To provide some perspective, experts estimate that at the peak of the Iraq war American troops were firing around 5.5 million rounds per month. At that rate, DHS is armed now for a 24-year Iraq war.

.40 cal and 9mm are pistol rounds. If the feds were planning a "war" on the US, they would stock up on .223 and .308 rifle cartridges.

Now I must say, however, I am a little concerned about Homeland Security getting 2700 tanks. That definately seems odd.

There is no conspiracy. They are not preparing for war.

They just want our law enforcement people to know how to operate their firearms.
Ok but over a BILLION rounds? And why would hollow points be used for "target" practice?

So KC, are you afraid the government is stockpiling bullets to come after you? I am guessing you do because you keep creating these fake outrage threads, though they typically are hilarious.

guess what? hollowpoint pistol rounds are only good for killing humans. since the homeland security only operates in the USA, it makes one wonder how many people in the USA they plan on killing?

I'd like to know what makes it "fake"? The meds? or your devotion?

I guess you are right, I am sure this is real outrage for the OP, but I wonder if it is because he thinks the government is coming from him, but seeing you seem to agree with him I will ask you the same question.

Do you think the government is coming for you?

They ought to be banned.

The high capacity magazines are designed for one thing: the mass slaughter of innocents. That is why they belong in government hands only.

actually, they belong in the peoples hands and not the governments. in fact most if not all fleas agencies should even exist at all.

without the people owning private firearms, the feds would be still shooting flintlocks.
