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
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.
This is not a conspiracy theory or even a pro-second amendment
statement. I am simply posing a question that even the most ardent gun control
supporter should be asking.
Why?
If your next door neighbor went to the local store and purchased
200 rounds of ammunition, many of you would be very concerned and want to know,
“What on earth do they need that much firepower for, what are they planning to
do?”
Well…your civilian government
is stockpiling ammo at a faster rate than the military and at the same time
seeking to restrict civilian access to firearms and even ammunition.
You might want to ask, Why, exactly, is the DHS stockpiling
massive amounts of ammo?
