Cases? Really? I think not. "Friend's brother in law in the USBP?"I know the Feds get free ammo to shoot in what ever weapon they want. My friend's brother in law in the U.S. Border Patrol gets cases of .40 S&W.
The purpose of law enforcement is NOT to protect individual rights. It never was and never will be. The real purpose is to keep order in population by enforcing existing laws.Yes the fact that we are supplying ammo to those who sure as heck are not protecting my rights as an individual and they are numbering in the 6 figures (who knows the total?) is what concerns me.
Since law enforcement is dangerous occupation the magazine capacity limits do not apply and ammo for them should be readily available.
We all know who is most responsible for ammo shortages. It's the private individuals buying excessive quantities. This behavior is motivated and nurtured on unsubstantiated fears that border on paranoia.Funny the ammo shortage cops are having was being blamed on gun owners hoarding today on Fox.
Perfect storm.
hat's why DHS has stated the DID buy the ammo? Because it was debunked?? Interesting.

avs11054 post # 49 The source is the people I know. Your cynicism does not mean it is not true. So, get over yourself.
And let us suppose all here you don't choose to believe are lying, then I think your response in and of itself is more than enough evidence it is better for the police to be in short supply than the honest citizens of this country that believe the 2nd is for all the people.
Well so far they have bought up over 2.1 billion for orders in the last year, as of todays date.
Places with ammo limit the amount a person can purchase. If I'm lucky I can get 3 boxes of ammo (3 different calibers) 3 times a week. Maybe thats excessive for some people but 3 boxes of 9mm is not enough to replace what I shoot in a single match let alone the 4 matches a month I was shooting before this mess started. Of course that is if 9mm is even available. Of course how does one get mmo to practice with. If I could by ammo by the case I would but some stores in our area don't even get a full case of ammo. I remember one shops order was just a couple of boxes in different calibers.We all know who is most responsible for ammo shortages. It's the private individuals buying excessive quantities.

One More Time, I highly doubt everyone in America is shooting one box of ammo per gun they own, per month. It is more realistic to say many folks may buy one box and throw it in the back of the closet where it stays for six months.
I think I'm gonna have to see that happen before I believe it. One Thousand rounds a day of Handgun ammo???
Again, I have to question the validity of this MANY number you are throwing out there. Many as in Millions, Thousands or perhaps less than One thousand?
I'm sorry, no one here has yet been able to explain what has happened to the ammo yet.
Are you implying that cops get free ammo from their departments to shoot personally owned guns on their own time? If so, sources please.
