Another twist on ammo shortage... thank you USPS

This article brings things more in to the light on the ammo shortage.

» U.S. Postal Service Announces Giant Ammo Purchase Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Two things happening here.

1- Stockpile ammunition of all types to have ready if/when civil unrest breaks out.
2-Deplete the ammunition supply to the general populace long enough and you deplete the ammunition stockpile of the same demographic through attrition.
They shoot it up, then can't find replacements.

This is all done in preparation for, or to help mitigate, any civil unrest.

Arming the postmen now?..

 

[indykid]

Reading that article it looks like the whole government is becoming an armed camp. I wonder if all their pushing we the people is starting to scare them?

Guns are banned at USPS so what are they going to do with all this ammo?

Guys, this is on infowars.com. They say a broken clock is right twice a day, but this guy would be the clock the hands fell off of!

the government is stock pilling all this ammo but yet my unit couldn't get ammo to qualify with our weapons earlier this year.

The government is just stockpiling it so they can sell it as surplus at some point in the future.

Always looking out for the little guy!

There's a lot of stories of where a government agency has a set budget for a year and if they don't use all of it, they have a smaller budget for next year. There's stories of air bases running their jets for 2 days just to burn the gas they had on hand so they could purchase more. You guys ever see the movie Falling Down?

Besides, government purchases under pretty much every department, it lets them order large amount of ammo at a discounted price and helps lock in ammo prices

The government orders ammo. Not that scary of a thought. Big deal. But people who follow infowars and all the other "gummerment is buying EVERYTHING" articles is what leads a lot of paranoid people to buy all the ammo they see because if the government has it, he has to have it.

The USPS hasn't been very profitable these past few years. Maybe they're going to try this ammo flipping thing to get back in the black.

Postal inspectors are armed and train frequently. I don't see anything abnormal about this planned purchase.

Shhh! Don't provide common sense, it's fun to watch the tin-foil hat crowd flip out!

 

[Fred78]

I don't ave a tin foil hat but if you believe anything this administration tells you, you are the one that needs the tinfoil not just for a hat try a suit

 

[caverjamie]

Maybe we just need to do away with armed mail inspectors, then they can save all that money they are spending on ammo and training, and get closer to being back in the black.

remember, there's nothing about Ammo mentioned in the 2nd Amendment.

ammo control is a way to get around the TCOUS implementing gun control.
