Why Is All the Ammo Being Bought by Gov?

Major General Jerry Curry: "Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot?"

"Those against whom the hollow point bullets are to be used — those causing the civil unrest — must be American citizens; since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens."

<B>In the war in Iraq, our military forces expended approximately 70 million rounds per year. In March DHS ordered 750 million rounds of hollow point ammunition. It then turned around and ordered an additional 750 million rounds of miscellaneous bullets including some that are capable of penetrating walls. This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen. Is this something we and the Congress should be concerned about? What’s the plan that requires so many dead Americans, even during times of civil unrest? Has Congress and the Administration vetted the plan in public.

I fear that Congress won’t take these ammunition purchases seriously until they are all led from Capitol Hill in handcuffs. Why buy all this ammunition unless you plan to use it. Unknown to Congress, Does DHS plan to declare war on some country? Shouldn’t Congress hold hearings on why the Administration is stockpiling this ammunition all across the nation? How will it be used; what are the Administration’s plans?

Obama is a deadly serious, persistent man. Once he focuses on an object, he pursues it to the end. What is his focus here? All of these rounds of ammunition can only be used to kill American citizens, though there is enough ammunition being ordered to kill, in addition to every American citizen, also every Iranian, Syrian or Mexican. There is simply too much of it. And this much ammunition can’t be just for training, there aren’t that many weapons and “shooters” in the U.S. to fire it. Perhaps it is to be used to arm illegal immigrants?

We have enough military forces to maintain law and order in the U.S. even during times of civil unrest.

We have local police, backed up by each state’s National Guard, backed up by the Department of Defense. So in addition to all these forces why does DHS need its own private army? Why do the SSA, NOAA and other government agencies need to create their own civilian security forces armed with hollow nose bullets?

Were I the JCS, and if I wasn’t already fully briefed on this matter, I’d stop the purchase of hollow point bullets, ask the secretary of Defense why all this ammunition is being purchased and spread around the country? If I got answers like the ones Congress got during the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious – I’d start tracking all ammunition deliveries nationwide to find out what organizations and units are using them, for what purpose and, if it is not constitutional, prepare to counteract whatever it is that they are doing.

This is a deadly serious business. I hope I’m wrong, but something smells rotten. And If the Congress isn’t going to do its duty and investigate this matter fully, the military will have to protect the Constitution, the nation, and our citizens.</B>

With more than a little help from the unorganized militias, Jerry.

Impractical to use hollow point ammunition for target shooting or training.

Illegal to use hollow point in international war (against Geneva Convention).

Not when you have unlimited funds. If I ever hit the lottery I will never fire another round of ball for the rest of my life. Premium self defense ammo.

Not true.

Validation on the G.C. part?

OT ammo was cleared by JAG 12 years ago: www.dtic.mil/ndia/2012armaments/Parks.pdf

[DOOMER DOUG]

the government intends to shoot patriots, constitutionalists, domestic terrorists, christians and anybody they feel is a threat to the corrupt status quo.

It isn't like the views of Janet Janet at Homeland Security or Eric Holder at DOJ aren't clear enough on who they plan to shoot and why.

I feel honored that they want to shoot us with the very best ammunition and not the cheap imported surplus stuff.

[john green]

Well I hope they understand WE buy the same quality ammo.

This again? Pistols are not what you use to fight a conflict, these contracts are spread over years hence the # of rds.

Exactly how many years does it take to shoot-up 750,000 rounds?
