DHS Orders 750 Million More Rounds Of Ammo
The Alt-Market.com ^ | 13 August, 2012 | various

Posted on 08/13/2012 9:41:43 AM PDT by Errant

The federal government, specifically the Department of Homeland Security, is buying up huge amounts of ammunition and there seems to be no end in sight. Again, this is nothing new as the DHS has refused to explain their purchase of 450 million hollow points and has ordered "up to" 650-750 million rounds of ammo and also seems to be looking for more weapons as well.

Don’t forget, there are probably ‘volunteer’ staffers...from Acorn and the New Black Panthers...

I’m not too worried.

Gov’t doesn’t have the staff to put behind that supply.

Free Americans do....and “they” are sufficiently dispersed, so as to be impossible to manage.

The “staff” they “think” they have, aren’t sympathetic to “their” cause.

DHS: "...ordered "up to" 650-750 million rounds of ammo and also seems to be looking for more weapons"

Simple explanation:

They are trying to help Obama win "Gun Salesman Of The Year Award" again.

I kind of like controlled, aimed fire myself.

Same here. I did notice a line item requirement for matched .308 - i.e. sniper ammo.

450mm + 750mm = 1,200mm / 310mm population = 3.87 rounds for each and every man, woman, & child in the country.

The rest of the time is spent driving around in their 4 wheel drive 60,000 dollar SUVs looking for terrorists or donut shops.

and some of those black SUV with individuals with equipment marked TSA had people stopped in Carrollton, GA last week. This is West Georgia and a very conservative area.

Just read this again.

1.QUESTION - CLIN 0003, Page 2: Would a 223 Rem 64 Grain soft point round be acceptable?

ANSWER - Yes, that would be acceptable.

2.QUESTION - CLIN 0003, Page 2: Would a 5.56 X 45 NATO 62 g JHP round be acceptable?

ANSWER - No. NATO rounds are not interchangeable
with SAAMI specifications identified in the
Statement of Work (SOW) paragraph 2.2, page 48.

So, what gun are they using. A weapon using 5.56 will chamber .223 but, not the other way around.

And look at the dates at the end. This is a FIVE year order. Don’t know what to make of that.

Keep in mind, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have already been proving they are progressives. And look at Petraeus pushing for gay rights in the military. These are all Obama selections. So just what do you think is the ideology and partisan mindset of the DHS staff?? They have been trying to claim conservatives are “terrorists” from the get-go of this administration. And now, thanks to the progressive RINOs, he can arrest and detain anyone who is for the constitution...without habeus corpus rights.

“the govt. will need lots of ammo, once the people are told that the election will be suspended”

You seriously think any manfuacturer can produce 750,000,000 in three months?
