Obviously there should be some oversight by the Congress on these kinds of purchases and they should hold the Executive Branch accountable. After all, thats why there is a balance of powers.

As long as the Dems hold the Senate, this is utterly meaningless.

“Obviously there should be some oversight by the Congress on these kinds of purchases and they should hold the Executive Branch accountable. After all, thats why there is a balance of powers.”
Members of Congress long ago figured out the best way to secure their place at the public trough was to talk a good game, be on camera as much as possible, and do nothing.
Congress has long ago vacated their responsibilities for keeping the executive branch in check.

Not if the House takes a position of “No money to be spent on ammo without explaining yourself”.

And then they’ll just pass another continuing resolution instead of a budget that doesn’t restrain the DHS or any other bureau going overboard. Just like the last few years.

Yeah, sufficient ammo to put three or four shots through the head of every single American citizen is probably enough at this point.

Here’s a possible solution:
Get shooters to boycott firms doing business with the government. The government cannot force firms to sell to them. This could happen incrementally: first boycott Remington and Federal for 6 months, then incrementally add the others.
In the mean time, pressure Congress to cut military costs.

We didn’t think they could FORCE anyone to buy insurance either.

Indeed. The DHS will do it anyway, just like the IRS is still stonewalling tax-exempt status apps of conservatives, just like Lois Lerner still makes $180k/yr, just like Holder still has his job, just like Rice still got a promotion, just like Hillary will run for prez in 2016 even after Benghazi, just like.. Oh forget it. You get my point.

DHS sounds like my wife: “save” money by purchasing MORE than we need, so as to get a discount.

I thought the ammo thing was kind silly rightup until about 10 days ago
Given what we now know, what was previously tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff now seems like a proven conspiracy with gun control and arming of the DHS with the intent of using anti terror laws against dis armed political opposition by reclassifying them as domestic terrorists as the plan

They are buying them to use against the Tea Party and those who are aligned with them.

Janet’s got an ammo hoarding problem. We can certainly understand, with the difference being—we buy ours with our own money and we shot it, before she created the problem.
