Why is Homeland Security buying 1.6 billion rounds+ of ammo?
Simple. To make sure that the citizens don't.

My question is who got this,or these contracts?
Whom ever did will sure be busy for awhile,but that being said...........seem as tho the other companies would have a chance to rule the market place.....sales wise.It would be a prime chance indeed.
Does anybody know who got these contracts,and who didn't? Thanks,

The sales are through a broker to all the ammo makers. The sales will not go through though because congress just opened a bill that would restrict the ammo purchases and cut this one short.

It won't help much until people stop panic buying and hoarding supplies. The folks I spoke with (in the industry) said thay only about 14% of their sales are military and government the other 86% goes to the general public. There is no shortage just mass buying by the public.
If you doubt it tell me which government agency uses 22RF ammo.........


Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.

Living in a state where the dregs (read leading edge) of progressive politician's are the status quo. I'm quite proud of our American representatives provided by other states.

Thanks to all you Okies for setting a good example!

Oops is "Okies" a PC or U.N. PC term that shouldn't be used? Here you can't say what's on your mind if you don't know your audience and want to keep your job or not get sued.

Sadly we have to look to the other states to remind us of what it takes to exercise Freedom.
