Gun Control through Ammo Control - Fact or Fiction

[cwsmith]

DHS is buying a hundred million rounds per year, plus armored personnel carriers for "domestic" use. There is no question in my mind about why people are hoarding ammo, and it is not for resale!

DHS may have actually needed 100, it could have been a typo on the RFQ! I could believe that.

you whistle blowers you.

Forget Snopes the straight scoop comes direct from the DHS, this is the document that was sent to the Senator who requested the information about their ammo purchases. It clearly shows over a hundred million rounds purchased in each of the last three years. There is no mistake or typo three times my friends. I posted it before on post #8, but here it is again if anyone missed it:

100 Million Plus

Interesting - I never would have guessed they are shooting 70 million rounds a year for training. Given that is essentially all government law enforcement usage combined, though, I guess that's not all that surprising.

Interesting question, though, is why there is a shortage now, when that document indicates they have been shooting in the range of 70M per year for many years.

Decocker and clip release are ambidextrous (I have both lefties and righties in the family), barrel release is not.

Thanks!
