The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit are taking delivery of 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition over the next five years. The contract for this ammo went to defense contractor ATK.
These are high performance hollow point bullets designed for “law enforcement,” and allow for “optimum penetration for terminal performance.” What this means in layman’s terms, is that these particular bullets are meant only for killing people!
Apparently, according to this story, DHS is also looking to buy and additional 175 million rounds of .223 caliber ammo. Pay close attention to these numbers. Remember, there are only 315 million people in the entire U.S., but DHS is in the process of buying 625 million rounds in new purchases. What in the world could warrant this large of a purchase of killing ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security? What do they know that we don’t?
DHS and its immigration arm are domestic agencies, so one would have to assume that this ammo will be used for domestic policing by its agents of force. There are many out there who believe that the U.S. government would not turn on the American people, but that thinking is completely naïve. It has happened on many occasions before, and is becoming more common every day.
Why would this detestable government agency need over 600 million new rounds of killing ammo? Just how many people does DHS plan to kill?
Could DHS be buying ammo to support monetarily the defense contractor industry? Could it be preparing to arm local and state police with particular weapons used for particular purposes? DHS has after all, continued to heavily arm domestic police forces for some time. Or is there a more sinister reason for this ramp up in ammo?
One can only guess the reason for the purchase of this ludicrous amount of ammunition by DHS. But no matter what the real reasons are, you can bet that they are not honest, and that the most likely reason has to do with preparation for events yet to come.
What are those events? Heavy austerity, leading to civil unrest, or revolution? If any or all of these things were expected, then a plan to implement Martial Law would also have to be on the table. If Martial Law were planned by government, then large quantities of ammo would be necessary. I’m just thinking out loud here, but only bad things can happen when the government has more arms and ammo than the individual citizen!
