Fox 45 Story on HSA Ammo Buyup

[Hatter]

I just caught the end of this story, anyone have a link to the full verion?

The gist was that Homeland Security was buying up millions of rounds of 9mm and 40 cal ammo in hollowpoint and ball (not training ammo as claimed).

Wonder if they are planning an eBay sale to bolster funding during the sequester?

Edit: I did some looking online. It seems the 40 cal is old news, but the 9mm buyup is more recent. Never did find a link on the Fox 45 website for that story though.

Good to see it finally hit mainstream

They have other plans.

Wondered why Walmart was running out so fast. Maybe HS watches the threads

something big is about to jump off, and they don't want that ammo on the streets

Not sure who they are going to use to man these vehicles. I have yet to see vacancy announcements in USAjobs.......

Homeland Security contracted for 1.625 Billion rounds of ammo in the first 10 months of 2012. That's 5 rounds per American citizen (about 325 million). That included training ammunition loaded with hollow point bullets. Training ammunition isn't loaded with hollow point bullets. Homeland Security's website says they have 230,000 employees. 1.625 Billion divided by 230,000 is 7,060 rounds for each employee. If only one in ten of those employees is a shooter, that's 70,600 rounds each. And hollow point bullets are banned in International conflicts by the Geneva Conventions. Who's DHS going to war with? I'm alarmed.

US citizens have been purchasing on the order of a billion rounds per year for many years now.

There's far more ammo and small arms in private hands than in the hands of gov.

Whats troubling is the DHS purchase of 2700 MRAPs....the thought of a TSA level employee running around with armor is disturbing......

Gee it sounds like they are planning on a bigger Domestic mission than Iraq and Afghanistan.
