And we’re supposed to believe they paid premium prices to use hollow points for “target practice”?
As near as I can tell, ALL of the 1.6 Billion rounds ordered are hollow points.
So, all of those attempting to quiet the “conspiracy theories”, are going to need more ammunition....
The hallow-point angle is a red herring. Shooters train with what they carry. It makes perfect sense to train with hallow points, and knowing the federal government, the cost would never be any concern whatsoever. (The 2700 MRAPs is another red herring, put into circulation by Russia Today for the sole purpose of being debunked after word of the ammo purchase orders started going viral).
The only thing that matters here is the volume of ammunition the federal government is buying. Anyone who’d like to quiet the “conspiracy theories” (I despise that term) should be able to provide evidence of some precedent for a 1.6 billion round ammo order. But they won’t, because they can’t.
MHGinTN in Post 9 has this one pegged. They’re stocking up like they never have before, because they know what’s coming.
One of my shooting instructors told me they did just that, when they used his facility.
