Where are all the guns and ammo purchased under Obama?
american thinker ^ | 6/20/2020 | JOHN WATSON

During the last two years of the Obama administration, some unusual purchases were made. Large quantities of ammunition were purchased, as were firearms, mostly for somewhat obscure agencies or agencies with no real need for such weaponry. Estimates are that over 1 billion rounds of ammunition were ordered, which resulted in making ammunition scarce for the normal civilian market.

Also significant was Obama's troublesome statement made during his campaign, as follows

We cannot continue to rely only on our military ... we've got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.

What national security objectives? Surely, he is not talking about arming the civilian population, as he wants to disarm us. Why would he want such a "civilian security force"? Could it be that he realized he couldn't use the U.S. military to enforce his social dysfunction for multiple reasons? One is the Posse Comitatus laws, and another was the simple fact that the military likely would refuse his orders. Looking below, we can see he was arming agencies under his Executive Branch control.

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service spent $4.77 million purchasing shotguns, 7.62mm caliber rifles, night-vision goggles, propane cannons, liquid explosives, pyro supplies, buckshot, LP gas cannons, drones, remote-control helicopters, thermal cameras, military waterproof thermal infrared scopes and more.

The SBA loaded up their arsenals with Glock pistols. The Fish folks spent approximately $410,000 on their Glocks and rifles and modified their Glocks with silencers.

The Department of Health and Human Services was outfitted with sophisticated weaponry normally carried by Special Forces, stored at an undisclosed location.

$5 million in total purchases isn’t really all that much.

I suppose an audit would fall under the House’s oversight powers.

Perhaps it is high time that the president orders a detailed inventory and audit of these weapons and ammunition. If anything is missing, where is it? Also, has any of these weapons been used in any known crimes?


From the article. Trump is responsive. Lets print the article, send it to Trump...........................

" which resulted in making ammunition scarce for the normal civilian market. "

That was enough reason for the Kenyan to do it, but it still does not answer the question of where it went. Where the funk are you General Barr? Maybe we need to defund the worthless/ENEMY FBI and BATFE or imprison/execute them.

That was for one obscure agency.

The total spent by our govt to arm nonmilitary agencies since 2006 most of it under obama is prob closer to $2 Billion.

Well, it's way past time to disclose it.

If you want to see a high concentration of "National Socialists" just look at the DHHS.

Bought in dribs and drabs under the departments’ budgets and funneled to antifa and anarchists groups by subversives in those departments.
