While the Department of Homeland Security continues to ignore members of Congress demanding to know why the federal agency is engaged in an apparent arms build-up, the DHS has just announced it plans to purchase another 360,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition to add to the roughly 2 billion bullets already bought over the past year.
A solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities website details the DHS’ plan to purchase 360,000 rounds of “Commercial leaded training ammo (CLTA) Pistol .40 caliber 165 grain, jacketed hollow point.” The bullets are to be delivered to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico, the same destination for 240,000 hollow point rounds which were purchased only last month.
Although the DHS has attempted to explain its mammoth purchase of ammunition by claiming the bullets are being acquired in bulk to save money and that they are for training purposes only, this has been disputed by reputable voices such as former Marine Richard Mason, who told reporters with WHPTV News in Pennsylvania earlier this month, “We never trained with hollow points, we didn’t even see hollow points my entire four and a half years in the Marine Corps.”

Looks like someone's going to do a little sheep hunting.
ReplyDeletewatch out tho', some sheep shoot back...
ReplyDeleteWake Up !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the Civil War. I'm hoping all the Liberals and RINOs who voted for Obama had a D tattooed on their foreheads to make it easier for us law abiding citizens.
ReplyDeleteAt least they're buying crappy .40 rounds. No wonder half their bullet go astray.
ReplyDeleteHollow points are outlawed by some laws of war....they are generally only usable by police forces here in the states....
ReplyDeleteBanned by international treaty because of the damage those rounds do to people. Ok for the police in the USA. Perfectly reasonable.
ReplyDeleteTotal waste of money. When they ban all guns from citizens, they won't need it!
