240,000 agents 90 rounds each.

Even if let's say only 1\4 are field agents that carry, I don't know every DHS agent I know personally is armed, that's 360 rounds, or one round a day\year of shooting :-)

Let's also hope they're getting proper training. I'd like to see that budget.

I'm really surprised at how few people think this is a bad thing.

DHS is not the police and not the military. Other than the border patrol (which has been pretty much banned from shooting anybody), the only people they could be shooting is us.

240,000 agents??? DHS may have that many employees, but most are clerical.

Bid request from Homeland Security for ammo

There's lots of speculation as to why they need the ammo, but are there any facts available about why?

Another great use of taxpayer money. Would not be surprised if that bird was bought with DHS grant money.

Why is it so outside of bounds to question a national police force with a $100 billion budget?

I think NOT questioning how they are spending that money is suspect.

+1 Question everything.

It sounds like they have a very low opinion of their marksmanship capabilities. A marksman needs ONE bullet.

I came across this, does your number include "contract" personel I wonder...
