The government earlier this year bought up something 450 million rounds of 40 cal hollow point ammo and then this month they ordered another 750 million rounds, so you just have to wonder what are they up to. The hollow point cannot be used in combat that is a home defense round, they also bought enough 40 cal pistols to arm every TSA agent in the country and then some.

I can understand a monthly requirement to visit the range but this is a bit much. Just a reminder that the conpiratorial Alex Jones from info wars has been talking about this for months. Yesterdays conspiracies are todays truths. Expecting something?

580 plus rounds EACH for their agents.

First question, what is the SSA doing with 200+ agents? Second question, how often do they need to qualify?
Third question, how often are they required to practice?

Niiice - so these “domestic” agencies have collectively accumulated enough ammo to put at least 4 rounds into every single one of us in the US. Nothing to see here. Move on. All is well!!! Any analogy between Obama’s desire and fascism/marxism is TOTALLY bogus. C’mon man - why would you trust your lying eyes versus Team Obama?? Hope and change!!

It is time to really fear Government. We are so close to a total loss of our freedom and no way to overcome. My advice is for good law abiding Americans to stock up and announce ready to fight for the real America. The Second in our Constitution realized that some day will come.

SSA? Other offices? They're afraid, like so many others. They're afraid that they'll be attacked. They're afraid that supplies of ammunition will run short and/or that prices will go higher. Panic and hysteria are attitude of the times in politics. Look at shrieking, paranoid political speech from the various groups of socialist government-income interests in the various political parties and subgroups fighting each other over the pile of cheapening debt.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric


The good news is that few healthier Americans (those not involved in the contemporary socialist politics of any party) bother to take the hysteria seriously. Truly private (not government-linked), truly conservative interests are only watching the weird political show from the outside. The societal consequences of pathological policies disseminated from oddballs in universities to the population are entertaining and sometimes funny to all who see justice around the corner of our near future (think Monty Python).


How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

JOHN R. LOTT Jr.
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (download links for whole document at bottom of page)

September 1998

University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999

Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

Ok, so fine, there is some minimal need for such but I find it interesting that so many departments with similar minimal needs have all decided to make large purchases weeks before the end of the fiscal year of the federal government. Just another coinky-dink of this administration, I’m sure.

Maybe these agencies should be looking over their shoulders.

The sh!tstorm is around the corner. And they know it.

If this is routine, then there must be records of similar purchases in previous years. If such is the case, then perhaps this *is* no big deal. However, in other articles I’ve read about this, reporters have asked about purchases of previous years and SSA has refused to give any accounting for that. This is troubling.

It goes on. “Practice” with expensive hollow-point ammo is a waste of money. While our govenment are experts at wasting money, perhaps there’s more than they are letting on? It goes on.

It is time to stop ALL of these agency police from the Railroad Police to the SS. I don’t even think the FBI is Constitutional much less the others.

Winning The Future!!!

The Border guards use bean bag guns and are advised to duck and evade when confronted by a Mexican gangster.

Yet, the SS folks are issued hollow point bullets???

Stocking up in advance of ammo restrictions?

The biggest gun nuts are our Federale Gov’t. We have all kinds of Fed agencies with armed idiots. I know the Ag department has armed chicken inspectors and enforcers. And the ATF is the worst going by their botched raid on the Branch Davidians. I know there are good ATF agents but overall it’s a lousy stupid agency

Personally I can see a nationwide campaign to get millions of Americans used to the idea of wearing body armor, I don’t mean bulky flak vests, lightweight concealed outerwear with ballistic material sewn inside.

There are quite a few companies around that sell nice looking clothes with such material, I buy remnants of ballistic cloth like Kevlar and I sewn them into my Carhart double knee work pants, makes them last a lot longer and are also good for protection when I ride my motorcycles.

The Loyalist (Tory) militia needs munitions and arms to fight the rebels. They aren’t armed now with little more than an obamaphone.
