Over the last year, the DHS has purchased nearly 2 billion rounds of mostly hollow point ammunition, more than 2,700 MRAP vehicles designed to withstand mine blasts,DHS did NOT buy MRAP's.
That Internet hoax, started by Drudge, was debunked HERE.

Most folks could be reasonably excused, as one rolls down their street, for not appreciating the engineering distinctions . . .

Never mind MRAP designation. Is it functionally similar?

I’ll look the data over, but let us be clear on this: Little Green Footballs and Business Insider are whackjob leftist websites.

They also didn’t buy 2 billion rounds of ammunition over the last year either. They initiated a multi-year purchase contract, but to phrase it like they took delivery of 2 billion rounds and have them sitting in a warehouse somewhere is just plain deceptive. Unfortunately, the gullible ones on FR eat this alarmist junk up because it dovetails with their suspicions.
Libs aren’t the only ones who can be blinded by what they want to believe.
