“This is why the federal agencies bought all that ammo.”
I believe you are right - numerous federal departments ordered all that serious ammo and also new weapons, including military automatic rifles. I may miss listing some I read about, as these orders were made at different times, but I know these happened: Homeland Security, the Postal Service, Department of Interior, Alcohol/Tobacco/Fire Arms (ATF), Justice Department.
