Prove it. I have never seen that the US government as a whole bought as my ammo under the Bush administration as the Obama administration is purchasing. I think you are a troll making up stories to lower public awareness of these huge purchases.

“MYTH: DHS purchased an unprecedented 450 million rounds of .40 S&W 180gr hollow point bullets in 2012.

FACT: This is a standard five year contract that follows a historical purchasing pattern of DHS. Furthermore, it is not an “unprecedented” purchase by DHS. In fact, it is not even a purchase by DHS but by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Starting in 2003, orders of 50 million and 225 million .40 S&W hollow point ammunition totaling 275 million rounds were purchased. After the expiration of the five year contracts in 2008, ICE purchased an additional 575 million rounds of .40 S&W hollow point ammunition with two separate orders (200 million and 375 million). Now, with the expiration of the 2008 contract, ICE has ordered a maximum of 450 million rounds over the next five years.”

Or, if you don’t believe Breitbart, go to www.fbo.gov and look up the purchases yourself, it’s all a matter of public record, so there is no excuse for ignorance.

Now, who is the troll “making up stories”? Me, who presents facts, or the paranoid conspiracy mongers, who omit them?
