GOP Addresses Ammo Hoarding By DHS, etc

[HereSinceTheLongHunters]

Not sure if this belongs here or in Ammo thread..

"The bill, titled the Ammunition Management for More Accountability or "AMMO" Act, is being proposed after several lawmakers have voiced concerns about some federal agencies, like the Department of Homeland Security, seemingly stockpiling large quantities of ammo."

GOP Lawmakers Hope to Combat Ammunition Stockpiling by Gov?t Agencies With AMMO Act

Good. Need to take every possible step to reign in dhs as well as atf, state dept. and other out of control fed. agencies. Support them appropriately if and when these agencies actually begin to work for the citizens of the nation rather than acting as tools to advance the agenda of a politic hostile to the COTUS and the broad interest of the nation.

I cheer this action. The only problem is that this administration is nothing more than Chicago thugery and they truly have no fear of Congress or lying to them. It's sad.

Puzzling to me that Congress approves all spending bills so unless they snuck in there somehow they should have know about it before they approved spending millions of tax payer dollars on the stuff. Just saying.

Only in DoD would it have to be broken down ot that detail. In the othr agencies, you can't tell from their budget submission any more than broad categories. I worked a tri-agency program in DoD for 5 years with Commerce and Transportation Departments and could not believe what they could get away with! Commerce Department got caught (years later) for spending ocean bouy money on satellites! Can't exacly take the satellite away after it is launched.

With the government money in your hand, the golden rule is: Spend every penny given to you. I don't know if this is the reason, or maybe more sinister reason: buy up all the ammo and choke off civilian supplies.

The ultra secrecy of the Obama Administration adds lot of fuel to all kinds of rumors, conspiracy theory. We must be vigilant against any inconspicuous method adopted by Obama to disarm us. For these folks where your state mandate insurance, you need to fight that because any liability insurance is ONLY designed to "take away" your firearm!
