Are the feds artificially creating an ammo shortage?



Thanks for the heads up Mike.

via InfoWars.

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).
Read it all here. 

NOTE:  No one trains with hollow points. They MIGHT qualify with hollow points but you don't train with them.  Second.  Even if DHS is buying for the entire federal law enforcement alphabet soup then this is still a lot of ammo.  Last.  It sure looks like they're stockpiling the stuff.  The real question is why?

  1. umm Solomon, don't give to much credence to Infowars. They are a disgusting 9/11 "truther" site who often make up bullshit to feed insane conspiracy theorists. As for the ammo, as you know, proper firearms training takes up huge amounts of ammo, and as we all know, the Feds LOVE spending that taxpayer money.

    1. not big on info wars but i am big on certified research and the solicitations that they link to are real. the amount of ammo the DHS is buying is real and it far exceeds what is considered ordinary in a normal year...or even three.
