Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunition

Re: Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunitio

usnwr today

The Government Accountability Office tells Whispers it is now investigating large ammunition purchases made by the Department of Homeland Security. Chuck Young, a spokesman for GAO, says the investigation of the purchases is "just getting underway."

The congressional investigative agency is jumping into the fray just as legislation was introduced in both the Senate and the House to restrict the purchase of ammo by some government agencies (except the Department of Defense). The AMMO Act, introduced Friday, would prevent agencies from buying more ammunition if "stockpiles" are greater than what they were in previous administrations.

Officials at DHS have denied to both Whispers and lawmakers that it is stockpiling ammunition. The Associated Press reported in February that DHS wanted to buy more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, but DHS officials testified last week it was only planning to buy up to 750 million.

Re: Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunitio

the best way to rein in the "militarization" of CIVILIAN law enforcement agencies is to do what I have always suggested--courts holding that the second amendment absolutely guarantees all citizens who can own any gun own the same guns that the civilian law enforcement agencies have. If the statists want the cops having belt fed machine guns they are going to have to put on their diapers because the rest of us are going to have them too

Ding, ding, ding....You get the award for understanding why the 2nd amendment must be protected!

it seems rather obvious to me

perhaps of the many moronic anti gun arguments constantly flushed onto this forum is the claim that the second amendment only protects 18th century weapons. This is a willful disregard of hte PARITY the founders wanted between regulars and civilians and the idea that civilians who come to serve need to have trained with and come bearing effective weaponry

Absolutely, a cursory reading of the founders papers on the subject reveals that an armed citizenry is to ward off a tyrannical government...Much like what they fled in England...

which is why our fans of big government and bigger government are so in favor of banning guns or restricting them

notice that ever gun banner on this forum is either someone whose lean is far left or whose posts demonstrate they are

i am not worried by the gangs and currently convicted criminals, because the police and law enforcement know who they are.

i am worried more by the impulsive killers, like Adam Lanza, or the cold calculating minds who use their their right to buy guns in the preparation to commit a crime: people like the 2 boys who shot up columbine, jered loughner, the Aurora gunman.

ANd what i fear most is the people who are so driven by paranoia and suspicion of government, that they stockpile guns and amunition to prepare for a event that no rational mind would contemplate. people like the hutaree militia movement.

Why do you worry about things over which you have no control? How much loss of freedom are you willing to accept in order to "feel safe"?

remind me of how Lanza used his "right to buy guns"

same with the guy in NY that caused Cuomo to crap all over lawful gun owners

or Klebold and Harris




I stock pile ammo because between me, my son and my wife we burn through 200-500 rounds a week in practice
I spent two hours tonight sizing and priming 45 ACP brass

I said adam lanza was a impulsive killer, i classified him as such in my sentance because of the "or" that transitions from impulsive killers like lanza to cold calculating killers like Haris and Klebold.

the fact that haris and klebold used their friends to acquire their shotguns and hi-point carbine shows that a loophole existed, and the tec-DC9 semi-auto handgun they used was sold improperly and in violation of federal law because the gun store owner who sold the gun,Larry Russel, kept no record of the sale.

your concept of loophole appears to be IF ANYONE can buy a gun legally there is a loophole because they could illegally furnish that gun to someone else.

The sale of the gun violated federal law if a dealer did not keep a record of it

if the purchaser is going to purchase a gun for someone else, at least the gun store owner should ask for that persons information so that he can check if the other person is legally allowed to use a gun.

do you actually think that someone who engages in a straw purchase is going to tell the gun dealer that

get a clue dude. If you admit to that you are denied the purchase. The first question you answer is ARE YOU THE ACTUAL PURCHASER OF THIS FIREARM

I went to the range and rented a gun, they didn't run a background check.

ok i actually checked the atf form and i admit you are right, i never read the document before, because i never wanted to buy a gun, and i admit i was stupid to ask such a question without knowing the facts
 
Re: Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunitio

I still dont understand why DHS needs all this ammo.

Cities buy their own,states buy their own.Why do the feds need so much?
They don't. The government buys stuff they don't need all the time. It's called corruption.

Your fears of legal gun owners are misplaced, the people you should be worried about are the illegal gun bearers like those in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, LA, Atlanta, etc., whom have no regard for your life, or the law.

People like you try to fix a leaky faucet by calling the water company, and having the water to the entire block shut down....Why don't you fix the leak, and leave your neighbors in peace?

What if the problem requires professional skill to accomplish a task beyond my ability. I would rather trust a proper repair man then my own do it yourself skills.

The repair professional isn't going to shut down the block's water supply either.
 
Re: Inhofe, Lucas Introduce Bill Limiting Federal Agencies From Stockpiling Ammunitio

It's about time....With progressive liberals losing the battle to restrict American's 2nd Amendment rights, they took a parallel track to attack the amendment through buying up all the ammunition used for the most popular weapons most people legally own. It was a transparent attempt to, if not limit ammunition for sale, it was at the least designed to cause shortages that drive prices up.

I'd like to know why DHS needs so much ammo? Reports have placed the amount at 1000 rounds per person more than our military uses...That is stunning. What's it for?



So demo's ridicule, shocking! That is what they always do when they get caught isn't it?

Our army gets it's ammo from the McAlester Army Ammunition plant. I kind of wonder if there are such government owned ammo plants for federal agencies.
