Homeland Security Buys more Ammo!- 21 million rounds

The DOD stands to lose 500B in funding due to the impending sequester. I'd stock up on the essentials too.

DHS and DOD are separate entities.

DHS? The Obamacare people? What do they need bullets for? To keep them rare and expense for me, or is it part of a new euthanasia campaign to reduce healthcare costs?

I would be interested to see how it stacks against previous years spending. I don't have the bandwidth at home to go thru this, but its all here:

FYI: they had a previous contract in 2009 for 200million rounds with Winchester. They have a habit of burning up excess budget money on items that are easy to stockpile, ammo being one of them.
