Not long ago, a news story reported that the Department for Homeland Security bought 750 million hollow point .40 caliber pistol rounds. Well it turns out that was only half the total ammo purchased, and even smaller federal bureaucracies are arming their agents to the teeth.
Heavily armed FBI agents.
An article on Fox News reports: “Obscure federal agencies triggered a firestorm of conspiracy theories this week after they put out orders for thousands of rounds of deadly hollow-point bullets. But the agencies, most recently the Social Security Administration, are trying to put a damper on the speculation — noting the ammunition is standard issue and simply used for mandatory federal training sessions.”
“’Our special agents need to be armed and trained appropriately,’ said a message on the official blog for Social Security’s inspector general office explaining the purchases. The bullet purchases drew widespread attention as the website Infowars.com published several stories on them that were linked off the widely read Drudge Report and other sites. Infowars.com catalogued a string of recent purchases — first by the Department of Homeland Security, then by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and then the Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration solicitation, posted Aug. 7 called for 174,000 rounds of .357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition.”
That’s a lot of “training” for bureaucrats who sit behind desks and computer terminals all day. Somebody in the federal government is tooling up for war, or “civil unrest” if you want to call it that, and they’re trying to disguise their ammunition purchases by billing them to ridiculous bogus end users like Social Security and the National Oceanographic Institute, who no doubt need hundreds of thousands of rounds of .357 hollow points to fight off sea monsters.
Why are they even bothering with this idiotic deception? Possibly it’s a budgetary thing; the seven national-level secret police agencies have run out of funds in their own budget and so they’re stealing money from other government departments. And who uses hollow points for training, anyway?
Another article reports “News reports indicating that multiple agencies of the federal government have ordered and are stockpiling multimillions of rounds of ammunition have pressured the Feds to offer an explanation. But the official explanation has only raised more questions.”
“On Friday the government stated that the hollow point bullets it has procured are ‘standard issue’ and that they are used to train security agents used by each of the various federal agencies.”
“…Maj. Gen. Curry confirmed these suspicions in his article for The Daily Caller… Curry stated,”
“‘Hollow point bullets are so lethal that the Geneva Convention does not allow their use on the battle field in time of war. Hollow point bullets don’t just stop or hurt people, they penetrate the body, spread out, fragment and cause maximum damage to the body’s organs. Death often follows.’”
“In addition, Curry noted that during the Iraq War the U.S. military used 70 million rounds of ammunition per year. Compare that with the 750 million rounds of hollow point bullets that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered in March. And then it further ordered another 750 million rounds of various types of ammunition, some of which can penetrate walls.”
So our government has ordered more than 1.5 billion rounds of ammunition with half of that hollow point ammunition for “routine target practice”.
That’s enough ammunition to shoot every American five times. Anyone who doesn’t get a little bit suspicious when confronted with information like that isn’t paying attention or is way too trusting.
