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 (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 nights 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 (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.

“DHS could shoot us all- with hollow points:”
Uh, I think thats the plan.
Oh, its just for practice. Uh, no dude its not and anybody who shoots knows these rounds are not for practice and why. You will be in the first die off and I’ll feel bad about it for about 15 seconds until I remember that I posted to you several timeS that THESE ROUNDS ARE NOT FOR PRACTICE, THEY ARE FOR YOU!!
Excellent point. When people ask what can the population do against an army, well, this guy shows how stupid that army can be.
A guy out here in NM shot down the Sheriff’s Dept. chopper with a .30-06 a few years back.
This is why all the local sheriffs in the country refusing to confiscate guns won't make a difference.
The Obama Schutz Staffel will be the confiscators. They will hurt anyone who gets in their way.
Sounds like you must be related to Henry Bowman ;-)
I have been thinking about this for a while, and I think I know how to orchestrate a peaceful preemptive strike.
We dont need a list of the ammo being bought with our own money.
WE NEED A LIST OF THE TRIGGER PULLERS.
Perhaps a group such as Anonymous can help, or an insider can help, but some how we need a list of every DHS employee with the addresses of their homes, as well as their relatives homes and we need it posted on multiple servers with their GPS coordinates and interactive maps with precise driving directions to their homes. Get it up on multiple sites all at once so it will be archived on as many servers as possible.
Once this information is made known, their loyalties will be tested.
In this way, we can manage a PEACEFUL RESOLUTION BEFORE THE SHTF.
I think it would be the single most effective deterrent to protect our freedom. All of us need to get the word out, through formal requests, through insider whistle blowers to hackers or what have you. We need to execute quickly to nip this thing in the bud.
