FBI plans to spend $100 million on ammo
WND ^ | March 27, 2013 | Steve Peacock

Quarter-billion new rounds also slated for DHS

WND recently reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has purchased well over a billion rounds of ammunition over the past year.

The magnitude of the federal government’s ammunition buildup has been making headlines over the last few weeks, as members of the military, police departments and consumers are finding shelves bare when they want to buy ammunition.

Alarms over the situation have developed just as the Obama administration is pushing hard on its agenda of gun control.

But the full impact may not yet have developed, as WND has uncovered plans by the FBI to spend up to $100 million over five years on millions of rounds for its machine guns and pistols.

I’m just going to call the white house and ask when are they planning on rounding up the patriots in this country? We all know what’s coming so lets tell them we are ready to start.

$2,000,000.00 a year for the next five years. Think about that for a minute.

All this crap wouldn’t be happening if J Edgar Hoover was head of the FBI.

He’d have seen that BO was exposed for what he is before the election of 2012.

IMO

Congress allegedly controls the purse strings. They should be able to put a stop to this, unless they are complicit.

When are some of these ammo manufacturers going to draw a line on these inflated purchases by federal agencies, and reserve a certain percentage of their product for the gun owning public?

It appears to me (and I hope to many ammo makers) that the feds’ real intent is to dry up supplies so that the public has no ammo.

1.) Gearing up against US citizens.

2.) Starving the market of ammo.

3.) Hi-visibility psyops to demoralize their "enemies".

Or if any of these are publicly traded, the “elites” have invested heavily in the stocks.
