Somebody out there has decided that the Department of Homeland Security needs a whole lot of ammunition. Recently it was announced that ATK was awarded a contract to provide up to 450 MILLION hollow point bullets to the Department of Homeland Security over the next five years. Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly excessive? What in the world is the DHS going to do with 450 million rounds? What possible event would ever require that much ammunition? If the United States was ever invaded, it would be the job of the U.S. military to defend the country, so that can’t be it. So what are all of those bullets for? Who does the Department of Homeland Security plan to be shooting at? According to the U.S. Census, there are only about 311 million people living in the entire country. So why does the Department of Homeland Security need 450 million rounds of ammunition? Either this is an incredible waste or there is something that the Department of Homeland Security is not telling us.
I could understand if the U.S. military was ordering ammunition in this quantity. When you fight wars you can go through ammunition very rapidly.
But the Department of Homeland Security is only supposed to be shooting at people very rarely.
It simply does not make sense that they would need so much ammunition.
The following is an excerpt from the official press release about this deal between ATK and the Department of Homeland Security….
ATK announced that it is being awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS, ICE) for .40 caliber ammunition. This contract features a base of 12 months, includes four option years, and will have a maximum volume of 450 million rounds.
ATK was the incumbent and won the contract with its HST bullet, which has proven itself in the field. The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.
“We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE,” said Ron Johnson, President of ATK’s Security and Sporting group

Martial law is available at a whim
Via Presidential EO all water , food , companies , fuel , everything in can be seized if the POTUS decides that is for national defense .

UN troops stationed in America , DHS lists military and Tea Party as possible terrorist but won't search moslems getting on a plane .
No point in getting paranoid like this poster ,
What would you do if Obama declares Martial Law in order to stop the 2012 elections?

Oh! yes he has been deactivated . Don't know why .
Obama apparently is ordering all this ammunition so his civilian national security force will be well prepared for any social unrest.
Saying DHS (hmm .. they've been having a lot of problems with personnel charged with various and sundry crimes too .. in the past few years) ..
Now it also mentions these are "HOLLOW POINTS" .. (umm .. those are meant for the KILL .. plain and simple) ..
Got to ask .. what are they ARMING FOR ?
slippery slope indeed .. for there was at a time .. a couple of other examples who loved their bullets .. their orders .. and ramped up Government spending for them too ..
Makes you think .. where's the need for such a stockpile anyways? (Especially an organization that is not military in nature .. inside of our borders too).
I'm just pointing out .. that's mighty high a purchase .. if they are trying to say it is for training (quite expensive training rounds .. which is why I suspect there's another use these are intended for by DHS)
