[The Magical Mischief Tour]

With just over 15,000 employees, that works out to just over 13,000 rounds per employee...

[rockinqsranch]

....and we gotta scrounge for ours.

[ScottinVA]

I wonder how many of those rounds will end up piercing the bodies of anti-0bama protesters at some future time.

[RavenATB]

They’re using hollow points?

[ColdOne]

Really how does this compare to previous orders?

[samadams2000]

Winchester( Olin) does not make ammo in America. (correct me if I am wrong).

[4Speed]

Hey, “O”.....you’re a little late to the Ammo party.

Homeland Security doesn’t need that much ammo.......

[G Larry]

Whew!
No competition for my preferred .45 Federal Premium, 165 Grain, Hydra-Shok, JHP.

[TxGrandMom]

Why does our government need hollow point?

[Campion]

They need 200 million rounds of ammunition for what, exactly?

[Jagman]

One for every conservative.

[edcoil]

Way our cops aim, they need it. Remember out here a few years back - 13 cops fired over 100 rounds and missed the guy... killed the van he was in but missed him.

[RJL]

Winchester Ammunition was recently awarded a contract by the Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security to supply a maximum of 200 million, 40 cal. rounds

The total population of the US is about 307 million people.

Firmly tightening the tin foil hat, what big plans does ICE and DHS have for the coming years?

[pietraynor]

Maybe they will be issued to the guards at the FEMA internment camps for conservatives.

[BuffaloJack]

I’m thinking that this is destined for Obama’s Civilian Defense Force. he’s using Homeland Security to temporarily hold the stuff until he can wage war against those who voted against him.

[I cannot think of a name]

They can have it.

I'll probably get flamed but I see no reason for the .40. If you want a good sized flying ashtray bullet, carry a .45. If you want small and concealable, carry a 9mm with decent rounds. But why take a wonderful cartridge (10mm) and neuter it because some government agents had trouble with the recoil?

At least they've chosen the 135 grain, which makes a lot more sense then the 150 to 165’s they were carrying. It's still an in-between cartridge that I just don't see a need for.

[Mom MD]

They could send any extras my way!

[G Larry]

My other thought is that most of these employees aren’t going to be taking adequate range time.

[piytar]

Thanks, TMMT (and Freeper Nation). I usually research articles for our ammo-finder site on my own, but this one from FR was too juicy not to post there, too!

[Iron Munro]

Obama's Civilian National Security Force will soon be needing ammo.

If other USA citizens see any of this ammo it will be the front of the bullet coming at us.
