Govt Hoarding Ammo?

There’s a “conspiracy theory” going around that the government is buying up all the ammunition so there will be nothing left for us. It’s fueled by certain parts of government we never would have thought of (like the Wildlife Service) buying up billions of rounds of ammunition. That sounds like a LOT of ammo, but when you look at the sheer number of agents that need to be trained in the use of their guns, that number is relatively small. What DOES concern me is the number of agencies (like the Farm Bureau) that now have their own SWAT Teams. Do they really need these armed agents in the FARM Bureau? I know they do in the BLM, what with their many “land grabs” going on—like the Bundy Ranch in Nevada and the other one in Texas, plus who knows how many other “land grabs” in which they’re engaged. I think we need to severely cut back on the sheer NUMBER of armed federal agents we now have in the field. Recently, 70 armed agents of the EPA descended upon a small Alaska town (Chicken, Alaska, over possible violations of the Clean Water Act, a real dangerous undertaking, that.., I think the number of armed agents who moved in there exceeded the population of the town. Other armed agencies are the Library of Congress and the Federal Reserve Board and the national Institutes of Health (I can see where they would need guns for that.) (Fox News Politics)
