Why on earth does DHS need over 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition?

What is it about internet forums that brings out the crazy in so many people

Anonymity.

Yeah, as the saying goes: "Even a broken clock is right twice a day."

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you, however you have to look back at Fast & Furious and that makes me wonder if AJ's scenario is actually what they are intending to potentially do. They were more than willing to endanger the lives of American Citizens, get a Border Agent killed, and be the cause of thousands of Mexicans getting gunned down in Mexico; so it actually isn't much of a stretch to assume they intend to use those bullets on the American people.

In any event I think Eric Holder needs to be thrown in jail and Obama needs to be Impeached.

Even if DHS had 1 billion rounds of ammo and got 100% utilization of our 1.4 million military combat troops, they wouldn't have much luck being outnumbered 100 to 1 (if we're talking about a battle of purely bullets).

Most gun owners I know (myself included) always have a couple hundred rounds on hand...

They'd need to resort to tanks and big weapons to fight that kind of battle...which if they were going to do that, why bother buying the 1 billion rounds of ammo?

I know one thing for sure. I ain't buying ammo right now, unless I can get it at a decent price. WalMart so far hasn't decided to up the price 400%, but try finding .22 ammo. How on earth could we be out of .22 ammo? Such a terrorist caliber. Good for plinking cans. If I want stress relief at the gun range, I don't shoot .22

Yeah I agree. I see much less crazy on Facebook

You want crazy, just listen to an Obama speech. REAL CRAZY.

By all means, provide us with your analysis of why DHS is buying a billion rounds of ammo?

Something that makes everyone at the range stop and stare at me.

I don't have any reason to believe they are.

At least the DHS got a good deal they only paid about 21 cents a round for 40 cal Hollow points.

It's sad what the internet has done to make crazy seem rational. Alex Jones is a crook.

This has nothing to do with Alex Jones...I gave you a US government site as a source.

So did you read the links? (particularly the 2nd one)?

Those aren't from an Alex Jones site, it's from government website looking for bids on who can fill their ammunition order.

The ammo type and quantities (in thousands) are all specified starting on page 2.

Either you have something valid to contribute or you don't.

I'm assuming you didn't even bother to read the links since you main goal was just to chime in on a thread for the sake of comparing people you disagree with to Alex Jones...am I right?

Now, I've given you a source (and even told you which page of the PDF to go to)...feel free to come back once you've actually read it.

Alex Jones, Jim Jones, its all good as long as you can villify the "other." (Was never too worried about keeping up with the Joneses, myself)

There was no purchase of a billion rounds and I did click the links one was just the home page. Yes they said thousands. Police departments buy thousands.
