"
DHS ammo purchases were lower in 2012 than in 2011, and lower in 2011 than in 2010. Ammo shortages are ENTIRELY the result of post-Newtown panic buying, panic buying as a result of news of ammo shortages, panic buying because of idiotic, false articles about huge DHS ammo purchases, and then more panic buying because of news of even larger ammo shortages. I will of course be flamed for this, but Inhofe and Lucas are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and this bill is also political pandering to the people who got suckered into the DHS ammo panic."
It appears in reality, though, that the Dept. of Hag Scholars has been stocking up for "SHTF," "TEOTWAWKI," waves of attacking veteran/redneck "zombies" of the "patriarchy" and all of that.
From the article, "
In fiscal year 2012, DHS says it bought about 103 million bullets for $36.5 million, giving the department a total of about 246 million rounds stockpiled for training and operational use." It appears that some ladies in Democrat government are paranoid and freaking out.
The bill "would prohibit every government agency except the military from buying more ammunition each month, than the monthly average it purchased from 2001 to 2009." That's not so unreasonable. More now than ever, government spending needs to be cut, and government waste should be cut first.
Most of the panic was caused by the civilian hysteria in, and emanating from, the offices rightly in question. Fears of large parts of our law-abiding American population were published in strange projections against healthier folks (abnormal fears of veterans, religious people, patriotic Americans,...). Threats have been implied against the American population without explanation or apology. There might be a clue for a more in-depth analysis of today's false security bureaucracy in the following.
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
We cannot win a war waged against our western culture and religions with civilian police work alone. Fighting men in military forces are needed for that. The following is a good account of how such a war can be won.

The bill "would prohibit every government agency except the military from buying more ammunition each month, than the monthly average it purchased from 2001 to 2009." That's not so unreasonable.Actually, it's very unreasonable, since there are more agents/officers now than between 2001 and 2009. If you wish to take away ammo from the Border Patrol, then feel free to push and vote for this BS.
