The Department Of Homeland Security Is Buying 450 Million New Bullets

This regime is gonna need them in an attempt to quell the impending riots that Zero is ginning up before the Nov 6 date.

WILL THERE BE AN ELECTION??

Another worthless gubment employee who like Vice President Biden wanted a job that doesn’t require production. Need to add a picture of motorcycle cops and A State Senator.

[New Jersey Realist]

Getting ready for the coming revolution perhaps?????

Oddly enough, I just saw that Midway USA is advertising limited quantities of .40 S&W ammo as over runs / surplus from DHS.

[JTHomes]

Ballistic inaccuracies in this article aside, I wonder if this is an effort to squeeze supply and make ammo more expensive for the rest of us. Doesn’t seem like 450MM over 5 years would do much if 10 Billion rounds a year are sold, but could choke supplies of specific calibers. DHS looking more like the Peacekeepers from Hunger Games.

Just doing the math...it seems like there must be plans for DHS to add a whole heap of operatives. Training can involve simulations, then work with 22 shorts, and then full calibre weapons. 450 million rounds of full calibre ammo is a hefty order indeed.

Bringing a .40 to a 7.62X39/.308/30-06/300 Win Mag/.338 Lapua/.50 cal fight.

They are making these purchases not to protect Americans but to subdue and terrorize Americans. If Obama is reelected he will have a lot more flexibility. You and your family will not be safe.

450 million bullets.

That’s enough to kill every American with 140 million bullets left over.

Even so, come Lord Jesus!

[CollegeRepublican]

Not this again! They are not buying 450 million rounds. It is basically an open contract. When they need rounds they can order them from this vendor. It is like the vendor is preapproved contractor for selling bullets to DHS.

Even if they were buying that many rounds. Split up between every DHS employee, it probably would not cover their training. The army probably buys billions of bullets each year.

[Free Vulcan]

Obama’s a little delusional if he thinks he’s going to take this country with pistol rounds.

[ctdonath2]

That’s just .40 rounds.
DHS is also ordering 150M .223 rounds.

Enough to implement a District 13 solution.
(In The Hunger Games, 12 districts submit to total control lest they too be wiped out like District 13.)

[In God I trust]

I invite all of you to go to youtube and type in martial law and also fema camps. There will be no election IMHO.

“The high performance HST bullets are designed for law enforcement and ATK says they offer “optimum penetration for terminal performance.”

There goes the argument that they are for training. These are pp rounds meant for you and me.

[Afterguard]

Bingo! I don’t even own a .40, but rifle rounds... I make my own.

[EdReform]

Precisely
