PANIC BUY: "An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion"

yeah that's 1.625 BILLION. 

Infowars.com, who has been monitoring this guns/ammunition stockpiling by DHS, reports a solicitation for an additional 21.6 million rounds of ammunition was posted yesterday on the FedBid website:

This solicitation on top of the billion plus rounds already procured, plus the recent solicitation for 7,000 Select-Fire (aka full-auto) Personal Defense Weapons? What does Homeland need with 1.625 billion rounds of ammo? 7k fully automatic weapons?

President Obama, just who is DHS planning on going to war against?

And another issue to note: This solicitation specifies "Commercial LEAD Training Ammo". Remember that next time you hear some politician or departmental bureaucrat at EPA insisting lead based ammunition be outlawed. 

Or maybe DHS is just "panic buying" like the rest of us.
