DHS Prepares For Fiscal Cliff By Ordering Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rounds
By James Smith
18 Dec 2012
With the fiscal cliff looming over the American taxpayer like the Sword of Damocles, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), via the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) has requested another 200,000 rounds of .40 caliber Federal Ammunition hollow point rounds. This is not a part of a larger order, spread out over time, but rather, the 200,000 rounds would need to be delivered in toto after the contract is awarded.
These rounds are to be delivered to an atraining site in North Charleston, South Carolina. This facility “specializes in Maritime Law Enforcement and Port Security Training. Basic and advanced training programs are conducted in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy, the U.S. Courts Probation and Pretrial Services Training Academy, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Training Academy, the Customs and Border Protection Field Operations Academy, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.”
Federal Ammunition, also known as “Federal Cartridge” has been a frequent awardee ofDHS ammunition contracts, is now a part of Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC (ATK), on June 30, 2012, changed to Federal Cartridge Company.
The EXTREMELY odd thing is that DHS has millions of rounds at their disposal.

It all has to do with gun control. If you can’t find bullets to buy all you can do with your gun is throw it.
I don’t agree. There’s no shortage of ammunition, but the price has gone up.
We have seen the total militarization of DHS under Obama, it’s not just huge ammunition purchases.
With the latest round of purchasing, DHS’ ammunition inventories have exceeded 1.8 BILLION rounds, since Obama was first elected in 2008.
If you want to get a feel for how much ammunition that is, consider that in 2003 the U.S. military used a grand total of 78 million rounds of ammunition in the Gulf War, including rounds of all calibers.
Looks to me like DHS is gearing up for a 20-year civil war. Why else are they purchasing thousands of armored vehicles and billions of dollars worth of bulletproof roadside check booths for domestic use?
