Social Security Administration To Purchase 174 Thousand Rounds Of Hollow Point Bullets
This probably deserves it's own thread but pass it far and wide.
And oh, just keep it between us conspiracy theorists, k?
Forgot to ping on above.
Looks to me like its a coordinated inter-agency effort to disrupt the national ammo market rather than to over-arm itself against the population. Who in the federal government needs this many bullets, even if they wanted to shoot down Americans in the tens of thousands. And where are they going to store it all?
OK, now I’m getting concerned.
DHS, a billion rounds? startling, but explanation is tepidly satisfying.
NOAA, any amount? odd, but explanation is tepidly satisfying.
Secret Service? well yeah. It’s their job.
Capital Police? likewise. It’s their job.
EPA? um, that’s a lot of nifty detail for what sounds like one purchase.
Social Security? ok, but...
...wait a minute. That’s a lot of gov’t agencies buying a lot of ammo all at the same time. Either we’re just all waking up to a common unreported occurrence, or...well...
It's not so much the quantity of ammo that concerns me, as the quality of the ammo.
You don't need premium ammo for practice.
If you simply had one idiot buying premium ammo for practice that would be one thing. You could just write them off as an idiot, but this is now 4 or 5 doing the same thing, and not all of them are idiots.
