Do the math.
1. "Dixon said one of the contracts would allow Homeland Security to buy up to 750 million rounds of ammunition over the next five years for its training facilities. The rounds are used for basic and advanced law enforcement training for federal law enforcement agencies under the department's umbrella. The facilities also offer firearms training to tens of thousands of federal law enforcement officers. More than 90 federal agencies and 70,000 agents and officers used the department's training center last year."
750 million rounds, divided by 70,000 LEOs, divided by 5 years equals 2,142 rounds fired by EACH officer during annual training.
Is anyone actually stupid enough to believe these lies????
2. "ICE's ammunition requests in the last year included:
—450 million rounds of .40-caliber duty ammunition
—40 million rounds of rifle ammunition a year for as many as five years, for a total bullet-buy of 200 million rounds
—176,000 rifle rounds on a separate contract
—25,000 blank rounds"
For what? They sure as Hell didn't use them. They are NOT in a war, and the US Army didn't fire that many rounds in Afghanistan last year.
Somebody is lying!
3. "The same thing happened last year when the Social Security Administration posted a notice that it was buying 174,000 hollow point bullets.
Jonathan L. Lasher, the agency's assistant inspector general for external relations, said those bullets were for the Social Security inspector general's office, which has about 295 agents who investigate Social Security fraud and other crimes."
295 Social Security "agents" are all going to fire 585 rounds each per year???
On what planet? Sure as Hell ain't Earth!
Only SWAT teams fire anywhere near that many rounds per person, per year. Most law enforcement officers fire once or twice a year and only 100-200 rounds then.
Looks like the "media" swallowed that story "hook, line and sinker"!
