Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you need to threaten to report me to the Admin if I don’t add you to the list...

You do realize that you area talking about the government procurement process...right? There is NOTHING sane about it; bad intentions, or not.
Like Hell!
Sane people practice with what they use.
You are mistaking "sane" for "cheap."
450,000,000 rounds is yesterday’s news. That number has now been upped dramatically and includes much more than 40 S&W. But, the original order (450,000,000) was for JHP’s, those are not for range. If they are, someone at DHS needs to have their neck rung as they’re throwing money out the window. FMJ’s or lead (outdoor ranges) would be much cheaper.
So much for the saving taxpayer’s money argument.

Because there are NOAA Law Enforcement agents.
Bingo.
It was so kind of Mr. Westmoreland to confirm in writing certain suspicions that both state and local police forces had in fact become de facto organs of the Federal government despite previous claims to the contrary having been given to the public.
I don't believe all of these fall under "law enforcement" excluding all in office and clerical personnel.
“In June the Secret Service was shopping for “40,000 rounds with two options for 20,000 rounds” of Winchester .300 Magnums. Awarded to an outfit in Rapid City June 30, if we’re reading it and all to be delivered before year end.)”
.300 WinMag ammo is used by government for sniper operations. It is primarily used by AgencyPerson snipers such as the infamous Lon Horiuchi, who shot Weaver in the back when Weaver was seeking cover and who shot and killed Weavers wife and child.
This ammo is for sniper use inside the USA by government snipers like Lon Horiuchi, and WILL BE USED AGAINST US.
Social Security Administration To Purchase 174 Thousand Rounds Of Hollow Point Bullets
This probably deserves it's own thread but pass it far and wide.
And oh, just keep it between us conspiracy theorists, k?
Well, then... I feel better already. /s
Forgot to ping on above.
Looks to me like its a coordinated inter-agency effort to disrupt the national ammo market rather than to over-arm itself against the population. Who in the federal government needs this many bullets, even if they wanted to shoot down Americans in the tens of thousands. And where are they going to store it all?
You are trying to use rational thought for an irrational act.
We are dealing with leftist Marxist. They do not have tactical thoughts. As far as disrupting the amo market, forget it. We have bought more than enough amo to take out the Chinese and Indian armies combined.
Remember a few years ago at the height of the war in Iraq when none of us could buy ammo in certain popular calibers because the military was buying it all up for use by the troops?
It must be nice to have unlimited resources.
I don’t. Fedzilla doesn’t either, and they need to quit pretending otherwise.
it is getting weirder and weirder
OK, now I’m getting concerned.
DHS, a billion rounds? startling, but explanation is tepidly satisfying.
NOAA, any amount? odd, but explanation is tepidly satisfying.
Secret Service? well yeah. It’s their job.
Capital Police? likewise. It’s their job.
EPA? um, that’s a lot of nifty detail for what sounds like one purchase.
Social Security? ok, but...
...wait a minute. That’s a lot of gov’t agencies buying a lot of ammo all at the same time. Either we’re just all waking up to a common unreported occurrence, or...well...
Interesting theory, until we note that it’s for little more than .40 HP and .300 Win Mag, and those of very precise descriptions.
If they’re trying to clear the shelves they’re not buying enough quantity of enough range of calibers. To clear the shelves to deny public access, they’d have to submit an order for “everything you’ve got - 9mm, .45, .38, .308, .223, HP, FMJ, boattail, ... EVERYTHING.” It’s also too late: we’ve already stocked up.
I guess you missed this thread then...DHS Orders 750 Million More Rounds Of Ammo...my reply #71.
Watch the video. .223, shotgun, .45, .38, 30-06...a huge list.
You have to watch the video to see it all laid out.
Or view the pdf...HSFLGL-12-B-00003-000001.pdf
I would enjoy hearing what you've got to say afterwards.
