All right wing sites. But even if it's true, any manufacturer that sells a lot of weapons to the US government is cutting off it's nose to spite it's face. I doubt any of those companies do much business with the government anyway. If state governments can't buy from those guys, they will buy from their competitors. Idiots, just trying to sound like bad asses.

I didn't think you would do your own research. It is fact.

Matter of fact, I did do the research. All I found was right wing sites and I admitted it might be true, but the rest of my post stands.

There have been reports in the news of large government purchases of bullets. What they would need with a billion bullets for training seems weird. I don't think it would be a stretch to accept the government is ramping up some for domestic disturbances. We live in very shaky times and we could see some form of economic collapse that disrupts lives beyond comprehension. Thus triggering riots and such. I think it would be stupid to not assign a large risk to this scenario.

Here's an explanation and it's even from a source the righties will like.

"Our members confirm what we are seeing is the normal functioning of the Feds’ procurement apparatus. When you do the math in the case of the DHS purchase, even the maximum purchase would add up to less than 1,400 round per year for all 65,000 DHS law enforcement personnel. That doesn’t seem outrageous considering training and qualification requirements."
