Hello
Just wanted to pose a brief question (sorry if it's been asked before):
is it hypocritical for the President to push hard on gun control (and speak on the horrors of guns, ect) while at the same time have his Department of Homeland Security order an unprecedented and dramatic amount of ammunition (1.6 BILLION rounds)?
As for my opinion, the ammo buy is perplexing and extremely odd. If at the HEIGHT of the Iraq war, our troops used about ~16 million rounds of ammo annually, why in the world would a domestic department (no war going on in the US) need to purchase 100x that amount in a time of extreme gov't debt?
