the two informed to vote republican page
course we can forget the i love it when i wake up in the morning and brock obama
is president face book page check them all out list those are some really great
pains there
this is a story that
has started
really mostly on the right
particularly among gun enthusiasts
and now has gotten as far as a mention in forbes this is the story of the
government's
alleged purchase
of what some characterize as outrageously high amounts of ammunition
by the government and whether that's the social security administration or home
department of homeland security there's a number of different stories floating
around so
today we saw a story
uh... informs
pointing to the denver post
saying the denver post on february fifteenth ran an a_p_ prep and
associated press article entitled
homeland security aims to buy one point six billion rounds of ammunition so far
too little notice the article confirmed the department of homeland security had
issue dip and open purchase order
for one point six billion rounds of ammunition and it's been reported
elsewhere
that some of the purchase was for hollow point round switcher
forbidden by international law for use in war and uh... that'd be the reaction
basically has been
this is evidence
obon my is planning to take our guns
and to institute some kind of tyrannical law
the government is buying so many bullets as well as tanks
for domestic use that it is abundantly clear this is why we need weapons
q the sky is falling
complete apple flexing
that's the story that we've been getting
it's important to look into this further
because
my initial reaction when i hear something like that is what what it what
is the evidence that we're looking at and what we have is
uh... info wars dot com which is alex jones website shows and august of twenty
twelve
uh... republic the request for quote and r f q
for a hundred and seventy four thousand rounds of these hollow point bullets by
the the from the uh... social security administration
so let's examine
number one
is it true
or not true that law enforcement uses and practices with these hollow point
bullets well it is true
that law enforcement has always practiced with hollow point bullets they
use them for their stopping power to minimize collateral damage because
hollow point bullets uh... uh... uh... when they enter the body
or whatever it is if its target practice uh... that was when they when they may
contact
the uh... kind of spread in a way that prevents them from passing through the
body and then hitting something else
so you can understand why law enforcement training for a number of
different scenarios where you wouldn't want the bullet passing through an
individual
exiting that individual maybe hitting someone else may be doing other damage
we can understand so far at least why law enforcement would train with those
but that any national law enforcement doesn't restrain with its law
enforcement uses it actively bright but the training part is key as to what
we're going here
so okayed so we know why law enforcement would have those
so the first think that we need to notice is that
the
the supposedly order
is not an order for four hundred and fifty million of these bullets which
uh... uh... enforce dot com put out there
it's a contract to supply these bullets
with a maximum volume of four hundred and fifty million rounds
over five years right still really what we have here is a contract to supply it
up to ninety million bullets year
was the all bomber is buying
millions of bullets right now too
a contract has been put in place
to supply
a smaller number
over a period of five years
the devil is in the details as an
uh... usually is here
they are now in two thousand eight if we just do some numbers and there's these
analyses that are floating around the internet
if you think about the majority of these rounds are of course not fired at people
write their fire during training and practice of department of homeland
security officer
goes to basic firearms training firing over a thousand rounds each
and then they're required to require off i with their weapon every year
that's another another few hundred rounds
there are often additional firearms training programs which can use over a
thousand rounds
you can see louis with with the number
of department of homeland security agents
how you would go through a lot of rounds
without needing all bamaca com with the military to take people's god soared to
come with a d_h_ aspartate guns even without looking into the details when i
see one point six billion rounds of ammo for homeland security
that was in shock me at all that sounds like typical government defense spending
to me uh... did you say one point six million her billion billion billing ok
yeah the other thing is this and this is really what i know that in a time with
these with these theories
if there was a plan for a tyrannical takeover by the government
and uh... as part of this the government would want to kind of keep this on undid
on the download to prevent people from proactively arming themselves against it
do you really think they would have such easily accessible requests for quotes or
would they just do the entire things secretly
well you would think if it was really a conspiracy they would try to do a
completely secretly but one of your daily just take this opportunity to
reiterate
my complete support for a full gun registration
intractable guns of all kinds uh... obviously confiscation is not really an
option on the table given the second amendment
uh... so uh... i complete so when they say that when these a scare tactic and
say although this is gonna lead to registration confiscation the second
part will never happen but i'm in favor of the first part of our all in favor of
most americans are in favor of full registration background checks over
who's against that very very few people are against that athletic lewis
so again we detect leader thing critically here and look at what are we
talking about
uh... does it does it
at face value and upon further analysis appear that president obama is arming
department of homeland security to comment and buy it by force of guns
take other people's guns now there's absolutely no evidence of that noticed
that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard if these people had any idea what the
government was doing in terms of research development
weapons purchases um...
vehicle purchases
thought the whole thing combined
uh... date date probably to shoot themselves in the head if they thought
that that's what was going to happen
