Potential Ammo Drain

[Doc]

Below is an e-mail that I received from Chris Collins, my Congressional Representative, regarding one possible cause for the aggravation of the ammo shortage. Take a look down through it and see what you think of the purchase preparations of 1.1 billion rounds of ammo by the Department of Homeland Security. It sounds similar to another post that I saw here on this forum quite a while ago.

I am reaching out to you to let you know about legislation that I voted in favor of last night to protect 2nd Amendment rights.

There has been great concern over the past several months in regards to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) soliciting bids for 1.1 billion rounds of ammunition. This purchase of ammunitions by DHS has raised questions and concerns among many law abiding gun owners and sportsmen and women.

Representative Mark Meadows introduced an amendment that would delay contracts for ammunition procurement until the cost and need is known by Congress and the American people. Rep. Meadow’s amendment would require DHS to submit a report to Congress regarding these ammunition purchases by the President’s next budget. I was proud to support that amendment.

As your voice in Congress, I want you to know that I will always stand up to protect your 2nd Amendment rights.

As always, please let me know how I can help you.

With Best Regards,

CHRIS COLLINS
Member of Congress

I had heard about DHS ammunition buys, now this confirms it. I wonder how a government agency can purchase anything without disclosure... puzzling.
