Freepers are up in arms (literally it would seem) over reports that the Department of Homeland Security has purchased something like 1.2 billion rounds of ammunition over the past year. They seem to think this is entirely unwarranted and unheard of, and could only be related to Obama’s plan to cancel the election or invalidate the results after the Romney landslide.
I haven’t even checked to see if the figure is accurate but it would not be unreasonable considering that DHS includes the Border Patrol, ICE, the Coast Guard (49,000 personnel and lots of automatic weapons), the Federal Protective Service (15,000+ armed personnel), TSA, and the National Law Enforcement Training Center. The orders apparently cover a five year period.
