"The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest."

Why would the government be buying 30-years worth of small arms ammo? Who are they planning on using those bullets on?

A government of the people, by the people, and for the people? It appears the people are no longer important to the Washington elites.
Because the Republicans are pretending it's not happening, they must be in on it - what ever "it" is.

They could be planning mass murder. The are radicals who dislike people who disagree with their rule, hate human life and or they could be conducting gun control by another means. Buy up the supply of ammo so that it is too expensive for Americans to afford.
