'Cuz they’re bad shots?

What are you talking about? They hit the shit out of that Tacoma and boat.

Haha awesome.

Tapatalk ate my grammar

I think you have to look at the length of the contract and the number of people employed by DHS who carry firearms. If anyone can come up with the numbers, I would like to hear them.

1000rds more per person that the Army…

That is a general statement without fact. What are the hard numbers? How many DHS agents and how many rounds? When I was on active duty I was restricted on ammunition during training, then given unlimited ammunition when deployed. The Federal Marshalls in my area are alloted 1000 rounds per year for qualifications and training. If other Federal agents are alloted the same amount of ammunition, they can burn a lot of rounds in a year. What are the hard numbers? Generalities won’t cut it.

All I gots is this dang article. Feel free to do some digging. :slight_smile:

“President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans’ access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights…One way the Obama administration is able to do this is by limiting what’s available in the market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition,” the statement adds.

I knew the day GWB created this new bureaucracy, exactly what the Marxist political party would do with it once it came under their control, turn it upon their subjects.

For a website full of people who do or used to work carrying guns for the gubbament and always talk about their people could use more training, the rabble over this hurts my head.

“Boy, those -fill in- sure do suck, they need better training”

-agency here- buys ammo at record numbers.

“They’re preparing for Marshall Law to take my guns away! Where’d all the primers go? How fast does the sky fall?”

I hope you’re kidding…

Fascist or Marxist. You choose. It’s doing EXACTLY as planned FROM ITS INCEPTION. ONLY YOU CHOSE NOT TO SEE.

Me? I’ll choose a constitutionally-limited Republic. And be called “tin foil hatted” by folks who REALLY should know better.

Carry on.

At one point my agency expended 1,000,000 rounds per year. You have to wonder how many rounds DHS goes through in a year.

Oh you mean like Obama’s Civilian Expeditionary Force / National Security Force / whatever he calls it now layed out in his National Security Strategy . . . :help:

Half Joking:

They are trying to keep up with the public.

It takes 5 minutes of basic 5th grade research to see that this is nothing but exaggerated, hysterical nonsense, propagated by ratings whores who feed on attention.

Who falls under DHS

-US immigration services & Customs enforcement
-FEMA
-Customs & Border patrol
-TSA
-US Coast guard
-National protection and Programs Directorate
-Secret Service

And probably a bunch if smaller agencies

:haha:

Or a least jam up the availability over the next several years . . . :confused:

How about the U.S. Marshall Service and the FBI? Multiply 500 rounds per employee per year and see what number you get. That is a generous estimate given that some agencies allot 1000 rounds per year for each sworn employee.

Department of Justice for both (one “l” in Marshal).
