'Homeland' to Buy 22 Million MORE Rounds of Ammunition
DHS Purchases 21.6 Million More Rounds of Ammunition
Federal agency has now acquired enough bullets to wage 30 year war
The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest.
A solicitation posted yesterday on the Fed Bid website details how the bullets are required for the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.
The solicitation asks for 10 million pistol cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds) and 10 million 9mm 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds).
The document also lists a requirement for 1.6 million pistol cartridge 9mm ball bullets (40 quantities of 40,000 rounds).
An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion. In March 2012, ATK announced that they had agreed to provide the DHS with a maximum of 450 million bullets over four years, a story that prompted questions about why the feds were buying ammunition in such large quantities.
To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.
Such massive quantities of ammo purchases have stoked fears that the agency is preparing for some kind of domestic unrest. In 2011, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.
The federal agency’s primary concern is now centered around thwarting “homegrown terrorism,” but information produced and used by the DHS to train its personnel routinely equates conservative political ideology with domestic extremism.
A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
In August 2012, the DHS censored information relating to the amount of bullets purchased by the federal agency on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which is threatening a situation that could cause “substantial safety issues for the government” should law enforcement officials not be adequately armed.
As we highlighted last month, the DHS’ previous ammunition solicitation was awarded to Evian Group, an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation and appeared to be little more than a front organization since it didn’t have a genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.
While Americans are being browbeaten with rhetoric about the necessity to give up semi-automatic firearms in the name of preventing school shootings, the federal government is arming itself to the teeth with both ammunition and guns. Last September, the DHS purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.”

Nancy, the PTB will get priority from the ammo manufacturers regardless.
Rumours abound that fixed ammo and reloading supplies won't be back on shelves/ stocked to normal levels til August/September..
Seems that even the DHS are taking up reloading.
Why so much pistol ammo?
.40 JHP for summary executions/ unarmored targets?

Our guns are worthless without ammo, if we do not stop the Homeland Security we will find all of us in FEMA camps. There is a world wide conspiracy to disarm America for our surrender. Public Law 87-297 is the plan to disarm even our military for the peaceful surrender to the United Nations, One World Government. Our government does this in baby steps, just to protect us, so we do not see the over all picture of surrender. Why does Homeland Security need that much Ammo, certainly not to protect our borders. When the Border Patrol catches invaders, they are fed and coddled and returned to the border to try again. I believe in protection our borders by shoot to kill, and leave the bodies to ROT, It's time to protect this nation, and protect us from an out of control government. We gave only Congress the right to make laws. now every state, county, city, burg makes laws to govern 100% of our lives. There are Codes, Restrictions, Laws, and all kinds of restrictions on our lives. In California in 2012 720 new laws, in 2013, we have 1000 new laws, never ending laws, to control US. Try to start a business, to build a factory, there are so many restrictions that 90% of the people just give up. To protect the environment we are told. We are being led to slaughter, and actually praise the government for protecting us. Try demanding any Rights when you get to the FEMA camp. For indefinite concentration stay. For Fundamental Change of America. Our children are being educated to believe America is wrong, that we must submit to a global leadership for Social Justice. OK America are you ready to surrender, or ? Google my name and find their are solutions, if you are brave enough and want to Restore not Change America.
One nation under God, in divisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL. Remember that, or did you forget our pledge.

I've been to two 2nd Amendment rallies at the capitol in Sacramento in the last month. Another is scheduled for Feb. 23. (Ironic...that's .223)
The messages on the signs are ramping up, including this one:

Now don't act smug, and don't play lost, or I'll do to you like we did to Foster. Guess which evangelist just stopped smoking? David Koresh. S.S.H.C., Mona Desmond wannabe.
Since the DHS and the TSA continue to allow Israeli 9-11-2001 participants back in the country, and they allow international war criminals free passage, and they participate in the herding of innocent middle eastern people for torture and murder, the sick bunch of pukes at the top are psychopathic. The TSA's and DHS's sole purpose is molestation. I have enough footage of many of them running their hands repeatedly on the bare flesh of children and adults during 'searches for weapons or explosives'. Israeli mercenaries took part in the 9-11 attacks but Israelis are provided with favored status at the airports. Those bullets are for people who do not flirt back. J. Napolitano is sick, and she fits right in. Kill your CFRtv.

GUNS AND AMMO UPDATES :AMERICANS PREPARING FOR CIVIL WAR
http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=33&d=285e.com/general95/...
Interesting status report from Valley Guns in West Virginia :
Status of gun industry
Attention F.B. fans: to follow will be several IMPORTANT Info updates about the status of the gun industry currently, followed by an INVENTORY UPDATE: We traveled to Texas for Industry meetings concerning the shortages, here's what we were told.
Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.
RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.
FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!
Armalite: Maxed out.
DPMS: Can't get enough parts to produce any more product.
COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by Bolt carrier's.
LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity...can't get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.
Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.
AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.
MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.
RELOADERS... ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted...
Related commentary from Bob Owens :
They didn’t know when they’d be getting anything back in stock, from magazines to rifles to pistols. Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand. It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.Feb 9, 2013
