Alex Jones isn't the only one reporting what DHS has said. I have heard it on Savage, Levin, and Hannity as well. Just because it doesn't get covered on Fox News does not mean that it is a conspiracy theory. Did you not read the link? DHS is attempting to explain their need for the 1.6 billion rounds of ammo they are buying. DHS is not denying the reports.
No... the articles are very vague and never spell out an admission on the amount of rounds. They simply quote what the rounds are to be used for. We do know that they have ordered rounds, that isn't the point of the issue.
In other words, it would be like me asking you what you use your truck for... you answer to haul pig manure around. Then I turn around and write an article stating that Tuplumber puts 10,000,000 miles on his truck just hauling pig manure around. It's a false premise argument where the question of how many miles you drove was never asked nor answered.
