"They've bought between 100 and 150 million rounds for the last three years. They will probably buy about that many every year for the next 5 years. There's literally NO story here,..."

Okay, say you're right (where do you get your stats?). Is there any proof they are buying mass quantities of hollow points? If they are, that is disturbing.

What is disturbing to me is that they don’t have the shooters to justify the quantity of rounds per year.

I’d really love to see the allocation of rounds and the training plans.

The states are from the DHS Letter responding to Senator Coburn’s questions:

And to the people that will inevitably scream “THEY’RE LYING!” remember the WHOLE STORY is based on information from DHS. The original panic came from stupid people misinterpreting a publically released solicitations and ontract awards from DHS.

The best explanation of the DHS solicitations and contracts can be found at:
