You can’t write a scenario creepier than this. This deal for the 450 million rounds to Homeland Security over 4 yrs happens last week then this take over EO is signed. To think the 2 are unrelated is idiotic. So once again when will Boehner and company ask why does Homeland Security need 450 million hollow-point rounds? I’m just aghast at how fast this is all happening now.
There is no way that Homeland Security could use 450M rounds, even if every agent allowed a gun goes through more practice than a Delta Force member. The only possible legitimate excuse I could think of would be to maintain a reserve stockpile for all US law enforcement, but that would be better implemented by giving a grant to each police unit to buy and maintain 10K or more rounds, subject to inspection.
