"We've seen our Government buy a lot of ammunition lately and we have speculated 'why?' Is this routine? Do we do this every year? Are the purchase amounts in-line with what has been happening since the Bush Administration and September 11, 2001 - which changed everything? We don't know. Is the Government buying up ammo so a shortage occurs for you and me? Are we the targets? We don't know. We don't know why even the Social Security Agency is armed, while our Border Agents patrol with bean bag guns. One Retired Army Major General says the Military in Iraq used a mere 70 MILLION rounds of ammunition per year. "Compare that with the 750 million rounds of hollow point bullets that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered in March." Maybe we are getting some history after all, and keep in mind, these numbers do not include the purchases of the Pentagon/Department of Defense."

I remember that Israel was tasked at making ammo for our military while Iraq was in full swing. At that time, our troops were using far more than 70 mil. rounds per year.
They expect an uprising. They will probably get it.
The good news is there will be plenty of ammo stores to draw from when LEOs refuse to play ball with Obitler. Not all LEOs and agencies are going to turn on their friends, and neighbors.
Anything that is going to be purchased by the government has to be recorded and published somewhere.
I can’t remember the name of the archive/publication, but I remember it would have contract info such as “acme company contract #1234 for 50 widgets over the next x years” or something along those lines.
So there should be data going back eleven to twelve years, and we can see what the trend was, and what type of ammo was bought.
And what company supplied the gummint ;)
