If the DHS is buying up all the ammo for the purpose of making ammo scarce, why havn’t the Russians stepped in with their Wolf, Brown and Silver Bear and Tupelov ammo? The government won’t buy those brands and I can’t see the Russians passing up an opportunity to make a quick buck. So, where is it? Is the Rusky ammo being bought up as soon as it comes into the country, or is the importation of commie ammo being hindered?
DHS bought less ammo last year than it did last year, and a LOT less ammo than it did two years ago.
They only bought a bit over 100 million rounds last year, and since they plan to spend about the same amount of money this year, it's going to be about 100 million rounds this year.
Any ammo shortages have NOTHING to do with DHS; they're caused by panic buying in fear of gun control after Newtown, and panic buying caused by stupid articles inducing fear of a non-existent DHS-induced ammo shortage.
