"The Great Ammunition Myth: The government is not planning a violent putdown of civil unrest"

[mikegideon]

FTFY  From Jethro Bodine's Naught-Naught Spy stuff, the funniest of which was the Jethro Bodine Ejector Seat...from Double Naught Jethro (March 3, 1965)

 

There is a place for Jethro within our current administration.

I can't believe I used to like that guy... :doh:

You intentionally brought up that clown to make my head hurt. Shame on you. I may be alone in this one, but I will take my chances with socialist indoctrination over the crap that Beck and Jones are selling.

I do wonder what in hadies they are going to do with MRAPs though. I mean they are useless for off road work, and some bridges in the US will not support their weight. Nevermind the moron at the DOD that ordered the wrong ones.

 

As for Beck, I do not know anyone that I thoroughly trust but some stuff of his is not that far off, it at least makes me think. I have listened some to Jerry Doyle lately - he beats on everyone.

 

As for socialisim... It is in controvention to the US Constitution and that is a no go for me. Period. No discussion.

That's fine, but Beck is talking as if Agenda 21 - a plan for sustainable development - somehow equates to eugenics and martial law. That's a far cry from socialist economic policy. The guy just picks and chooses extremes and then tries to find a way to connect them, many times by constructing details out of thin air. When he was on FoxNews, there were several times I noticed blatant inaccuracies in his alleged sources. I sent an email every time with links to back me up. Never got a reply or saw a retraction. You know he's off the deep end when FoxNews got rid of him.

The show ended because the ratings were trending down. Fox, or any other cable outlet, doesn't care what comes out of the TV. They care about ratings. You also need to realize that the Fox gig wasn't a big part of his income. His contract with us pays him $20 mil/yr, and Blaze was projected to do $40 mil gross in its first year. I agree, he was off the deep end. Just sayin', Fox cares about the money, and that's it.

I would love to see the numbers. Without seeing them I can make a guess that the Obama government has been procuring more ammo the the Bush government. If its a big enough difference would that raise some concerns?

Well, here is some data provided by DHS in response to the Senate request.  Based on the limited data here, the DHS has used approximately 360 million rounds over the past three years.  Averaging those three years and adding that in for a couple of other years, that is over 600 million rounds in a five year period.  The current DHS appropriation request was for 1.6 billion rounds over 5 years.  This would mean that they are tripling their ammunition acquisitions over 5 years.  It is possible they are trying to keep a stockpile on hand and/or purchasing more for additional personnel that have been added.

Or perhaps they are planning ahead past 5 years due to the certainty of budget cuts.

No, no... hollowpoints IMPLODE.  That's why Feinstein wants to ban them.  They are like a little ballistic supernova that creates a mini black hole that sucks the victim into themselves turning them inside out.

Dos that mean that if Feinstein were shot with one her head would be sucked out of her ass or vice versus?

If you really want to know what's going on with our government read a Tom Clancy novel, a lot of his scenarios hit closer to the truth than most of the conspiracy nuts ever will.
