Any guesses where all the guns & ammo have gone? BLM, Antifa, felons the Blue States let out of prisons & jails, ISIS straglers, Taliban, Al Qaeda, Iran?

Citizens are exercising their constitutional right to purchase and bear arms. That should be seen as a good thing, regardless of political affiliation.

We're not discussing citizens, we're discussing the guns & ammo that Barack Hussein Obama's Administration bought. This has absolutely nothing to do with US citizens.

In a puzzling, unexplained development, the Obama administration has been buying and storing vast amounts of ammunition in recent months, with the Department of Homeland Security just placing another order for an additional 21.6 million rounds.

Several other agencies of the fed gov also began buying large quantities of bullets last year. The Social Security Admin, for instance, not normally considered on the frontlines of anything but dealing with seniors, explained that its purchase of millions of rounds was for special agents' required quarterly weapons qualifications. They must be pretty poor shots.

But DHS has been silent about its need for numerous orders of bullets...

in the multiple millions. Indeed, Examiner writer Ryan Keller points out Janet Napolitano's agency illegally redacted information from some ammunition solicitation forms following media inquiries.

According to one estimate, just since last spring DHS has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm. That's sufficient firepower to shoot every American about five times. Including illegal immigrants.

To provide some perspective, experts estimate that at the peak of the Iraq war American troops were firing around 5.5 million rounds per month. At that rate, DHS is armed now for a 24-year Iraq war.

The perceived need for so much ammunition in federal custody is especially strange given Obama's double-barreled emphasis in his inaugural address on the approaching end in Afghanistan "of a decade of war."

The CIA was repeatedly been known to provide material support to governments and militias that serve the US interests, and we're entering a cold war with China. Immediately jumping on conspiracy theories like they're funding BLM is a but much IMO.
