Yeah. Just a monthly shopping trip.
I feel better now that I know why my government bought over 1 billion bullets for domestic use.
Do I really need to post the sarcasm tag?
If nothing else it graphically illustrates how many Federal agents there are. Give each agent 100 rounds, pretty soon you are buying a billion bullets.
But be calm citizens, move on, nothing to see here.
Screw that. I’ve got a completely rational fear that my 70 year old butterball of a postmistress is going to kick down my door, roll into the room and start shooting.
The author is trying to use rational arguments against a conspiracy theory.
He stands no chance.
Conspiracy theories are indestructible. If we we ever get hit by a massive asteroid the only things that will survive will be cockroaches and conspiracy theories.
Do they really use hollow point rounds for target practice? Somehow I doubt it.
I had occasion to be inside an IRS office at one time servicing their equipment. I did see boxes of kevlar vests...about five boxes of 6 vests each. I also heard several agents planning a weekend raid on a tax avoider to confiscate his collectible automobiles. Obviously the equipment, in the case of the IRS, is for collection activities and seems harmless enough. The Department of Education, however, being armed does NOT make sense to me.
MYTH????
Those who beleive this stand on you head and stack BB’s.
The government/journolist explanations are more screwy than the questions. Have we ever, EVER had this amount of ammunition purchased for domestic use in any past administration???
It makes sense.
Until you get to the 2,700 armored personnel carriers.
Why hollow-points?
The article actually (and unintentionally) raises another problem for the citizen/taxpayer: why are there so many layers and layers and layers of federal agency employees in the first place, leaving alone the question of why they’re packing heat? I think we’re getting a little help identifying where cuts can be made here.
And .357 ammo? Wouldn’t we all love to have a few boxes of that stuff in the closet, but we all know those are revolver loads.
We have this example, plus more from the past to learn from. If we refuse to heed the warnings from the past......
What then, does the Department of Homeland Security need with over 2700 armored vehicles?
I’ve been saying much of this for a while and I usually get a bird or ‘ib4tz’
DHS buys 1.6 billions rounds and 2,700 MRAP mine-resistant Armored Vehicles.
A.G. Holder says that the White House can use drone strikes to kill U.S. citizens on American soil.
Move along folks, nothing to see here...
I wash my hands of the whole thing.....it is now entirely invenereal to me !!!!! and I’m happy everything’s hunky do-re-me!
Semper Semper!

Oh good. Nevermind then. All is well.
Because they NEED that many hollowpoint bullets for target practice. Or to ship to Mexico’s narcoterrorists.
