We know the answer: if one was old, on SS or close to it, and lost it all, one is bound to get ‘upset’ and those running things can’t have that, that is all.

The Democrats don’t have any problems with guns as long as they get to say who the guns are pointed at.

Zombies, of course. The government is “prepping.” It’s the greatest of the latest fads. If they prepare for the “marauding hordes,” they’ll stay rich and live forever. ;-)

For anyone who is buying into the argument that 1.2 billion rounds of ammo is just a normal purchase bear in mind that the military only used about 70 million rounds per year in Iraq.

The government should fear it’s citizens, not the other way around.

Maybe they should be looking over their shoulders. People are fed up.

I was told that each federal agent must shoot something like 25,000 rounds a year at the practice range as part of job skill maintenance. As there are about 20,000 of these people.....do the math. It’s a lot of rounds, but harmless in intent.

My theory: SS and other agencies are buying ammo for Homeland Security, which will be the domestic version of the US Military for putting down any insurrections.

This move MUST be to dry up supply and availability, while raising prices.

Giving a bunch of pencil pushers, weapons, is not exactly a threat to the American people.

Now, I know there are a lot of desk jockies, like me, who cringe at this characterization.

But, given the agencies these newly endowed staffers work for, what are the odds they have ever fired a weapon or are the least bit proficient with one?

I seem to recall some years back, the Department of Education ordered a bunch of 12ga riot shotguns and tactical buckshot ammo. The Freepers online at the time speculated that Department of Education was setting up their own SWAT teams.
