Billions of rounds of hollow points, black helicopters- what does it all mean?

At IBD Andrew Malcolm ask the question:

Why are the feds loading up on so much ammo?

In a puzzling, unexplained development, the Obama administration has been buying and storing vast amounts of ammunition in recent months, with the Department of Homeland Security just placing another order for an additional 21.6 million rounds.

Several other agencies of the federal government also began buying large quantities of bullets last year. The Social Security Administration, for instance, not normally considered on the frontlines of anything but dealing with seniors, explained that its purchase of millions of rounds was for special agents' required quarterly weapons qualifications. They must be pretty poor shots.

But DHS has been silent about its need for numerous orders of bullets in the multiple millions. Indeed, Examiner writer Ryan Keller points out Janet Napolitano's agency illegally redacted information from some ammunition solicitation forms following media inquiries.

This administration did something illegal? Shocking.

DHS could shoot us all- with hollow points:

According to one estimate, just since last spring DHS has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. That's sufficient firepower to shoot every American about five times. Including illegal immigrants.

To provide some perspective, experts estimate that at the peak of the Iraq war American troops were firing around 5.5 million rounds per month. At that rate, DHS is armed now for a 24-year Iraq war.

Question is, against whom?

Did Obama hint at why in 2008?

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

It's not just this either. Events start to add up:

Black helicopters appear in US cities:

Miami

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Some members of the U.S. military were busy in Miami Thursday night as they conducted exercises in Downtown Miami.

CBS4 captured video of Black Hawk helicopters flying over the city as part of a joint military training exercise.

Thursday night’s training took place near the Stephen P. Clark Center in Miami and a nearby Metrorail station where troops could be seen rappelling from the military choppers onto the Metrorail station platform.

Houston

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The sight of Army helicopters and the sound of gunfire created a lot of concern Monday afternoon in one Houston neighborhood.

We received a lot of phones calls, Tweets and Facebook posts from worried neighbors, wondering what was going on.

SkyEye 13 HD was over the south side where at first look, it appeared there was a massive SWAT scene happening.

With military helicopters flying above her southeast Houston neighborhood, Frances Jerrals didn't know what to think.

"When you see this, you think the worst. When you hear this, you think the worst," Jerrals said.

And so, she passed along her concern.

"She told me 'don't come home it sounds like we're in a war zone. Guns, shooting, helicopters flying around the house,'" Isaac Robertson Jr. said.

The U.S. Army along with other agencies took over the old Carnegie Vanguard High School near Scott and Airport. There were armed men in fatigues, plenty of weapons and what many thought were real live rounds

"I felt like I was in a warzone." Jerrals said. "It was nonstop. I was terrified."

Gunfire? In a residential neighborhood? Yes, blanks, but without warning?

We had Janet Napolitano warning us of domestic terrorists such as US military veterans, pro-life groups and those opposing illegal immigration.

I think that is the goal of Barry and Napolitano: Dry up the supply of ammo — this is the most efficient way to do it - buy it all up now ostensibly under a 5-year contract. Then, do whatever you need to do with the Sheeple on your own timetable.

That is a lot more of a logical conclusion than some of the conspiracies going around.

[Why do they need so much ammo?]

Because many of them are lousy marksmen.

Obama is using your taxes to prepare for using hollow point cartridges (cop killer bullets says Sarah Brady) and military choppers on malcontents and damgerous extremists like you and your family!

- Obama may also be getting “a piece of da action” for himself and his Chi-Town buddies -

But he would not do that would he?

- Janet Nappy is exploring a run for President in 2016 - she needs to stock up on supplies.....

His own base, essentially. They are worried about mass insurrection in urban areas when the inevitable economic dislocation makes the EBT cards stop working. They may have to pretend they are after "the lone white gun nut" for reasons of political correctness - but that isn't who scares them.

This just happened in my mother’s neighborhood - another swat team. She lives in one of the dullest, most dozy towns in New Jersey. What’s going on?

such people have been ‘prematurely expiring’ over the last 10 months.

looks like someone else had your exact thought... and is removing the problem from the board

Much panty-wadding about nothing, as is pointed out every time this same stuff is posted yet again.

It means that in addition to your guns and ammo, you need body armor and a PASGT helmet.

Why does Social Security need ammo? And what is the point of the “military exercises” over major American cities? I believe Obama would have no problem killing Americans if they got in his way. But would our military follow his orders?
