The people and the government are both arming up in preparation for an armed conflict between the two.
US ammo makers sell to those that want us dead.
Always remember this.
In a few years the government will say they lost it all in a boating accident.
Bush created a monster when he created the DHS.
Imagine a heavily armed, massive, expensive top-down Gov’t bureaucracy state-security apparatus with a political agenda.
Give it time to develop and expand its “mission” as all bureaucracies do, and in 15-20 years, you will know what I mean.
Obama’s “civilian defense force”?
DUH.
They’re bad shots.
Congress needs to defund DHS and tell DHS to fund itself by selling amo.
I have a feeling that the Army ammunition usage cited is across literally every single member of the US army (only a small fraction of which are small-arms toting infantrymen) so it’s distorted by tens of thousands of REMFs, aviation guys, tankers, and other specialists who do very, very little small arms practice.
Agree it’s a monster but Bush didn’t see it coming. He proved his bonafides in protecting the homeland but it wasn’t because of the DHS that he was successful, and he knows it. And if you recall, Democrats were the most keen on doing this and that the TSA for instance have government employees as screeners. That it not be contracted out. Bottom line is they wanted more government union members and dues.
Now the Obama regime is using this in a way Bush didn’t foresee. But Bush will never say a word about current presidential policies and issues just like 41 didn’t. It’s a family code you don’t break, once out of presidential office.
I don’t think they’re necessarily arming up as much as they are trying to corner the market on ammo in an effort to deny it to gun owners.
The record speaks for itself. This administration has used every tool in the book to try and get to gun owners.
GE Capital not lending to gun related industries and now publicly admitting it.
Bank of America terminating accounts of gun businesses.
The list is endless and endlessly diffuse. It is all happening just below the surface so that anyone who calls attention to it for what it really is can easily be marginalized as a kooky conspiratorialist.
It is real.
There is a parade in Detroit. Two Islamic yoots on welfare blow up the route and people are killed and wounded. The entire US and federal law enforcement aparatus goes full scale operations to nab the bombers who fled to hide in Dearborn Michigan. The locals and feds start that door to door crap in Dearborn like they did in Boston..........Except three of five homes happen to be the followers of Muhammad, and immigrated here from the middle east.
Welcome to our own little Bosnia / Serbia pressure cooker.
How many Department of Homeland Security employees need to spend even one round of ammo in their entire career?
I'll bet more time has been spend investigating the political opponents of Obama (Republicans, conservatives, and Tea Party members) than time spent on radical Muslims.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen and his/her ammo supply.
Granted, they do Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. Secret Service.
Even given that, how many of these 70,000 are pencil pushers whose biggest threat of being directly confronted with any illegal activity is eating something from Krispy Kreme that has improper nutritional labeling?
DHS bought a ton of Ammo, Probably, becaus they know there is going to be a limit on the amount each legal Citizen will be able to buy..
There is nothing Sacred to the OAF in the White House.
I think the firearm manufacturers have more clout than ammunition manufacturers. They’ll probably see their taxes magically double, or triple if they refuse to sell to the government.

And it will show up in the arsenals of drug gangs and al Qaeda-linked Muslim Brotherhood. Fast, Furious & Fatal.
