That is a very limited "news" report. I'm not sure I would want to trust much of it.
On the other hand, Congress' budget plans sometimes involve "continuing resolutions," which means that instead of creating a new budget for a fiscal year, they do a CR. With those, it involves "mandating" the agencies to purchasing the exact same products/services as they did the year before. So, if for instance, the Army bought 14 helicopters in the prior year, they have to buy 14 more, even though they may not need or want more.
During the Obumba years, there were a number of agencies that were purchasing ammunition, so if a CR is involved, they have to buy the same amount again.

Let me see if I understand this properly, the government is buying massive amounts of firearms, they want to take our firearms. That will leave the government as the only entity being able to have firearms...except for the thugs on our streets who will retain theirs! We will be a bird's nest on the ground!
I would seem to me that the federal government should go after those that actually do harm with firearms and confiscate theirs...the gov't is going about this backwards!

It's only for target practice. Nothing to see here. Please go back to your designated living areas and forget you ever heard about this.
I'm from the government. How can I help.

So many things at play, arming them against us is the last thing if at all.
Take a trip to DC, each organization is building it's own kingdom in the kingdom. Couple that with the fact that government budgeting is use it or lose it you can bet they are adding resources any way they can to make their kingdom bigger.
As mentioned in many cases each of these organizations have their own police force, so instead of a single hierarchy you have 15 different ones, all encumbered with their own management hierarchy.
This is the kind of efficiency you never see in the private sector.
