Las Vegas Sun ^ | July 9, 2015 | Kyle Roerink

In a move that’s prompting questions about the stockpiling of weapons by the federal government’s nonmilitary agencies, the Bureau of Reclamation wants to buy 52,000 rounds of ammunition for use in law enforcement at Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.

After learning about the purchase request, Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei vowed to inquire with the bureau about its operations, number of officers carrying firearms and how much ammunition it uses, according Brian Baluta, a spokesman for Amodei.

One reason the Feds are stockpiling ammunition is to remove it from the market. At the same time they are enacting new regulations to make ammunition more expensive to manufacture and sell. Back door gun control. If you can’t disarm the populace then prevent them from buying ammunition.

Have you been to a sporting goods store lately? They are awash in ammo, including finally now, .22. Cabelas gas as much, if not more ammo now than before the Newtown scare.

I suspect that BLM personnel have had run ins with drug growers on federal land.

Apparently fairly common.

To shoot down the Amazing Colossal Man, Duh.

That's not the Colossal Man. That's a statue of Joshua Graham, the former Legate of Caesar, now called the Burned Man.

Rumor is, he's still alive, in Zion, with the Dead Horses tribe.

We should have given him a better welcome on his first visit to Zion.

But from I hear, The White Legs, beat us to it.

Yes, you can still drive across. There are visitor attractions on both sides.

“Through” traffic is required to use the new bridge.

Signage on the bridge requires west-bound trucks to use the right lane, and east-bound trucks to use the left lane. This gives truckers a bit of wiggle room if a wind gust catches their rig.

From experience, I can say that obeying those signs is a good idea.

Anyone think he might be fired for stupidity ?

Only if he's a straight white guy.

A further effort to reduce the supply and increase the price to Patriots.

And many state agencies, as well; for example, Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control agents and Georgia state park rangers.

See you guys mocked me when I told you Reagan sent the 6th fleet out and bombed Lydia but now it’s YOUR ox getting gored by an opressive Govt. and all of a sudden there’s panic in the streets!

Well I told you. You scoffed but I told you.

Who is laughing now huh?

Not me. Lydia and I just got a new house in the Rift so you all can sit there with your empty rifles on your soon to be Legion dam and just think about what you did. I - AM - Vindicated!

PS: Lydia says hi.

I like Adult Wednesday Addams because she is bleak and death-loving, morbid and deeply soured on life.

Kinda like me.

Years ago, many weapons were stolen from National Guard armories. Losing ammo in the same way would likely go unreported.

Lydia lives in the most bleak environment in all of Tamriel sans electricity, has racked up thousands of kills of men. women, farm animals and robots, regularly desecrates dead people with hard steel to take their stuff and has daddy issues after her Jarl gave her away as a reward for killing an endangered species. Besides, she makes a great sammich.

She is a model citizen.

To: Does so

The thing is, these articles make the papers in recent times. But the Govt has been stockpiling Ammo for a long time. And the original records were not computerized.

All this is a drop on the bucket. They have all they ever need and it’s untraceable by civilians.

So I see these things as just propaganda to instill fear and uncertainty in the population. Why? Many reasons ranging from a threat to a false flag operation. Or they could simply put this out there, cancel it and then half America ‘feels good’. But they still have what they need a thousand times over.
