DHS Ammo Grab: No Longer “Conspiracy” But Plain Reality

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Western Journalism

 

It now seems clear that the Department of Homeland Security’s stockpiling of ammunition and other warfare supplies can no longer be dismissed as “conspiracy theory,” but is a very real development in the actions of an overreaching federal government.

Many have suggested and assumed that the ammo and gun shortage experienced across the country is the result of private citizens’ unprecedented purchases, in recent years, in preparation for impending gun control measures. While this is true in part, it is only half of the logical explanation that can be assessed based upon available facts.

This phenomenon has been described as creating a perfect storm for private gun owners when paired with the reality that the DHS and other federal agencies are buying up once-available guns and ammunition like never before. Mainstream news sources such as Rawstory and Media Matters have attacked Fox News’ Lou Dobbs and others for their statements affirming that the government has indeed purchased at least 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (especially including hollow points), 7000 fully automatic assault rifles, and 2700 new light armored vehicles, as well as riot gear including body armor. DHS has also invested $2 million with a contractor that recently apologized for its production of shooting targets depicting elderly gun owners and even pregnant women and children in residential settings, after photos and publicity of the targets recently gained widespread exposure.

As it turned out, these claims have proven to be very accurate, as even Media Matters admitted that DHS officials made the 1.6 billion rounds purchase as they were also busy denying it. The organization also insisted that “the order for 2717 new light armored vehicles [came] from the United States Marine Corps – not the Department of Homeland Security.” This claim seems baseless, as all photos have clearly shown the DHS emblem emblazoned on the tanks in question.

      Not only is Obama building a domestic army, led by Janet Napolitano, like he said he was gonna do, but he’s using tax dollars to control the private ammo market. Driving up prices 2 to 4 times normal cost and drying up the supply. They’re keeping a close eye on the supply and ordering ammo based on what becomes easily available. They’re even buying up .22 ammo by the millions of rounds. Then down the road if .380, .40 or .45 or whatever cal. becomes readily available they’ll place instant orders for those calibers as well. They’re doing everything they can, regardless of legalities, to keep ammo out of your hands, that’s just as crucial to them as building their marxist army.

        Are you saying it illegal for DHS to buy ammo? They need to fend off the teabillies somehow, who have also bought more than their share of ammo. I think some of this ammo may be used on July 4, at the million gun march that the teatards are organizing in DC. I am a professional sports bettor, and my money is on the team with the billions of rounds of ammo, the 2,500 tanks, and let’s not forget the drones. That is the smart bet in this game. Gubmit 27,745-Teabillys 0. Game, set, match goes to DHS.

          You are an idiot. I doubt you make a living at sports betting. Taxpayers support your lazy ass.
