale?

Hollow points are not for practice. They are for the streets.

Because they can afford it. Anybody bought any .375 H&H, .416 or .458 ammo lately. A box of .460 Weatherby is creeping ever closer to $10.00/cartridge.

Because they just bought a bunch of Dillon progressive reloading presses and want to try them out?
