[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2106481, member: 7539"] Ok... If you guys go here you can see an example of one of the actual bid sheets from the latest news story where people are saying that now DHS is buying an additional 21.6 million rounds. [url]https://marketplace.fedbid.com/fbweb/fbobuyDetails.do?token===wBKxmaVGYR9Kcq5Ajq%2BRH6QAAAAAHeAAgAgTFCGg/FzzqQbJAAyVXBA0Or[/url] There is a link within the file that has the actual PDF file from the .gov with the same details... it even has a contact name and number. What concerns me is that when you look at the bid sheet, it pretty clearly spells out that the quantities are NOT for the huge amounts that infowars and others are claiming. For example, when it uses the language below: Commercial Leaded Training Ammo (CLTA) Pistol Cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point(Jhp) p/n P40HSTS3G OR EQUAL. BRASS CASING 100,000 ROUNDS PRICE PER 1000 ROUNDS WILL INCLUDE DELIVERY. And then the qty is 100. It means that they are asking for a bid of up to 100,000 rounds with pricing per 1000 rounds and quantity of 100. That's 100 x 1000 for a max of 100,000, NOT 100 units of 100,000 rounds as infowars wants us to believe. The totals are NOT 100,000x100 + 100,000x100 + 40,000x40 = 21,600,000. The [B]real totals[/B] are 1000x100 + 1000x100 + 1000x40 = 240,000. Pretty big difference... I love a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, and I'm always skeptical of our government, but this seems like people running around with their heads on fire just to get attention and further the cause. If you don't believe me, there is a contact name and phone number on there... call the dude and ask the question directly like NONE of these "reporters" have done. Ps. I would have already done it, but I don't really want to be calling up DHS and questioning them lol. [/QUOTE]
