WTF...The Department of Homeland security has just executed an order for enough rounds of 40 caliber ammunition to kill every man, woman and child in the United States.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Maybe they are going to make free ammo a part of ObamaCare like contraception. Women’s reproductive rights, after all.
Probably because law enforcement agencies are standardizing under .40 from the mix of calibers they have used in the past. (I’ve seen several references to this over the past 6 or 7 years on LEO forums). It is a slow process but it seems a logical explanation.
Napalitano gonna secure the border?
A dog is to get me to my pistol which is to get me to my rifle which can get me to real weapons.
450M rounds of pistol ammo is just stupid. Which is normal for our feral gooberment.

Keep undocumented workers from leaving to go to Mexico to get jobs before the election?
To give to the Mexican Drug Cartels, of course. (I’m not racist. I capitalized the M in Mexican)
The warning signs continue to mount. Hussein Obama will not let the 2012 election stop his plans to make everyone a slave to the state.
We need to get ready. We need to be prepared to fight for our freedom and overthrow the tyrants.
WTF...They intend to include Canadians too?
Its probably for all the TSA agents that will be forward moved to our roadway roadblocks for “inspections”. This is a major go signal. Time to end this madness.
I swear this: I will take down at least five of them before I give up the ghost. Bring it, Janet Incompetano. Bring it.
Obama’s civilian army. Its only a matter of time before they are turned on the people.
That sounds extremely high unless they are going to supply other agencies too. I remember when there was something like 5,000 IRS special agents, so lets guess high and say there are 10,000 armed TSA agents.
That works out to 45,000 rounds for each one, and that is probably a low guess.

Some of us will take more than one shot to go.

Sounds like a sign to buy .40s. If the SHTF, you’ll always know where you can find ammo.
The only rational thing I can think of is for target practice for the agents. There’s no way 40 cal pistols would be any match against serious opposition.
Question: What does such a sizeable order do to the available supplies for the manufacture of ammunition in this country overall?
Is this intended to corner the market on those supplies leaving citizens without resources for ammunition?
I wouldn’t put it past the bastards.
That ain’t enough ammo with the amount of rifle ammo out there in real American hands.
They didn't. They signed a contract that sets pricing for up to 450 million rounds (infinite supply, infinite delivery). Expect a series of smaller orders.
