Boulder Colorado isn't remote. I can't answer as to the other locations listed on the document.

16,000 to Boulder
8000 to Ellsworth, ME
8000 to New Bedford, MA
24000 to St Petersberg, FL
6000 to Wall, NJ

Geographically, Boulder, itself, may not be remote; but you got to admit....some of the residents are really "WAAAAYYYY out there..."

The Department of Homeland Security has redacted information relating to the quantity of bullets it is buying following a controversy concerning the agency’s purchase of over a billion rounds of ammo, which many fear is a sign the federal government is preparing for civil unrest in the United States.

Despite the fact that documents are only supposed to be redacted if authorized by Congress or for national security reasons, a solicitation posted on the FedBizOpps website yesterday concerning ammunition purchases made by the DHS on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) contains numerous blacked out sections.

Very interesting ammo purchases by various government agencies it makes you pause and think a little....

I keep coming back to the question...what is Obamas stance on this? He is anti gun....so I wonder how he feels about arming all these people that he cannot controll.

The .gov agencies are bulk buying because of price. The orders are not for 100K at one time, but spread out over the time of the contract. The feds do it every few years, you know bulk buying in order to secure a better price.

They also like, school districts and city transportation dept.s bulk bid on fuel to lock in a price that guarantees X price spread out over 1 year. No one complains or gets a case of the noids when denver buys 1 million gallons of fuel.

Saw on Drudge a clarification was sent to the Washington Post by NOAA, claiming a "clerical error" and the order was for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement.

Site was linked from Drudge and now I go back and see they have issued am update to the story.

Still keeping my Tin Foil hat nearby, just in case.

The validity remains in question, but it did claim that DHS has, across two orders, purchased 1.2Billion rounds.

That's a lot of ammo.
