Our Federal Executive branch of government (specifically, the Department of Homeland Security) is requisitioning 1.6 billion - billion, with a "B"- rounds of ammunition. That is enough to start a 5 year land war in Asia or a 20 year US civil war. It is actually more than 10 years worth of ammunition for all departments that do range training. Added to their order are an unspecified number of armored personnel carriers. (The kind with gun ports and 50 caliber machine gun mounts on top.) The Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General ordered 174,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition (the kind you use to kill people, not the kind you use to do target practice) for its 300 armed employees.
This is par for the course in a socialist military dictatorship; but it's unheard of in a developed democratic republic.
