True the Marines originally purchased the light armored trucks then discovered they were not up to Marine standards and break down all the time so they got rid of them and the DHS picked them up.

Maybe Stilson can tell us why DHS needs 2717 light armored trucks to drive around our highways which are more than adequately protected by State, County and city police forces and why they need 7,000 full auto assault rifles.

Also interesting is the morphing explanation by DHS. First the ammo is for training. Now its just a bugetary matter.

Lastly, if they have no intention of purchasing 2 billion rounds of ammo why contract for it? They won’t get it cheaper if they dont take delivery.

Sorry Breitbart not buying it.

Maybe Stilson can tell us why DHS needs 2717 light armored trucks . . . .

That would be an interesting logical exercise. You expect him to explain why DHS needs vehicles it didn't purchase in the first place?

When you have a government contract, you are required to allocate a certain percentage of your production resources to be ready to fulfill that contract. It creates a supply bottle-neck in the supply chain limiting what people can get (defacto gun control through supply chain challenges).
