What do they need “heavy weapons” for anyway?

That’s a head scratcher. I don’t know of any feds who still use revolvers. Anybody else know?

When people start showing up to collect their SS checks and they get turned away because the money is gone....I guess the Feds want to be able to punish those that don’t go away quickly.

I was a social security claims rep for two years in the early 70’s. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why they would need ammo.

I just remembered they do have a small criminal investigation department. I never saw or even talked to one but they do exist.

My new bride and I went into the local SSA offices last week to file the necessary paperwork to change her name.

There was a guard in the reception area when we got there. He never got up so I didn’t get a chance to see if he was carrying. He looked like a retired postal employee.

What the heck? What is up with all of these gov’t agencies buying ammo?

Does not give one a very warm and fuzzy feeling.

357? Revolver ammo? The fed carries revolvers?

What’s with all the bullets?

Janet Napolitano tells the Border Guards to run and hide, if they come under attack.

What’s good enough for border guards should be good enough for other government workers. When under attack, RUN AND HIDE.

.357 is an admirable round with wondrous powers. But its use in arms is quite limited.

Maybe it’s just another genius government decision, like ethanol, or buying car companies.

The article says .357 magnum, but the RFQ says .357 SIG.

THe picture is that of a S&W model 10 used by the Police in the past, it does not take 357 but 38’s only, I believe.

Could this also be some kind of scam to filter ammo (illegally) to rebels in Syria?

"The request actually calls for 174K .357 hollow points that arguably have as much stopping power as any bullet out there"

Yeah, right up there with 130 gr .270, 149 gr 7.62x51, or 400 gr .416 Rem Magnum, they're all the same delivered energy, right... /s
