In a time when members of the American government are working tirelessly to enforce changes to gun control laws, the last thing they need is a government agency adding fuel to an already heated fire.
However, according to an article published by Fox News on April 25, that's exactly what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has done.
Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz claims the DHS is currently using 1,000 more rounds of ammunition per person than the U.S. Army.
Chaffetz was quoted as saying; “It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland Security needs so much ammunition.”
In a hearing on Thursday, Chaffetz claimed that the DHS had more than 260 million rounds of ammunition in stock, and he added that the 70,000 DHS agents used 116 million rounds in 2012.
There are a lot of conspiracy theories about why the DHS is really buying so much ammunition, but Fox News reports that Department of Homeland Security claims to need the ammunition for agents in training and on duty, and that they buy in bulk to save money. Examiner
FACTS & FIGURES
The purchase of ammunition in such massive numbers by the DHS has stoked fears that the federal government could be preparing to use force against the American people.
The trigger for this could be an economic collapse that causes angry Americans to flood the streets similar to scenes witnessed across Europe over the last two years. Prison Planet
The Social Security Administration has also recently purchased a large quantity of hollow point bullets, potentially signaling that authorities fear welfare riots could occur if benefit payments cannot be made.
A recently leaked U.S. Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest. Prison Planet
