This article is to demonstrate ammunition purchased by the Department of Human resources since August of 2002 through 2012, a ten year time frame.. The Department of Homeland Security was created by President George Bush as a preventative measure from further terror attacks on American soil.
How do you feel about these recent ammo purchases?
Do they seem excessive to you for any reason?
Why won’t the DHS answers congresses questions on why they needs all this ammo?
Government ammunition purchases spike under President Obama.
Below you will find the lists of solicitations, hyper linked to their pages located at http://www.fbo.gov.
You do the math, here the numbers are for you to review.
The following filters were used:
US Coast Guard and Secret Service were not accounted for. The USCG rarely requested ammunition, and the Secret Service were mainly “Award Only” notices. No amounts of ammunition could be obtained.
Any “Award Notice” only entries were omitted due to the lack of needed information.
In the first chart, you find the hyper linked solicitation, the total number of rounds requested, and the agency requesting the ammunition. Of all of the sub-departments, only Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) ordered ammunition outside the filters discussed above.
“This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.”
– Adolf Hitler
Let’s not forget the 7000 AR15′s and the 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP) that were ordered in the first quarter of 2013.
