The bill "would prohibit every government agency except the military from buying more ammunition each month, than the monthly average it purchased from 2001 to 2009." That's not so unreasonable.
Actually, it's very unreasonable, since there are more agents/officers now than between 2001 and 2009. If you wish to take away ammo from the Border Patrol, then feel free to push and vote for this BS.
In terms of the current ammo shortage; it doesn't exist because of government purchases or ammo manufacturers making record quantities. It exists because of excessive purchases by civilian consumers buying far more than they need, for all kinds of absurd reasons.
100% correct, but you'll never convince this crowd.
The ammo purchases are for deliveries covering 5 years. I doubt there is a shortage. If the BP is short then all of CBP would be short and the CBPO’s are not short as far as I know. I'll know next week as I will be doing this quarters qualifying.
The big issue with this is the property tax that goes to schools. Those families living in Mexico don't pay and the schools and state get shorted on money. I also believe its against AZ law to attend a public school and not reside in the district.
Your post is very good, very accurate and very true.
I've explained in the past that CBP alone burns through approximately 40 to 50 million rounds of hollow point each year but they are just too smart to understand the truth.
