Federal agency has now acquired enough bullets to wage 30 year war

[Nimaro]

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.

So are they just trying to keep the suppliers so busy there isn't anything left over for the public??

Cool story, but its bogus. Seems the 'journalists' writing Infowars stories are incapable of basic reading and research.

It's 240,000 rounds, not 21.6 million.

Unit of issue is "MX". MX = 1,000. 100 units of 1,000 is 100,000.

240k rounds for a training center that graduates a portion of FLETC's 50,000 graduates a year is tiny.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. You don't even have to decipher what MX means--the description of each line item explicitly says how much ammo they're buying.

Of course, you have to wonder when the guy writing the article keeps saying that they're buying "bullets." It looks to me like they're also buying powder, primers, and cases, all assembled into cartridges...

And they're those very dangerous hollow point bullets. What could anyone possibly need with such dangerous bullets?
