This is likely off topic of this site - but scary and something people need to be aware of! What's going on here?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchases 21.6 Million More Rounds of Ammunition

Federal agency has now acquired enough bullets to wage 30 year war

Paul Joseph Watson - Infowars.com - February 7, 2013

The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest.

A solicitation posted yesterday on the Fed Bid website details how the bullets are required for the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.

The solicitation asks for 10 million pistol cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds) and 10 million 9mm 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds).

The document also lists a requirement for 1.6 million pistol cartridge 9mm ball bullets (40 quantities of 40,000 rounds).

An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion. In March 2012, ATK announced that they had agreed to provide the DHS with a maximum of 450 million bullets over four years, a story that prompted questions about why the feds were buying ammunition in such large quantities. In September last year, the federal agency purchased a further 200 million bullets.

To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.

Such massive quantities of ammo purchases have stoked fears that the agency is preparing for some kind of domestic unrest. In 2011, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.

The federal agency’s primary concern is now centered around thwarting “homegrown terrorism,” but information produced and used by the DHS to train its personnel routinely equates conservative political ideology with domestic extremism.

A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.

In August 2012, the DHS censored information relating to the amount of bullets purchased by the federal agency on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which is threatening a situation that could cause “substantial safety issues for the government” should law enforcement officials not be adequately armed.

As we highlighted last month, the DHS’ previous ammunition solicitation was awarded to Evian Group, an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation and appeared to be little more than a front organization since it didn’t have a genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.

While Americans are being browbeaten with rhetoric about the necessity to give up semi-automatic firearms in the name of preventing school shootings, the federal government is arming itself to the teeth with both ammunition and guns. Last September, the DHS purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.”

not just DHS

other agencies are doing the same. NOAA and Social Security also need large amounts of ammo? Really? For what possible purpose?

The authors of referenced article got the units wrong...
Should be quantity 100 of 1000 and quantity 40 of 1000 for 100,000 total and 40,000 total.

consider

The DHS includes some little groups like Immigration, Coast Guard, and other law enforcement groups so it's not so unusual after all is it?

Stop and think!

The DHS includes almost all of federal law enforcement, most of which do carry handguns. Most of this ammo will be used on target ranges, not to shoot citizens. True, some of it will be put into stock for 'in case'. How loud would you scream if they ran out of ammo during a fire fight with a gang of bank robbers?

You folks need to think before you start screaming "conspiracy"!

Maybe

Over 40 rounds were used just yesterday in gunning down 2 Latino women delivering newspapers.

Who's loving this?

Come on folks, who do you suppose is loving the fear and discussions like this? Why the gun and ammo manufacturers, that's who. Fear is pervasive, and as long as you continue to believe in these "conspiracy's" they will continue to get rich off of your money. Got to love free enterprise, eh?

so how is this related to gps?

Yes, you are right that this is off topic. There are other sites receptive to such chatter. Please don't trash this one.

We need a POI for "Ammo Availible"

A Ammo in Stock POI would be nice

Moderation Note

This is a politically sensitive topic.
