DHS is doing a market survey of ammo mfg. asking if they can supply a couple million rounds of frangible ammo in a wide variety of calibers/gauges within 60 days.
Here's the official request on FedBizOpps: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity ... 5&_cview=0

Sounds good AKS! I'd call it modern. I love semi auto 30-06's. I just shot a 1942 Garand last Wednesday. I'd love one or a BAR! Either is plenty modern for me.
I did hear about that DHS survey. A lot of DHS stuff would be ignored if the feds weren't all over the backs of legal civilian owners.

It is what it is.
A request for bids to buy a couple of million rounds of various frangible cartridges in a relatively short amount of time.
It stops being theory when money changes hands.
I will only assume at this point they are serious about purchasing it if they are seeking bids for it.

But there's no evidence of any government plot against its citizenry. Besides, do you think they're going to kill us all with shotguns? LOL. There's no there there.
Besides, Alex Jones is a fraud. He's done more harm to the gun-owning community than anyone.

I certainly don't think the U.S Gov't will be coming after it's own citizens with shotguns... at least no one has given me the order to yet
While the specifics of the above order could be questionable, it his been made public information that DHS and other agencies are expanding (or at least contemplating to) their ammunition supply. While this in itself doesn't particularly raise any major red flags, I would tend to think that when added to the larger picture, i.e. gun control laws, approval of drone usage in the U.S., foreign policy mistakes from N. Korea to Syria, the ever growing deficits, LE response to Boston bombings.... the agencies ammo grab is just another notch in the bed post.
While no one can actually put their finger on it, call it a conspiracy theory if you will, it would be wise of us to continue our diligent awareness to the growing problems in this Country. I'd much rather be wrong about a tyrannical Gov't and be prepared.... than be caught with my pants down pissing in the wind because I was too stupid to notice it.

All I said was that if they were accepting bids for millions of rounds of ammunition, they were wanting to buy millions more rounds of ammuntion.
On top of what they've already procured.
But if you're asking me if I think they need as much ammo as they have been purchasing ON OUR DIME, the answer is a resounding no.
But I suppose if you want to strap on the iron helmet for a minute, as for this particular requisition for frangible, most of us do know why frangible is preferred in certain scenario's and why so.
Less chance of ricochet when you miss, less penetration through walls (or any object really), breaching doors, and possibly some crowd control if things get too rowdy. Agree?

My 2 cents...I think there's a little truth in most of it and some outright lies. I think we're told half truths by many sides of this complicated equation. There are so many individual parties involved. I think some conspiracy theories are designed to be sensational and outlandish and even deflect suspicion from the truth.aksavanaman said:Darkhawk40 said:

I agree with AK and John, the dots when connected appear to be adding up to a scary picture. It does not always mean it is what it appears to be though. Like Ak said, I'd rather be prepared than caught short.
Just another thought, you can't find a much better weapon for close quarters conflagration than a short barrel 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 Buck...I'd say my house where my guns are stored is pretty darn close quarters. 12ga ammo might not be for extermination purposes but the preamble to ???....jus sayin'
I'm just curious about the time frame. I do have some experience with Gov't contracting, and when they ask an industry "How fast can you produce these widgets", it's not an idle question. It's asked for planning purposes because they anticipate having a need with a short lead time. That doesn't fit with training schedules that are known years in advance.

It pops up every once in a while for me.

Pretty ballsy, but I like it! Thank you Sen. Inhofe!
