A desperate tyrant’s cynical answer to the 2nd amendment?

Is it perhaps time that hillbillies and rednecks get their own wicked ammo?

I question the need for any government bureaucracy that is not the NSA, FBI, or CIA needing guns to do their job. This is not an anti-gun comment, but there should be minimal separation between the government and people.

If a bureaucrat thinks he’s in a danger that is more than he can handle, he should be working with the sheriff’s department.

No one has yet said what the purpose of these purchases is, though we are led to believe that they will be used only in an emergency to counteract and control civil unrest.

Oh, yes, we're being led to believe this! IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY TO DUPE US BEFORE THEY ROLL UP AND KILL US ALL. /sarc

BTW, bullets by themselves are worthless, unless you're firing them from slingshots. CARTRIDGES, on the other hand, are only slightly less worthless without a firearm to go around them. On the other other hand, maybe the shadowy figures behind it all are planning a political and social coup via blackpowder weaponry.

We have watched them attack and kill the ‘who’ since the late 1980s, the people in flyover country.

From a friend of mine who is retired federal Law Enforcement:

The Honorable (Insert Senator’s/Congressperson’s name here)

I am writing to ask that your office officially look into the massive quantity of small arms ammunition various agencies in the federal government are buying with a 60 day delivery date. These agencies range from Department of Homeland Security to National Weather Service to Social Security Administration. (Why would the Social Security Administration require ANY ammunition, especially 174,000 .357 SIG and 174,000 .40 cal S&W)? .357 SIG is not a standard round for any agency. It is a bottle-necked cartridge (.40 cal casing necked down to a .357 bullet—capable of penetrating most body armor). Add to this “very interesting” order the various agencies NOW buying the below:

• Over one million rounds of hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• Over half a million rounds of non-hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• 220,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #7 ammo (target ammo)
• Over 200,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #00 buckshot ammo (tactical anti-personnel ammo)
• 66,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun slugs (tactical anti-personnel, anti-vehicle rounds)
• Over two million rounds of hollow-point .357 Sig JPH (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over four million rounds of .40 S&W JPH (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over 60,000 rounds of .308 match grade anti-personnel sniper rounds (BTHP)
• Plus, hundreds of thousands of additional rounds of .38 special, .45 auto, 9mm, 7.62x39 (AK rifle) ammo, and others.

This is on top of the massive 450 million .40 S&W hollow point rounds the DHS has already requisitioned. (All above can be verifed on government websites regarding contract solicitations).

We need answers to what this is all about, and why now?

What do they know or expect, and when did they decide to act?

Who exactly requires this amount of ammo for civilian agencies (and don’t let them tell you it’s for training...not hollow points).

Keep in mind that the above stockage would provide every single member of the US armed forces with over 400 rounds per person.

Who is REALLY going to use all this? And against who?

Please keep me advised. I am sending a copy of this to selected individuals in other states so that they can make similar inquiries with their respective senators and representatives.

Time is of the essence. I fear this has something to do with anticipated election results or some other event we have not been made aware of.

Sincerely,

(Insert your name and address)

It’s pretty embarrassing for a retired General to be this astoundingly ignorant.

I don’t even have time to deal with ALL the stupidities in these articles over and over again, but some highlights:

1) Hollow point ammo is routinely used by law enforcement in the US, because it’s less likely to pass through a target, or richochet. Why are so-called conservatives falling all over themselves to be as willfully ignorant about aspects of guns as the Left is?

In these stories the magical evil of “HOLLOW POINT BULLETS!!!” matches the “ASSAULT RIFLE!!!” nonsense from blithering left-wing idiots.

2) The ammo is going to the SSA Office of Inspector General. They have a small force of armed agents that investigate social security fraud. In many cases this involves going into pretty sketchy neighborhoods and dealing with fairly dangerous people.

3) Like most LE agencies their ammo purchases aren’t based on a calculation of how many people they are going to shoot. It’s ammo to be carried, and also for target practice. Apparently it would be cheaper to not use the hollow point for practice, and local LE agencies often do that, so there might be some small-scale government waste going on here.

4) The NOAA purchase is going to National Marine Fisheries Agents, who have been armed for many years.

Every bullet the gubmint purchases is done so with the intent a human be shot. This cannot be said about civilian ammo purchases.

Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot?

Anyone running at them or from them anyone agreeing with them or disputing them which means just about anyone they want to shoot !

Even if they did trust you they know you don't trust them and they can't chance you turning on them at any critical moment !

Well, 0bama a few months back floated a trial balloon threatening to withhold military pay. Imagine how angry some would get if he ordered the withholding of SENIOR’S SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS? Seniors aren’t like today’s anti-gun, lemming youth.. Seniors are armed and more likely to revolt!

I will cut to the chase and simply answer the question.

They intend to shoot us. It’s really that simple.
