The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has responded to a letter dated November 13, 2012 from Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) regarding the agency's ammunition purchases. Sen. Coburn published the response on the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs website yesterday, April 1, 2013.
The response, dated February 4, 2013, says that DHS buys ammunition in bulk to "significantly lower costs."

They are your friend..
They are here to help you and save you money.

RULE 1. In the field you salvage every weapon,and bullets you can from your enemy and trade with others so that you can keep a good supply.
RULE 2. Make raids for the single purpose of making them waste their ammo while you locate their supply and either take it or blow it up.
RULE 3. Let them use their weapons on full automatic while you hide and shoot only when you have a specific target lined up and YOU only use single rounds. This also makes it harder for them to locate you.
A person shooting full automatic is always targeted by the enemy because they are an easy target to locate. A single shot is EXTREMELY hard to locate especially if there enough of you randomly shooting and moving location after each shot.

You have to be smarter and more confident then your enemy.
It took them 3 months to reply to his request? /rhetorical
I’ve read your posts explaining this, and I think your explanation is very credible.
The rest of these kooks apparently didn't even click on the live link to see the actual numbers for the past 3 years. Not a one of them noted that DHS ammo purchase have actually declined the past three years. Yes, DECLINED.
Anyone know of a book that could improve my ability to deal with stupid people? Stupid is as stupid does. These folks don't have a clue about what they don't know.
“To significantly lower costs”
Ah generally lak a kiss when mah peter’s gettin’ pulled,
but that’s OK Janet, you can just blow me ....
a kiss.
But isn’t that terribly dangerous?
How do we know the DHS won’t start shooting up schools or movie theaters?
If the goal was to save money, they’d save more if they bought nothing. Don’t they know we’re broke?
“As many people have pointed out, there are shortages for rounds that DHS has not purchased or solicited for at all.”
But they all have brass, lead, primers and factory time in common.
If you had a weapon with a cyclic rate of 550 rounds per minute and you fired it continuously it would take you over 332 years to fire 1.6 billion rounds. Powder does not last that long and the rounds are subject to other forms of deterioration.
So much misdirection! ... The fedzilla is buying a multi year supply of ammo (and nearly everything else it will need) because they know there is coming a date certain beyond which they will not be able to be resupplied while the collapsed nation rots under starvation, disease, and mayhem, reducing the population to the ‘manageable’ levels called for in agenda 21.
Depends on what they’re practicing on...
Hey McGee, how come this massive demand for billions of rounds?
How many shootouts has DHS been involved in?
5000? 500? 5?
0?
Tried to buy any “bullets” lately?
When the planned orchestrated collapse comes, the oligarchs with their little army will retreat to their ‘island fortresses’ (like the new Denver airport underground complex). The security patrols will not hesitate to fire on approaching citizenry because the security forces will be locked in with the food and ammo and scum and villainy, so they have ‘a dog in that fight’.
It wasn't mentioned because it's irrelevant. The 360,000,000 rounds purchased between 2010-2012 and the year-over-year order totals during that period aren't the issue.
The purchase order in question is for 2013-2017. And it's for a nearly threefold increase in that number.
If that doesn't concern you in the least, good for you. The rest of us kooks see evil on parade in Washington DC and have every reason in the world to assume the worst.
If anything , the numbers from the last three years should raise even more concern.
360 million rounds from 2010-2012.
1.6 billion rounds from 2013-2016 or 2017.
That’s at least three times as much, per annum.
