DHS is preparing for war against Americans.

There is no other explanation for ordering 450,000,000 rounds of hollow point .40 S&W ammo since the Geneva Convention disallows hollow points in international conflicts.
Don't think for one minute that ICE is about to get serious by shooting illegal immigrants with these either. The current administration needs illegals for the votes that keep them in power.

No other explanation? How about the fact that DHS is the umbrella for numerous federal law enforcement agencies and totals many thousands of employees? Buying in bulk saves millions of dollars and if you read your own article, this is a 4 year contract. I work for an agency that has a few hundred sworn members and our range master is always complaining about how much ammo we shoot up during training and practice. Again, DHS has many thousandsd of sworn LE officers that do regular firearms training several times a year. To throw this out there as evidence the government is planning on attacking the populance of it's own country just shows me how paranoid and irrational you are.

I can't imagine why this forum is dead. Maybe it is because most of you are so far to the right that a typical visitor to the site takes a look and moves right along. I recently took a look at stormfront (a white seperatist site) out of curiosity and after reading a couple of threads I knew that even though I could argue with these people for the rest of my life, we are so fundamentally different in our views that I will never waste my time reading their drivel again. I am starting to feel like a member of this site with even moderately liberal views is like being a black man posting on stormfront. This site is so full of extreme opinions that people with typical american views get blasted out of the water and eventually lose any desire to post at all.

The fact that the DHS has become a national police force (unconstitutional) should scare anyone. "Typical american views" are what got America into the financialand social state we are in and what will end up destroying this country. "Typical american views" are the product of a completely ignorant populace, which is exactly what is desired by those in power.
"Typical american views" are what are shared by the sheeple.
