Hmmm....

 

[Mr. H.]

Maybe they're expecting a run on their offices like there was a run on the banks during the depression.

Hmmm....

Law enforcement and the Military don't even use hollow points.

Hmmm....

My Guess some misguided Administration attempt to get them off the street?

They ain't the only agency ordering bullets...something fishy is going on.

"The SSA Is Buying 174,000 High-Powered Rounds Of Ammunition"

First the DHS needed 450 million rounds of ammunition, then the NOAA requested 46,000 rounds, now we've discovered an online request at FBO.Gov calling for 174,000 rounds of ammunition for the Social Security Administration.

The request actually calls for 174K .357 hollow points that arguably have as much stopping power as any bullet out there, and hollow points do as much damage to soft tissue as possible on top of that.

R.K. Campbel at Gun Blast mentions his experience with .357 rounds:

I observed the effect of the .357 Magnum 125 grain JHP once over the top of my own sights. The effect was gruesome. A solid hit that produced a severe blood flow AND dramatic effect from the rear, including lung tissue thrown perhaps three feet.

The 125 grain and JHP (jacketed rounds) are exactly the ones requested by the SSA and their offices of Inspector General and Investigation.

The FBO has a link that lists all locations slated to receive the batches of bullets. Offices like Greensboro, NC are getting a mere 1,000 rounds while offices like Iselin, NJ are getting 10 times that number.

Alex Jones' InfoWars is quick to point out that this acquisition jibes with a DHS operation in January where the agency swarmed a Leesburg, FL social security office and posted armed guards outside the doors.

[Mr. H.]

I'm certainly not the conspiracy type, but can't help but wonder...

 

[Ravi]

hmmmm.....it may be because since 9/11 all government offices seem to be heavily armed.

Or it could just be that Obama wants to kill Granny.

Or they are about to round up the conservatives and put them in FEMA camps!

 

[Douger]

Anything to raise GDP.

 

[Indofred]

Maybe they're to give away to Israel.
