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.
“Despite years of effort, the Army, Navy and Air Force still don’t have an efficient process for doing something as basic as sharing excess bullets. This Government Accountability Office (GAO) report clearly shows that our military’s antiquated systems lead to millions of dollars in wasteful ammunition purchases.” states Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
And how much did DHS purchase?

Give it to DHHS and local Police. They seem to want to go Military.
Our luck they are only saying they were going to get rid of them, they will probably send them to the terrorists!
No ammunition no guns !

“That ammunition belongs to the TAXPAYERS! They need to let them take what they want!”

and Mona there is even a form to return the unused items to the GAO and GSA for sale to the public
THAT’S STUPID……
That ammunition should be given, or at least sold, to the American people who paid for it in the first place, if they can’t find ways to distribute it to our Armed Forces.
