TSA To Purchase 3.5 Million Rounds Of Ammunition

Enough for its agents to fire 9,400 bullets a day, every day of the year

The Transportation Security Administration is set to purchase 3.5 million .357 SIG caliber bullets, enough for its agents to fire 9,400 rounds a day, every day of the year.

According to a solicitation issued by the agency on August 16, the TSA is looking to buy “3,454,000 rounds of .347 SIG Caliber Training Ammunition”.

Although TSA agents in airports are currently unarmed, last month the TSA announced its plan to hire the use of a firing range within a 20 mile radius of LaGuardia Airport in order to train TSA workers.

I hope its 347 cause nobody else really uses them!

Hmmm I've never heard of .347 SIG. I wonder what they are going to do with ammo that no gun fires?

Unarmed TSA agents need bullets and a firing range? UNARMED... agents...? At least they're .357, crap round.

It's .357 and its to keep it out of citizens hands. The government has also recently purchased AK 47's which they don't use as well as AK mags

ANOTHER small army at the government's control within the USA. Because domestic enemies are wreaking havoc upon our country.
