I don't see what precludes the government from buying ammo in the same fashion the public sector has when one considers what happened to the market after the Connecticut massacre.

Are we really bitching because they bought smart, for once?

If there were ever to be any battles with our government, you don't really believe they'd be relying on bullets, do you?

Or let's break that down even further...

Do TSA employees drive from the airports they work at to one centralized armory? Or does each duty location handle their own schit?

Yes. Another excellent example. Laredo, Brownville, Carrizo, Eagle Pass...

Do the conspiracy theorists know where that ammo is housed?

Both, I assume. Typical supply logistical practices would suggest that both things happen. Local places restock from regional places...

Dude, you full well know that the secret DHS bunker is in Area 51. Right where the Alien slave laborers built it....geez!


That is a negative there, DonkeyGroper. grin
The armory is in the basement of the Alamo.

DonkeyGroper is a new one! laugh Well done, sir!

Everybody knows that the basement of the Alamo is the depository and not in fact the actual armory.

Sure you can question. Much of the problem lies in the fact no one chooses to believe in the answer, whether perceived as honest,dishonest or calculated.

Why can't the government be a consumer as consistent as the public consumer, given the circumstances of what happened after Newtown?

Is anyone really trying to persuade me that our government is doing so to prepare for civil war?

Uh, yeah...

Just like everyone here on 24hr, they want to stockpile and hoard. Why should the be any different?

Briefly, they claim they have 263 million rounds in inventory, they use 88 million rounds a year for training, and buy 105'ish million a year.

Interesting numbers... but nowhere near 1.6 billion rounds.

Though the numbers do seem to indicate they are building up their inventory by 18 million rounds a year? And why do they need 3 years worth of ammo stored in inventory?


I have that much, you have that much. Not sure where the leap of faith is.

I never once mentioned civil war.. only thing I questioned was the wisdom of buying and paying for storing and securing 3 years worth of ammunition as opposed to keeping far lower reserves. CBP is keeping an inventory of almost 5,000 rounds per border patrol agent - that strikes me as wasteful.
