The Intel Hub alerts us to a shocking new defense contract entered by the Department of Homeland Security to secure a massive amount of ammunition, with the option for infinite supply, infinite delivery.

ATK Awarded Contract to Supply 450 Million Rounds of .40 Caliber Ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security

ATK has secured a major Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity deal to supply up to 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security.

The 1 year contract with four option years comes at a time when many Americans believe that DHS, along with certain aspects of the military, will soon turn their sights on the American people during some sort of martial law scenario.

“We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE,” said Ron Johnson, the president of ATK’s Security and Sporting group,” reported a PR Newswire release.

The Department of Homeland Security has been extremely busy in the last few months.

Me thinks he’s considering there are >18,000,000 deer hunters.

That means we have 18,000,000 potential snipers. The Japanese were right not to invade the mainland United States.

Teach your children the proper use of a long gun... Rifle.
Hunting hones the ability to reach distant targets. 30.6 or 308 are my favorites.

They are going to go into the millions of sub-guns the DHS Stasis will be posting on most street corners to keep order.

This is not a big deal. Do your research or tie your leg to the table.

I was thinking the same thing—they are bringing pistols to a rifle fight.

Being a SEAL you should now how much and how fast rounds gets used. 450 mil will just cover the required qualification for all the agencies under DHS.

Ann Barnhardt: “Why The March 16th, 2012 White House Executive Order Is Different”

She lays it out better than anyone ever has. Obama is about to go full dictatorship. This must go viral! Including the short video at the end.

Sounds like a sign to buy .40s. If the SHTF, you’ll always know where you can find ammo.

Yeah, always look for the good. I’m adding a .40 to the SHTF stuff. Good observation

Oh, really? Just out of currently issued .40 caliber pistols? Would you mind informing us of the total # of feds currently on the rolls toting a .40 caliber weapon? We'd love to know. If there are so many .40 caliber toting feds that 450 million rounds is just a blip, I think that's interesting in itself, and certainly would, on a sheer numbers to population basis, be said to constitute the National Police our founding fathers so dreaded, feared and warned against.

Likely ordered to arm the TSA. And any one of those morons will require a minimum 350,000 rounds to hit anything.

I don't know what the actual numbers are in DHS and ICE, but there are 20k just in the Border Patrol. Every BP agent must qual every 3 months. Quals consist of 72 rounds just for the primary qual. This doesn't even account for ancillery mandatory quals such as night fire and various tactical quals. Just the primary quals in the Border Patrol represent around 100k rounds every 3/mo. Border Patrol Firearms Instructors alone fire between 10-30K rounds per year. The Border Patrol is just one agency among probably 20 agencies in DHS.

I don't think there is anything particularly nefarious about the ammo order, especially since it spans a five year period. However, the fact that we need that many feaking rounds just to train people properly clearly justifies your concern about an out of control government.

"That ain’t enough ammo with the amount of rifle ammo out there in real American hands. "

WE HAVE A WINNER!

"American citizens purchase more than One Billion rounds of ammo each month, every month, year after year. "

I don't disbelieve you for an instant, but do you have a source for that? I'm sure that I will be asked when I use it.
