California Congressman Doug LaMalfa on DHS Ammo Purchases: ‘It’s a Heck of a Lot of Bullets for Some Very Dubious-Sounding Reasons’
Lawmakers are asking more and more questions about the massive ammo purchases being made by the Department of Homeland Security. For instance, a recent report says the government is on its way to amassing 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the next five years.
To put that into perspective, it would be enough to sustain the equivalent of the Iraq war for 24 years! The purchases have sparked conspiracy theories on the internet that the government is readying for
a domestic conflict or trying to buy up bullets as a form of gun control.
The Obama administration maintains the purchases are not out of the ordinary.
