DHS announced today that they are going to purchase 62 million rounds of AR15 ammo. I'm sure it will spark panic buying, but I'm more interested to know why DHS NEEDS 62 million rounds of anything?
If they have upwards of 225-250K shooters, and a significant number of them are qualified to employ a rifle (and train/qual with one), 62 millions rounds of rifle ammo isn't going to go as far as some folks might think, especially if its split among training & duty.
I blow through way more than that every time I take my AR to the range.No it isn't that much. 62 million rounds / 250 thousand employees = 248 rounds each.

Hammer 059, did you really just say that? On The High Road?
I find your comment deeply, deeply disturbing.

Don't be shocked. That sort of thinking is all too common on this forum.
Just because not everyone buys your misguided vision of what gun control should mean doesn't mean we're all eagerly awaiting armed insurrection either. Most of us, however, are open to the possibility that our government doesn't always necessarily have our besst interest at heart. That is hardly dangerous or unpatriotic, and IMO, isabout 100% the opposite of that.Don't be shocked. That sort of thinking is all too common on this forum.
