Subdeacon Joe Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/14/why-is-department-homeland-security-buying-so-many-bullets/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/homeland-security-bullets_n_2688402.html I don't give a darn how good a price the feds are getting on it, unless it is under ten cents a round, having 50 to 100 years worth of ammo is insane. I did a bit of searching and I found: Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell, Jr., Chief of Ordnance from 1942 to1946, proudly had this to say: From Pearl Harbor to V-J Day the Industry-Ordnance team furnished tothe Army and 43 foreign nations 47 billion rounds of small armsammunition, approximately 11 million tons of artillery ammunition,more than 12 million rifles and carbines, approximately 750,000artillery pieces and 3/2 million military vehicles.
