Could anything possibly be any clearer than this, what’s in the works for us...?
To: ExxonPatrolUs
The Border Patrol is just one of many armed agencies in DHS and they use nearly 20 million rounds a year just in basic qualification. Over a 5 year period that is 100 million rounds just for the Border Patrol.

Let’s compare the efficacy of this kind of training. How much training did the officers receive who threw rounds at two vehicles that looked like the cop killer’s vehicle?

Let’s see.
One contract. 750 million rounds. To train 70,000 agents.
750,000,000 rounds for 70,000 agents. (NONE of whom are now “permitted” to arrest ANY illegal alien, by the way.....)
10,700 rounds per agent? For target practice?

Seriously, I've read that they are buying hollow points, is that the type of ammo used to qualify?
Damn expensive way to practice...

PPardon my poor math skills but 15million rounds times5 years is 75 million, not a billion. Even doubling that for good luck is only 150 million.

The training center and others like it run by the Homeland Security Department use as many as 15 million rounds every year, mostly on shooting ranges and in training exercises. So they just decided to buy about 140 years worth of ammunition for training?
Right... I wonder if there are any bridges that are up for sale?

Agreed. For them that can't quite cipher correctly, 1.6 billion is
One Thousand Six Hundred Millions.

Hollow points are not for practice. They are for the streets.

Because they can afford it. Anybody bought any .375 H&H, .416 or .458 ammo lately. A box of .460 Weatherby is creeping ever closer to $10.00/cartridge.
To: DaxtonBrown
It is 70k officers X number of rounds for qualifications X four quarters X five years
70000x100x4x5=140 million
