5k employees in DHS?? You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. DHS has nearly 200K employees. There are 20k armed officers just in the Border Patrol and another 20k armed officers in the rest of CBP and then there are an additional 20 agencies. Every armed officer has to qualify quarterly. An average of 100 rounds are used in qualification. That is at least 16 million rounds a year just for the required certs just for the agencies I mentioned. The ammo is supposed to last least five years. Try doing some research before getting youself worked up into a frenzy.
Do you guys shoot “buck a bullet” high-tech frangible hollowpoints at the range for requal?
If so, can you explain to me why, instead of shooting 20 cents a pop FMJ range blammo?
I’m not buying it, sorry. This is not a contract for blammo, this is for serious expensive bad-ass defensive ammo.
The kind you don’t pop off 200 at a time at the range.
Unless you are telling me that Uncle Sam just always pisses away our money like that.
