Consists of about 300 uniformed commissioned officers.

Great! The border patrol shooting bean bags and the weather service shooting live rounds.

We need a satire/non-satire tag on these posts.

I think they are trying to buy it all up so regular gun buffs cannot locate ammo.

I share that theory with you. However, they're underestimating the ability of the manufacturers to create new ammo. After all, they've been on steady production ramp-up since November 2008.

It truly sounds like it is time for the Tea Party to advocate a new federal bill, the “Disarming of non-military and non-police federal agencies act”.

[Little Ray]

But why is it all pistol ammo?
I’d be worried if they were ordering 5.56mm or 6.8 spc, 7.62 NATO, or .50 BMG. Or even 12 gauge. But they’re ordering pistol ammo.

[Never on my watch]

In all, 40,000 rounds of ammunition, and only 500 Transtar II blue 24″ x 40″ targets are being ordered.

Practice?! I don't need no stinkin' practice!

[MachIV]

I think it’s a bit more sinister than that although that’s bad enough. .40S&W is practically the standard round for hand guns used by a huge chunk of police around the country, namely in the Glock 22.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you need to threaten to report me to the Admin if I don’t add you to the list...

There is probably an order for Brown Shirts somewhere in the budget as well.

NOAA also controls the nation’s fisheries in the same inept manner that it reports the weather. Perhaps they want to present a stronger enforcement front to those “nasty” old fishermen off of Cape Cod.

Aye

[Lazamataz]

I know for a fact the agency I work for has not been universally armed.

I would have welcomed it. FREE GUNS.

[X-spurt]

Patriots hold enough ammo to snuff the tyrants 10,000 time over.

This is either for the previous mentioned research vessel’s protection or is just gubmit pissin away funds before the new management takes over. Don’t be surprised in a few years a whole lot of gubmit surplus ammo up for sale.

I've seen some of these clowns shoot. 500 targets will be sufficient. Most of them will come back unscathed.

DHS hunger for more ammunition is a sign of fear and weakness

that may well be but I also think these humongous orders of ammo by fed agencies is a red flag that the fed plans to order and enforce a stop on all manufacturing and sales of ammo. When society has no food or ammo left, it's game over.

This is from research that Jared did on the 9-12 website and this info came out in March 2012 around the time of the article “Four Thousand New IRS ‘enforcement’ agents.”

Here’s more research on this from Jared.

Four thousand NEW IRS ‘enforcement’ agents.

In addition to the untold thousands of armed ‘Law Enforcement Officers’ outside of the U.S. Armed Forces, from the EPA’s jack-booted thugs, to excess IRS ‘enforcement’ agents, to the sixty-five law enforcement organizations within the Executive Branch of the federal government outside of the Dep’t of Homeland Security and the U.S. Armed Forces, already added since the Barack Hussein Obama Regime began their occupation of the White House and the rest of the federal government’s executive branch apparatus, the sheer number of Obama’s private army is simply staggering...

And the left has snuck them all into the mix right under our noses, slowly, over time, with few, if any of us, noticing.

If you’re not familiar with that of which I speak, consider the following ‘law enforcement agencies’ within the Executive branch of the federal government, outside of DHS and the U.S. Armed Forces (some of them do have legitimate functions, such as the FBI and the CIASPS, but the SIGTARP?

UNTIL I DID THE RESEARCH FOR THIS ARTICLE, I had no idea of the size of the private army that Obama ALREADY HAS at his disposal.

And as Glenn Beck mentioned in his talk radio show on GBTV earlier this week, the U.S. State Department has direct command authority over the contractors in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, as well.

Then there’s the non-Coast Guard LEOs within DHS.

Yeah. Hiding in plain sight.

It’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that we’ve been living in a quasi-police state for many years, which has been slowly built up to enable somebody like Obama to do what he plans to do. After all, all of those untold tens of thousands (or is it hundreds of thousands?) of gun-toting feds constitute a CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE that is JUST AS STRONG, JUST AS WELL FUNDED, as the U.S. Military, or at least, it will be, once defense cuts are fully in place.

I knew that all of these existed, and I simply ignored them, assuming they were proper and necessary for the functioning of the executive branch of government. And to some extent, that case can be reasonably made. But it has gotten far too huge, especially keeping in mind Obama’s declaration referenced in the preceding paragraph. Do we really need TWENTY-SIX OFFICES OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL within the executive branch of the federal government, all outside of DHS and the U.S. Armed Forces? Do we?

WE MUST DEFEND DEFENSE FROM FURTHER BUDGET CUTS, AND CUT ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS & AGENCIES, ASAP!!!

When we have that under control, we must scale back the extent of federal law enforcement outside of the FBI!!

[Oztrich Boy]

Shouldn’t there be concern over people accquiring thousands of rounds of ammunition?

Very entertaining ping images...in a macabre way of course.

Arming weathermen. I guess that’s where 0kaka wants to get his army from, every single g.d. federal employee.
