Why is there an ammunition shortage? Why can’t Border Patrol agents get enough ammunition to maintain proficiency, especially at a time of increased cross-border smuggling and illegal activity? Where is all this ammunition going?"

Border Patrol falls under DHS. So, um, were are all those billions of rounds they purchased? No quarterly qual fire means you’re not qualified to carry weapons. That means you’re off the line. All by design?

Why does the gov’t need hollow point ammo for target practice and qualifying tests?

There isn’t a shortage. DHS is simply stocking up and not letting it go.

oh this is nothing , we gave a lot of guns and ammo to the cartels and the Govt keeps over a billion and a half for itself and that;s all what counts.

Well OK the white house being closed for Michelle bama and her freeloading family can have their parties, concerts, cocktails and celebrations in our house also counts as priority

This has been going on for 6 years or better. Maybe a few ammunition company execs need to be hauled before congress to explain why they aren't opening new production facilities.

The answers would be good for all to hear.

Well according to this article Border Patrol has around 94,000,000 rounds. We were burning through about 55 million per month in Iraq in a hot war so unless they are planning on killing a chitload of illegals 94 million rounds should be plenty.

DHS won’t let the border patrol shoot at anyone anyway, so why bother with ammo.

I believe that the Obama administration is up to something
extremely dastardly. If they can’t disarm the citizens
outright then they intend to limit the supply of arms any
way they can. But for what reason? Are they planing to do
something that the vast majority of the people will not
accept? I think Obama is getting ready to “fundamentally”
change America totally and intentionally against the will
of it’s people. It is looking like he’s baiting Ding Dong Un
into catalyzing the event.

DHS is part of Obama’s army. Obama considers the Border Patrol as the enemy. The time is nearing...

I have no idea what is going on. I am not even sure anything is going on but I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama was planning on destroying the country.

It’s a budget issue not a supply issue. They are also looking at canceling qualifying for 1 quarter.
