“It simply does not make sense that they [DHS] would need so much ammunition. If the United States was ever invaded, it would be the job of the U.S. military to defend the country.”–endoftheamericandream.com

A recent article by Business Insider revealed that the Republican created U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as well as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are hording ammo.

The ammo includes an open bid for 175 million rounds of .223 caliber (5.56 x 45 mm)! This round is used in Mini 14s and in the M16 family of weapons.

They are also stocking up on 450 million rounds of a special made .40 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol round!!!  The bullets are specially designed to ensure a kill because they are “A specially designed hollow-point tip won’t plug while passing through a variety of barriers…”.  They are known as Tactical HST rounds.  Ammo manufacturer ATK says they are designed for “optimum penetration for terminal performance.”

People of the United States, think about it!  Why would ICE and DHS need so much pistol and rifle ammo, that was designed specifically to guarantee a kill?
