Just read the first 4 paragraphs and ignore the rest of the hype.

    Call it tinfoily all you want, but can anyone come up with a good reason for the SSA to buy ammo? Even a single bullet?
    That is weird seeing how the SSA office's here are manned by outside contract security, not SSA employees.

    My thought exactly. Is the SSA going to have its own security division or something? If they really are preparing for an uprising (as the tinfoily article suggests... lol) I think .357 Sig would not be their first choice. Strange choice of caliber, strange purchaser, lots of unknowns... Kind of makes me wonder which ammo manufacturer is in bed with the gov on this one.

    Federal Officers don't do building security, its not their jurisdiction (sort of) and sometimes cheaper to contract out.

    All the building security at the Denver Federal Center and all the surrounding federal buildings is contracted out. If there is some kind of threat the FPS guys roll on it.
