House Votes To Delay DHS Ammo Buy

[dc dalton]

The House late Wednesday voted to stop the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from entering into new contracts to buy millions of rounds of ammunition until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports to Congress on the need for the ammo, and its cost.

House votes to delay bulk ammunition purchase by DHS - The Hill's Floor Action

"Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) said the amendment was unnecessary based on his talks with DHS officials."

Excuse me!?

Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) said the amendment was unnecessary based on his talks with DHS officials. Carter said the department has since admitted that its ammunition needs are not as great as first reported, and said the department is pursuing a bulk purchase to keep the costs down.

Carter also rejected speculation by some that there are ammunition shortages around the country because DHS is buying it all, and said the Meadows's language would interrupt the regular procurement process at DHS. But Meadows pointed out that his amendment would not interrupt current Homeland Security contracts to buy ammunition.

The Meadows language passed late Wednesday night in a 234-192 vote.

--- I would like to know where Carter is getting all of his information.

Enough ammo to fight a 20 year war hardly qualifies as "saving money by buying in bulk".........

Well, all the reputable news channels and an awful, awful lot of our fellows on this & various other gun boards assure us that there's no conspiracy here, only our greedy little selves to blame for the ammunition shortage. And I've heard/seen that said/written so many hundreds of times...why it MUST be TRUE! [Don't ya' think?]

God Bless America...land of the shepherd...home of the flock.

So what are you providing as proof of a conspiracy that the naysayers aren't?
