Social Security Administration Requests 174,000 Rounds of .357 AmmoFirst the Department of Homeland Security ordered 450 million rounds of ammunition, then the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) submitted an order for 46,000 rounds of high powered ammo, and now Business Insider reports that the Social Security Administration is asking to purchase 174,000 rounds of .357 hollow point bullets.

Who the hell trains with hollow point bullets? Such a waste of money if is for training. Much cheaper to train with ball ammo and use JHP for when you are ready to rock and roll. Any LEO’s on here that “train” with solely JHP?
Something stinks.
Bad.
I don’t think their too worried about wasting bullets YOU paid for......
I made the same observation on a related thread last night. I was politely reminded that “this is the government wisely spending taxpayer money.” Couldn’t argue with the illogic of it all once it was laid out for me.
Okay, that makes more sense. I thought LEOs had pretty much changed over to semi-autos and .357 Magnum didn't make sense. But then again, I thought they went mostly to 9MM but some are going to .40 S&W.
Jeez, I need a scorecard to keep track.
National Weather Service ordered 46,000 rounds
Now Social Security Administration is ordering 174,000 rounds.
What's next the WIC offices will probably order a few hundred thousand rounds. For what??? To protect all those baby bottles from the mean ole' Republicans who want babies to die?
Homeland Paranoid Insecurity did a dry run at a Florida Social Security office... I think Obama’s government is planning on killing seniors who show up to find out why they don’t get their check.
Here’s what I know about Romney and Ryan - they won’t be arming people at Social Security offices to shoot senior citizens... Romney and Ryan won’t have our military training to shoot every day American citizens.
And the suck-up members of the press? People who would jump all over this story if Bush had created such an outrage... shame on them.
I was on back order for 7.62x39 for over three months (I think part of the reason was I placed an order at a low price and then demand went up; the company sent me several emails telling me I could get my ammo a lot sooner if I switched to a different lot, which of course was A LOT more expensive).
I also remember reading one of the largest ammunition manufacturers in the U.S. was on back order for 300 million primers in the summer of '09 and for the first time, they were running a third shift at the plant. Even loading your own ammo didn't do you any good because there was a shortage of source materials like primers.
Right around that same time was when fedgov denied the sale of spent military brass, but finally relented after a huge outcry since ammo prices were up and supply was down.
We, the citizenry, bought somewhere around 14 BILLION rounds of ammunition in 2009.
Sorry I haven't provided links, I'm not scouring the internet to find source documents for news articles I read three years ago.
Anyway, the point is if the fedgov can create artificial demand the laws of supply and demand will be used against us and cause more shortages..............OR, maybe fedgov anticipates ANOTHER shortage after the election and wants to ensure they have supply in the event of a prolonged shortage.
It has only been recently ammunition prices have dropped any significant amount and the $$$ is nowhere near what it was pre-0. The prices of rifles like AK47s are still pretty high too in comparison.
BTW, I've decided guns are bad and scary, so I gave them all away at the last gun "buy back" program and I donated all of my ammo to charity..
Is this stuff true? Who is reporting it? Who found out about it? What is going on?
About now is where somebody chimes in about .22LR being a perfectly acceptable SD round ...
and it is, if you’re defending yourself from a rodent.
That would be for an ROUS.
As you wish
Only the feds can afford to use hollow points for training. :-(
the Social Security Administration is asking to purchase 174,000 rounds of .357 hollow point bullets.
Possibilities
1) Civil Disorders ?
2) Financial Collapse ?
3) Inner-Cities riots, because of elections ?
4) Invasion ?
5) Martal law ?
6) Natural Disaster ?
7) Something from space ?
8 ..War ?
9)..Nuke event ?
10)...Terrorists attacks ?
11)...Gov’t take-over-from within ?
12....The “Oktober Surprise”
added that to list
Is Commie Dictator Obama building “Fortress Obamanation?”
Will Fortress Obamanation become open for business November 7, 2012 if Obama loses, or if he wins will he wait until 1-20-13 when he delivers his Second Inaugural Speech entitled “Hopeless Change?” I suspect that Michael Moore has already been signed to do the movie.
How is the massive increase in Federal orders for ammunition connected to Obama’s Executive Order to deny access to the Fast and Furious investigation?
Is Dictator Obama preparing for a Muslim Spring in the District of Columbia?
Will Dictator Obama have enough Obamadrones combat-ready to effectively back up the well armed public servants at the TSA, and Social Security Administration?
Since the Liberal Agenda Media has not reported on this massive Federal orders for ammunition, that can ONLY mean that the Feds are up to something bad, and that the Media has sold out again to Commie Obama.
Will Dictator Obama dictate that the pesky US House of Representatives’ duties will be absorbed by the US Senate?
Makes sense since Traitor John Roberts got rid of the US Constitution, and Senator Reid got rid of the need to have an Annual Budget, there really is no need for the US House of Representatives.
Airports and Federal Welfare armed to the teeth, - - - - - - ? No wonder NO MSM journalists are not going anywhere near these reports!
BTW, why doesn’t Sobber of the House John Boehner just defund these requests for more ammunition for our underworked and overpaid public servants?
BTW, BTW, does anybody know if arsenic sales have increased since Breitbart’s coroner’s death? Maybe arsenic is what the Fast and Furious guns were traded for?
I’ve read it is estimated that if we get hit by an EMP that 90% of the population will be dead within a year. When it comes down to people watching their family starve to death or killing people for their food, I wouldn’t bet on any civility or guilty conscience then.
