Probably all were sent to his left wing buddies like BLM, and perhaps ISIS.
Just get them from Internal Revenue Service, I am sure they have plenty.
Hey, if the price is right...
Utterly ridiculous.
Someone ran the ammo numbers and the amount they’d bought under Obama would sustain Fallujah-tempo of operations for over 100 years.
What is going on is lying or thievery on an EPIC scale.
I agree, where the heck did all of that obama ammo go? I wonder if it is in the hands of Organizing for America, his personal coup organization.
Transfer the ammo from the Education Dept. and the IRS and the National Oceangraphic and Atmospheric Administration.
It would take decades for DHS to go through all the ammo it purchased under Obama.

1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It's Time For A National Conversation
Mar 11, 2013

The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.
As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America.
Add to this perplexing outré purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation. As observed by “paramilblogger” Ken Jorgustin last September:
[T]he Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery (apparently through the Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico VA, via the manufacturer – Navistar Defense LLC) of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.”
These MRAP’s ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions."
Regardless of the exact number of MRAP’s being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone… yes, definitely. Let’s protect our men and women. On the streets of America… ?"
“They all have gun ports… Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America…?
Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?”
Why indeed? It is utterly inconceivable that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is planning a coup d’etat against President Obama, and the Congress, to install herself as Supreme Ruler of the United States of America. There, however, are real signs that the Department bureaucrats are running amok. About 20 years ago this columnist worked, for two years, in the U.S. Department of Energy’s general counsel’s office in its procurement and finance division. And is wise to the ways. The answer to “why would DHS need such a vehicle?” almost certainly is this: it’s a cool toy and these (reportedly) million dollar toys are being recycled, without much of a impact on the DHS budget. So… why not?
Why, indeed, should the federal government not be deploying armored personnel carriers and stockpiling enough ammo for a 20-year war in the homeland? Because it’s wrong in every way. President Obama has an opportunity, now, to live up to some of his rhetoric by helping the federal government set a noble example in a matter very close to his heart (and that of his Progressive base), one not inimical to the Bill of Rights: gun control. The federal government can (for a nice change) begin practicing what it preaches by controlling itself.
Maybe you missed it, but Senator Juan McLame personally delivered the ammunition along with RPG’S, and Full Auto weapons to Hezbollah a couple weeks ago.
I thought those billions were 40 S&W.
I don’t know. I remember articles about fantastically sized RFQs being let and the answers that came back that the contracts were like an IDIQ (indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity) with a certain dollar sized ceiling (i.e., not all that ammo was actually to be bought at once).
If that is the case then I guess those contracts never hit their ceiling and expired - it does seem like it has been a while since that news came out. I just don’t know at this point.
Am I the only one thinking we have two DHSs. One overt and one covert. Overt is clearly what we are talking about in this FR article. Covert is another story entirely.
How difficult would it be to have developed under Obama a Shadow DHS and had the ammo diverted over to them. Considering how little we know about the DHS, I’d say it was damned easy especially if most of the DHS agents are pro globalist/Obama Shadow gov/Hillary/Soros and only pretend to function as the DHS we think we are familiar with.
It is time to undo the DHS along with the Dept of Education...BLM, etc.
