I mentioned this months ago. I was called a conspiracy nutjob for asking what they are planning to use this for.

Glad to see some others are questioning this as well.

Wow talk about a months old conspiracy theory.

 

[Inthemiddle]

Really? Source?

You mean Aside from the Fucking Link you just Quoted?...



peace...

actually, yes. I'd like some actual source, as opposed to an online news organization I never heard of. Thanks.

A link to this 'brief' they mention would be nice, too.

Actually, we should start by demanding that when he quote his own source, he do so in context, without cherry picking.

Another recent DHS move to gear up was back in March of this year, when it gave the defense contractor ATK a deal to provide the DHS with 450 million .40 caliber hollow-point ammunition over a five year period.

The Department Of Homeland Security Is Buying 450 Million New Bullets - Business Insider

What I find funny is that 450 Million rounds for a Military our size (millions) over a 5 year period is somehow something that Obama Apologists would want to Deny or Dismiss...

Why is that?...

You Fuckers are Entertaining.



peace...

The regular military does not use hollow points they use 9 mm pistols and steel jacketed rounds.

 

[daveman]

The right wingers are SOOO fear motivated. It is almost unreal.

Hollow points for the military are a violation of the Hague Convention.

Plus, if a bad guy is wounded by ball ammo, it takes two more bad guys to cart him off. One round took three guys out of the fight.

 

[Desperado]

Ummmm 450 million .40 caliber Hollow-Points?
Not exactly marksmen are they. Seems they need more range time.

 

[CMike]

450 million is a heck of a lot.

What will they do with them?

Maybe that's why they bought them. For five years worth of range time.

I love it! Titwringers whining about someone buying ammo.

Hollow points were never designed or intended for use in target shooting.

They have but one purpose, PEOPLE shooting.

 

[uscitizen]

Fer shooting varmints and such.

 

[Moonglow]

They make a big hole in a tree.

 

[uscitizen]

Hollow points are about the only way you buy .22 LR ammo now.

I bought a few thousand rounds a while back and Wally World only sells the big boxes in hollow points.

 

[tererun]

None of this really makes any sense as the US police forces have made large advances in non-lethal methods for dealing with unrest. Is there some reason we should feel that the DHS is going to use lethal force in situations of unrest considering they barely do it now?

Who Specifically?...



peace...

the ones on here implying/inferring (I can't remember which word to use in this case) that if Obama is not re-elected we will have mass riots and such. And the bullets are needed for that.

One rightwing nutjob suggested civil war if Obama is re-elected.

 

[Big Black Dog]

I heard about DHS ordering all of those bullets. I wrote to my Congressman and asked him what it was all about. He wrote back and said it was for the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Shoot.

Well, 2 things about this:

"Infinite Delivery" (as I understand it) does 2 things: It ties the supplier, ATK, to a high level of what they may need to produce in a worst case scenario. The other thing it does is, obviously, prevents the DHS from having to multi-source the procurement.

The OP, of course, is simply wrong. It would be a lot like having a "not to exceed" in a contract. Like our agreement with one of wholesalers for pharma says, "not to exceed" meaning that we will not spend over $150,000. One of our vendors has a "not to exceed" stipulation in the contract as well meaning they will not be paid over a certain amount.

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
