And they need hollow point rounds, correct?
By the milions.
Thats a lot of bears

Who said anything about bears? On federal land, federal law enforcement officers generally have jurisdiction, which means they deal with everything from meth labs to murders. They are like LEOs anywhere; they carry agency-owned firearms, loaded with agency-provided ammunition (probably HPs), they practice often, and have to qualify at the range on a regular basis. If you're not familiar with that kind of thing, contact one of your local law enforcement agencies, and request a 'ride along' - or ask any of your neighbors who are LEOs.

Btw, not the only agency that bought these after obama made them illegal for you

As far as I know, there are no federal restrictions on either the purchase or use of hollow point bullets/ammunition by civilians...

"1 billion rounds of ammunition were ordered"

Feeding right into the legend that refuses to die. There were open-ended contracts that provided obligations for delivery of ammo up to a certain amount, IF ordered, and that would be for over a length of time and not immediate. Winchester, Remington et al don't keep a billion or so rounds sitting around on pallets waiting for an order. Contracts don't happen that way.

Thank you!

67 federal agencies (non-DoD) spent $1.47B on guns and ammo between 2007-14.

Three Pinocchio’s or fake news or how ever you want to rate this. For example, the Dept of Ag has to provide rangers for national forests, an area larger than the entire NE US.

Always good to have a handy firearm to deal with the larger wildlife(Grizzles, wolves and the kind that slithers on their bellys. Oh and they’re good for snakes too, (Grins)

Hiya Sport! Hang in there, long in the tooth has got a lot of us! My health is still quite good and I am very active up here, (Lots of outside work to do), but good health can change in a heartbeat. I agree that your frosty scenario will soon be a reality. Stay safe!
