But, but, but.....Free Republic’s resident GOP-E shills said that its just normal government purchasing..../sarc
And which opposing facts did YOU bring to that discussion?
"Shill" is now FR code from those that worship ignorance as "Intelligent person that actually knows what they are talking about but I don't like what they say."
The problem with that is that it is just normal government purchasing. The number of rounds that DHS has actually purchased has DROPPED each of the last two years from the previous year.
And anyone expressing shock that a LEO does more target practice than an Army officer is a complete moron. Keep in mind most Army officers are commanding a desk, or aren't in a combat specialty, etc. And your average army officer may be even LESS likely to fire a sidearm round for "real" than a Social Security agent or Coast Guardsman.
