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?

Are these people nuts? We, the taxpayers, bought that stuff for them. Now, because they can’t figure out what to do with it, or how, they want to destroy it? How about this? The ammunition that is legal for citizens to have, not the rockets or bombs, etc., can be sold via the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Happens all the time, why not now. They’ll distribute it to those who paid for it, make some money on the deal and and it’ll be gone in a month.
They don’t want us to get it, that’s why. Under Obummer’s orders!!!
s**t give it to us we paid for it so just let us have the small arms ammo and use the heavy stuff on ISIS
