I wonder why so many bullets?

I wonder who they will be aiming these at? DHS should have never happened.

that isnt that much really. Its a big country. DHS has, at last count, over 200000 people. If each person shot up 300 rounds, that 450 million rounds would be gone. Training, stockpile for emergencys, practice, and so on could wipe that out in a year or 2.

So, if every DHS employee is armed, we have a Civilian National Security Force?

[Jonnin]

maybe its a militia....

I can't answer that. Likely a small % are armed, of course, with plenty of paper pushers to go with the combat units. But then again, 300 rounds isnt jack to train someone either. If only 1/3 of them are armed, thats still under 1000 rounds each for both training and a stockpile for actual use. I can blow out 1000 rounds in 2 months, 3 if things are slow.

And, I would bet on it, some of those .40s may be full auto.

...it's also spread out over five (5) years.

Someone else already posted this.
