What's wild and crazy to ask why they are purchasing these huge amounts of ammo?
And what's wild and crazy about Congress asking what this is going to cost the taxpayer?
I own 21 different types of guns, from .50 Desert Eagle to a AA-12 assault shotgun.
No one uses anything but the cheapest ammo for target practice, unless it's a home-private experiment to test the penetration and effectiveness of the ammo. I seriously doubt the DHS needs 1+ billions sounds for experiments and testing of the ammunition.

Gee looking at the first responses that anyone who just wants to know the why of the large purchases let alone what the freaking cost might be to the American taxpayer is now a retard or pandering to the retard vote.
"This is a responsible amendment which ensures that Congress and the American people are aware of the necessity and the cost of ammunition prior to entering into new contracts for procurement."
OMG! Congress just asking for accountability from DHS makes them wild and crazy wingnuts!!
House votes to delay bulk ammunition purchase by DHS - The Hill's Floor Action
This isn't about the cost, you disingenous fool.
It's about this:
Meadows said the speed bump is a necessary reaction to news of the huge purchase, which alarmed many Americans and prompted conservative groups to suspect that the government was stocking up on the rounds to fight citizens.
It is about pandering to paranoid fucking retards.
Do you whackjob shitheads even know how many people are employed by DHS? Any clue? Do you have any idea how big a Cabinet level department Bush created? Huh?
YAY!
Let's cheer for willful ignorance and populist nonsense!
"The President's Budget for 2003- the Federal government's first post-September 11 budget- reflects his absolute commitment to achieving a more secure homeland. The FY 2003 Budget directs $37.7 billion to homeland security, up from $19.5 billion in 2002. This mass infusion of Federal resources reflects the priority the President has attached to the homeland security agenda."
"The President's 2004 Budget provides the necessary resources for the Department to succeed. The budget includes a total of $36.2 billion, 7.4 percent more than the 2003 level and over 64 percent more than the FY 2002 level for these activities."
The Fiscal Year 2005 budget for the Department of Homeland Security builds upon the significant investments to date that improve our safeguards against terrorism, while also sustaining the many important departmental activities not directly related to our fight against terrorism. The President's budget clearly demonstrates the continuing priority placed on Homeland Security in requesting total new resources for FY 2005 of $40.2 billion. This is an increase of 10% above the comparable FY 2004 resource level. This includes all sources of funding, such as discretionary and mandatory appropriations, offsetting collections from user fees, and trust funds.
The President’s FY 2006 budget request includes a total of $41.1 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. This is an increase in total budgetary authority of 7 percent over the enacted FY 2005 funding, excluding Project BioShield, and clearly demonstrates the Administration’s continued commitment to making further improvements in the nation’s homeland security. Among the operating entities with significant budgetary increases are Immigration and Customs Enforcement (a 13.5 percent increase) and the U.S. Coast Guard (an increase of more than 9 percent, adjusting for transferred programs). The budget also streamlines screening programs, increasing resources for these activities under a new screening office by 68 percent.

And why are there that many members of DHS? Any clue?
The occupation of foreign countries hasn't stopped terrorism, neither will the occupation of the United States stop terrorism. In fact, the United States is actively working with Al Queda in Syria...
It certainly is "conspiracy stuff", although I prefer the term "bullshit".
Conspiracy stuff....using them on citizens, etc. Actually trying to purchase ammo....yeah, that's a true story.
Of course they're buying ammo.
But its the same amount of ammo they've purchased in previous years.
YAY!

Was that a troll from a Super Mod?

DHS isn't a club. It doesn't have "members".
It has employees - and it has so many because DHS swallowed 22 different federal agencies when it was formed, including an entire branch of the military.
YAY!

No, it was a response to the OP.
On-topic and everything.

Uhhhh, with all due respect, how does calling the OP willfully ignorant pertain to the topic? Simply referring to it as "populist nonsense" does not address the topic directly.
