Maybe .... The more we buy, the more they buy. What they dont seem to realize is we are all on the same team. Maybe they have an inferiority complex.

...all SUPPOSED to be on the same team...guilt complex may be more accurate...
...ALL government by man is oppressive...when not watched closely and controlled carefully...
1.5 billion rounds over 5 years. That isn't much, heck SIXTO shoots that much in a month!
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

Wouldnt surprise me if they are buying up a bunch of guns also, to prevent the citizens from getting their hand on them! Schrewd they are, and sure they love to buy up all the ammo with our tax dollars. Why not. There gonna do everything they can to go around the 2nd amendment..

I'm glad the government continues to buy ammo. I hate having to use my personal ammo for practice. I just wish the manufacturers could keep up with demand.

The HSL contract is with ATK and they claim to have the ability to produce up to 1.6 billion rounds per year.
Isn't it odd the government can afford to train with duty ammo but most local police departments struggle, because of budget restraints, to train with any ammo. Note: my local police department does presently have a very short familiarization course using duty ammo, all other training is with FMJ based on purchase orders.

When I first heard of the huge number Social Security was buying I sounded like a lot till I divided it by the number of officers. It only came to 600 rounds per officer. They require quarterly qualification with duty ammo, so there goes 400 of those rounds. DR

During my interview for our Sheriff's Reserve program, I asked about "practice" ammo. I was informed that our Dept. furnishes the actual qualification ammo and duty ammo, but actual practice ammo is out of our own pockets (big sigh). Our Academy has our range weekend in a couple of months--need to practice up, so the "old guy" (I'm the oldest in the class by about 20 years) can not be too outdone by all the young whipper-snappersIsn't it odd the government can afford to train with duty ammo but most local police departments struggle, because of budget restraints, to train with any ammo.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
