Guns and Ammo

Anyone have information on this....this was in an email

On August 9, 2012, The Department of Commerce, for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service (NOAA), put out a solicitation for a “small variety of ammunition”.

That “variety” includes:

16,000 rounds of ammunition for semi-automatic pistols to be factory-loaded 40 caliber S&W 180-grain JHP (jacketed hollow point).
6,000 rounds of ammunition for semi-automatic pistols to be factory-loaded 40 caliber S&W 125-grain CFRHT (frangible).
24,000 rounds of ammunition for semi-automatic pistols to be factory-loaded 40 caliber S&W 180-grain JHP (jacketed hollow point).
500 Transtar II Blue 24” x 40” human silhouette targets.
The ammunition is to be shipped to Ellsworth, ME, New Bedford, MA, Wall, NJ, and St. Petersburg, FL. No targets are being shipped to St. Petersburg.

Why would our federal weather forecasters require anti-personnel ammunition? When and why were they issued anti-personnel firearms? And why would NOAA be purchasing targets that are HUMAN SILHOUETTES?

Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security put out a bid for 450 MILLION rounds of 180-grain 40 caliber JHP ammunition that also included 223 NATO assault rifle ammunition (that is ONLY supposed to be used by troops overseas), and on August 30, 2012 a solicitation closes for an additional 750 MILLION MORE rounds of 40 caliber JHP and 223 assault rifle ammunition.
Why is the Department of Homeland Security purchasing 1.2 billion rounds of 40 cal pistol and 223 mm automatic assault rifle anti-personnel ammunition and calling them target loads?

On August 9, 2012, the Transportation Safety Administration put out a solicitation for 700 pounds of Ammonium Nitrate and 700 pounds of A-5 Flake RDX as detonators. Timothy McVeigh used Ammonium Nitrate and diesel fuel to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City. It says that this is to be used to train their dogs, but just how many dogs are they planning on using if it only takes maybe one ounce for training, and that same ounce can be re-used on different dogs? One ounce used only once covers 11,200 dogs.
Why is the Transportation Safety Administration purchasing 700 pounds of high explosives and detonators?

The Federal Department of Education published a solicitation for 27 Remington Model 870 12 gauge pump police shotguns.
Why would the Federal Department of Education be purchasing 12 gauge anti-personnel police shotguns?

The Internal Revenue Service published a solicitation for 60 Remington Model 870 12 gauge pump police shotguns.
Why would the Internal Revenue Service be purchasing 12 gauge anti-personnel police shotguns?

The Social Security Administration published a solicitation for 174,000 rounds of .357 125 grain Sig bonded jacked hollow point pistol ammunition. The ammunition is to be shipped to 41 locations, including SSA headquarters in Baltimore as well as Los Angeles, Detroit, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
Why would the Social Security Administration be purchasing 174,000 rounds of .357 magnum anti-personnel pistol ammunition?

No one hunts wild game with frangibles because the bullet disintegrates on impact, shredding whatever it hits, and leaves shrapnel inside the target. No hunter likes chewing on bits of lead.
No one hunts with jacketed hollow points because the bullet spreads out on impact and leaves a hole many times its original diameter inside the target and pulverizes whatever it hits.

No one target shoots with frangibles and jacketed hollow points. That’s the purpose of lead and full metal jacket less expensive “target” loads. Most target ranges do NOT allow frangibles and JHP ammunition to be used on their premises.

No, these bullets have been purchased to hunt PEOPLE. Since the organizations purchasing these rounds are inside our borders, it may be assumed that they are going to be used to hunt PEOPLE INSIDE OUR BORDERS. The fact that NOAA has purchased human silhouette targets for practice should be a CLUE.

How many more domestic federal agencies, which have NO BUSINESS storing, training or carrying weapons, are currently putting out bids for anti-personnel weapons and ammunition without our knowledge?

    Since it was in an email, I took a quick look on Snopes. Part of it is accurate and part of it isn't:

    Among other things, it explains the reason for the type of ammo.

    You'd think by now that people would figure out that mass E-Mails and Chain Letters are pretty much worthless pieces of crap.
