B-Man Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Forget DHS................................... what the heck are these guys up to ? ?...................................lol National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase Hollow point bullets designed to cause maximum organ damage Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets. A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass. A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida. The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey. UPDATE: The Washington Post now reports, via a statement from NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen, that the original solicitation contained a “clerical error” and that the “solicitation for ammunition and targets for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement mistakenly identified NOAA’s National Weather Service as the requesting office.” This still doesn’t explain why hollow point bullets, designed to cause maximum organ damage, are needed for shooting at paper targets. Was the delivery of the bullets to the NWS a cover for them being transferred somewhere else? It’s entirely possible given the sordid history of Fast and Furious, a federal government program under which guns were sent directly to Mexican drug cartels. http://www.infowars.com/national-weather-service-follows-dhs-in-huge-ammo-purchase/ Edited August 14, 2012 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From MASH Hawkeye: We're not asking for a jukebox or a pizza oven. Sloan: Oh, those I can let you have. Henry: No kidding? Hey, those would be great on movie nights! Uh, you got any pizza requisition forms? Sloan: Just use the standard S- 1798 and write in 'pizza' where it says 'machine gun.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Idiots. It's a five-year (one guaranteed, four option years) purchase agreement, with only 1000 rounds guaranteed purchased of each ammo type in each year (and the vast majority - 690 million rounds of Remington .223 match rounds, again, not a guaranteed purchase amount - is in 2016.) That's not buying "billions" of rounds of ammo this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 DHS buying ammo, yeah it's kinda creepy at first. But if you stop and think how many agencies fall under DHS (like ICE, Coasties, and Secret Service), that's just their target practice budget Now WTF does the NWS need ammo for?

TakeYouToTasker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I don't think they're shooting the fish. I don't know about that: "Assault weapons have gotten a lot of bad press lately, but they're manufactured for a reason: to take out today's modern super animals, such as the flying squirrel, and the electric eel."

B-Man Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Seriously now....................................................What the hell ? ? Social Security Administration To Purchase 174 Thousand Rounds Of Hollow Point Bullets Wednesday, August 15, 2012 First it was the Department of Homeland Security, then it was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and now the Social Security Administration is set to purchase 174,000 rounds of hollow point bullets that will be delivered to 41 locations across the country. A solicitation posted by the SSA on the FedBizOpps website asks for contractors to supply 174,000 rounds of “.357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition.” An online ammunition retailer describes the bullets as suitable “for peak performance rivaling and sometimes surpassing handloads in many guns,” noting that the ammo is “a great personal defense bullet.” The synopsis to the solicitation adds that the ammunition is to be shipped to 41 locations within 60 days of purchase. A separate spreadsheet lists those locations, which include the Social Security headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland as well as major cities across the country including Los Angeles, Detroit, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle. Hollow point bullets are designed to expand as they enter the body, causing maximum damage by tearing apart internal organs. http://www.infowars.com/social-security-administration-to-purchase-174-thousand-rounds-of-hollow-point-bullets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
