Well these pistoleros have that padding business down pat
Consider them semi-mobile supply centers for comms gear, colorful patches, badgers, paperwork,spares, vehicles, etc, and if you're really lucky a source of hi-carb hi-sugar snacks.

And the ammo is broken down by year for procurement. Interesting is the 7.62X39, didn’t know FLETC used that particular round. Maybe part of the ammo allottment for the ATF’s gun running ops in Mexico. Looks like the cost of all ammo will be going up.
LOL, as a role my own kind of guy, I like it!
Not to worry, doubtless they will bring where they play to where you are.
Agreed.
If they store it in Fort Knox, at least they’ll be telling the truth there’s precious metals in there. I’m really not joking.
“They’re looking for a little of everything, from .223 to .30-’06, 12GA, various pistol rounds.
A nice example of government waste.... It would be cheaper if all government agencies that carried arms used the same caliber.
They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps deserve) defense.
The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.
I think of it as the NATCCC, or simply the NATCs...
Can’t use hollow points in war, its against the Geneva Convention. Aparently the Homeland Security does not need to follow the Geneva Convention when killing American Citizens.
Thats four or five rounds for every man woman and child alive today in America. Looks like the National Socialists are back.
Like most government employees they are completely inept at any task other than padding their little corner of the world.
When the Thomas Jefferson moment arrives, they will need the ability to just spray as much lead as possible as their shooting scores are lower than their low double digit IQs.
Bingo. Drive up the price and cause shortages to keep us from getting it.
There are 180,000 employees and 200,000 contractors (Source:). About 2,500 rounds per, for their 400,000 person army if the entire contract is fulfilled, I think.
Another indirect message that the serfs better shut up, not look up and bend their backs to their tasks and leave the royals be.
The calibers required is addressed in the paperwork further down. Some of this goes to FLETC, but the supplier is also required to ship to other locations. What it looks like is a open-ended ‘shell’ type contract that allows agencies to order from it rather than go through a separate procedure to let a departmental contract. As long as the ordering agencies don’t exceed the number for their caliber that the contract enumerates they are good to go. It also looks like that the total number of rounds/caliber is going to be broke down monthly/year of the contract. So the supplier won’t be required to deliver if an agency exceeds the quantity authorized for a particular month.
Most of the .357 Sig is for the TSA. I was unaware that TSA was armed at all, let alone armed with that round.
The weapon reqmnts are on pg 49 of the link in #44.
Someone mentioned that they saw 7.62X39. Could this be a hidden purchase for the State Department, for a foreign affair/as well?
re they trying to corner the market?

If it’s a war on citizens they want, they just may get it. How many people do you know outside of government that adore the DHS?
That’s what I thought.
