"The Department Of Homeland Security Is Buying 450 Million New Bullets" No, they are not. They are buying 450 million rounds of ammunition, which happens to incorporate shellcases, primers, powder and bullets. A "round" is known as a "cartridge". Multiple cartridges are known as "ammunition".

"Bullets" are those little thingies that are launched by a firearm and fly thru the air until they contact their target or the ground.

Bullets are to cartridges as cement is to concrete, as flour is to bread, etc. When will everyone learn?

When most writers hired for news reporting by news publications are healthy, heterosexual men again. News should be reported by analytical minds. That's not likely to happen before the bond collapse and remainder of default process, though, because most of the bosses and sponsors are queers.

If they bought ammunition then, as bullets are a component thereof, they bought bullets too.
