DHS purchases 1.6 Billion Rounds of Ammo, and hundreds of millions more are expected to ordered in the near future.

at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America?
At 15 million rounds (which, in itself, is pretty extraordinary and sounds more like fun target-shooting-at-taxpayer-expense than a sensible training exercise) thats a stockpile that would last DHS over a century. To claim that its to get a low price for a ridiculously wasteful amount is an argument that could only fool a career civil servant.
