During obama’s run, all the federal agencies were ordered to buy up millions of rounds of ammo to get them off the market.
I worked in the late 80s and through the 90s at a non-law-enforcement federal agency in DC. Next to our office area was a locked room that seemed to be never used.
However, on a few occasions over the years, I saw that door open. The room contained a huge, walk-in vault, and I saw people bringing in or taking out huge loads of ammunition more than once.
We always wondered what was going on, but were afraid to ask. . . .
