I thought I would bust your bubble with a little piece from http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/160088#.UFy3x_IhgUD.
It seems that the Department of Homeland Security is preparing for an all-out “American Spring” rebellion and has bought 1.2 billion bullets for counterterrorist snipers.
Probably all those 47% who finally realised they are getting screwed--especially the ones who are dumb enough to be single issue voters for "gun rights".
Anyway, it sounds as if they will be ready for you since according to infowars.com writer and author Paul Joseph Watson they purchased .223 rifle ammunition, plus another 176,000 rounds of .308 caliber 168 grain hollow point boat tail (HPBT) rounds in addition to 25,000 rounds of blank .308 caliber bullets.
“It is the type of ammunition and not necessarily the quantity that is troubling,” James Smith Prepper Podcast was quoted as saying. “All of the sniper grade ammunition is being used by trained, or in-the-process-of-being-trained snipers,” wrote Smith. Adding up the number of lethal bullets tallies a potential 135,384 kills for the snipers, based on U.S. Army and Marine figures from the Vietnam War, when soldiers used 1.3 rounds of ammunition for each verified kill.It gets even better:
Homeland Security’s purchases of the huge arsenal “is both worrying and ironic given that Americans are being harassed and treated with suspicion for buying a couple of boxes of ammo at their local gun store,” Watson wrote.
However, the U.S. Army has been preparing for rebellion in the streets, and a Military Police training manual, entitled “Civil Disturbance Operations” describes how to suppress riots and kill civilians when confronting “dissidents." The manual states, “Warning shot will not be fired,” Watson reported.
U.S. Government officials have refused to comment.
Given they have they type of equipment that can hunt you down from miles away, I hope that gives you some serious nightmares.
But, you lot want the US to be a war zone.
Have fun!
Being bought by the same government that we're supposed to trust with giving us rights. Pooch, you do realize, don't you, that this article only goes to support our side.
ReplyDeleteThis purchases were explained by the authorities already. Practice rounds, as evidenced by the "in addition to 25,000 rounds of blank .308 caliber bullets." as a part of those purchases. Those blanks you know, they are really dangerous!
ReplyDeleteTake your tin foil hat off Laci, the government buys guns and rounds all the time. And they have been prepared for civil unrest for,,,,,, 75 years?
Conspiracy theorists, give me a break.
That report was a total wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory, not worthy of print, and feeds into the extremists' fantasy of jack-booted government authorities marching into their basements to take away their little collection of gunzzz.

Whoa! Ho ho ho ho ha (deep, surprised laughter). Are you telling me that Laci posted a fictional article as fact? How is that possible when Laci portrays himself as being smarter than God Almighty?
DeleteEven if the article and claims are true, what makes you think all the Homeland Security snipers would be firing at civilians? Who is to say that most of the snipers wouldn't turn the guns on law enforcement agents who violate the basic premise of common law and the U.S. Constitution?
ReplyDeleteThus the premise for the establishment of a set of fundamental liberties, guaranteed by the deterrent of an armed populace.
