On the heels of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s (FLETC) solicitation for 200,000 rounds of .40 cal ammunition, the Customs and Border Enforcement (CBE) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has placed a presolicitation for a total of 250,000,000 rounds (250 MILLION) rounds of .40 S&W cal ammunition over the next 5 years in a contract style known as indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (ID/IQ).

This is dangerous, and Mr. Obama needs to explain the purchases.

But he won’t because the army he is supplying is his own army, the army of brown shirt thugs who are more than willing to slaughter children in his name.

If you own a firearm, may I suggest you pick up more ammunition.
