More sniper ammunition being ordered by DHS. Who are the targets?

Surprise! The DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement have requested more ammunition.

However, it is the type of ammunition and not necessarily the quantity that is troubling.

First on the agenda is the .223 rifle ammunition. Just a measly 40 million rounds in the first year, and another 160 million rounds in the following four years. 200,00 million rounds in total. You know, just enough to make you cringe thinking that some government office that is not military has more ammunition than you do.

The .223 caliber round is a decent hunting round, but that is not the rounds to be concerned about.

The .308 rounds should have you a bit concerned. Quite a bit concerned.

Why the .308? Because the same folks at DHS think they need two types of .308 caliber rounds. Blank ammunition and 168 grain hollow point boat tail ammunition.

The blank ammunition will be spread to five different locations in the American south east and in Puerto Rico. The regular ammunition will be spread all over the US in a variety of places.

From the article:

"The Public should have complete oversight of the actions of the DHS"

Definite questions that need answers here. BUMP

However, it is the type of ammunition and not necessarily the quantity that is troubling....Why the .308?

Because it's what you use to snipe individuals openly carrying their rifles from a range that makes it hard for them to find you and return effective fire.....

[himno hero]

its yurr October Surprise!

[Longtooth]

I'm old too and don't need any training @300m+. Sure wish I hadn't lost my one gun in that boating accident last year in the Gulf.

[Stayfree]

And I think a log of patriot gun owners will find out where all this ammunition to be used against us is stored...so we can use it against this Commie regime....

[One Name]

Hand-ream if you must. keep a few pristine bores for distance but your close-quarter devices should be able to digest multiple fodder.

[nicmarlo]

thanks for posting that, too; I knew there was yet another (and probably still more such examples), but couldn’t recall what it was.

I’m beyond angry. There is evil intent in all this. Evil plans to be perpetrated against Americans. What other conclusion could one possibly make?

[One Name]

We are the last ones they should wish to come against. I want this country to survive, and am willing to sacrifice to that end.

When they turn inward, the end is nigh.

Another ammo requisition PING

“When Obama ran for office he talked about a civilian police force as strong as the military.”

There is a civilian police force as strong as the military already...it is us, We the People. And We know how to use what we have...and it will be on our turf, not theirs...these silly commie, leftist, liberal, bastards will get what’s coming to ‘em if they ever figure out how to use that ammo, and then try to do so.

Think about it a bit more...Obama is a lousy Commander-In-Chief...he has proven that many times over...how could he lead a ‘civilian police force’? Leon Paneta is just as bad as pretending to be Secy of Defense...he can’t do it. And that crotcity, bitch from Arizona, the lesbo one, is not to be feared...

They better fear ‘We the People’, just as Yamamoto did in WWII.

I will gladly give the Gov’t credit for balance owed on their debt in exchange for several thousand rounds of their ammo.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

[Art in Idaho]

Does anyone have credible evidence how many rounds are needed for practice and to maintain certification? How many rounds per person per year? How many people total? I don't think it's going to add up to 200 million .223. And the .308, why does a constitutional republic need .308 sniper ammo to be used against it's own citizens?

[blondee123]

Bump

[papertyger]

why does a constitutional republic need .308 sniper ammo to be used against it's own citizens?

What makes you think it's going to be "a constitutional republic" doing so?

[Art in Idaho]

What makes you think it's going to be "a constitutional republic" doing so?

Good point. . How much more can we take?

[null and void]

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

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

“...your close-quarter devices...”

And whether at some distance or at close quarters, our ‘devices’ will out perform theres, ‘cause we know how to use ‘em.

And there is more...when this kind of push comes to shove, the elite military, and civilian Sheriff’s and their deputies will be mostly on our side.

My chamber has a real tight throat. Real Win .308 works fine. I tried some of the 7.62x51 NATO. The damn thing slam fired when I closed the bolt. Thankfully the muzzle was pointed safely downrange at an indoor range when that nasty surprise occurred. The rest of that box will remain unfired. No big deal.

I haven't tried the NATO stuff in the T/C Encore barrel. It might work fine there. All my toys are out of reach. I'm working in San Diego with a rented room until my contract completes. Not using any of my ammo.
