The Pentagon has planned to destroy around $1 billion dollars worth of ammo since April 2014, all because they say there is no system in place to share them across different branches of our armed forces.

They can’t sell it to the public?? Or just simply transfer it to other branches? This makes no sense.
its a form of gun control by getting rid of all ammunition and creating a shortage which makes your gun nothing more than a wallhanger

WHY not sell them to the general public and put some coins back into the Feds coffers? Assh*les…….
It wouldn’t be bad as long as Democrats and Muslims and all other enemies of America are the targets.
Don’t destroy it. Use to overthrow the current admin.
Yeah right…..that’s for us…the ones that fight back! You know…the ones that won’t get in the boxcar eagerly.
To make it unavailable to Americans?
