I've still got some questions myself about this but this does sound like a logical explanation to me.

Also remember that due to President Obama's desire for government transparency orders like this are online now when before they would have been buried out of sight and out of mind.

But you just have to wonder about all those that are hoping for some kind of civil unrest or a civil war just because they lost an election and are fixin' to lose two.

 

Louisiana 'ambush' kills 2 deputies, wounds 2

http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/16/justice/louisiana-officers-shot/index.html

 

I dont dissagree with you regarding guns, i dont really see any need for someone to own ak47s of m16s and such, but if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have them, I think the U.K is finding out at the momment that even though guns are banned people are still being shot, I myself with friends used to go shooting to a local gun club, military ranges etc and we allways have respected fire arms, the biggest issue is, well I have allways thought.... why do people feel the need to keep hundreds of rounds of ammo in the house, ..... why not only be able to aquire ammo on the days you go shooting ? you cant shoot anyone without bullets.
If you want to own a gun whats wrong with leaving it at the range

 

Hey dick wad, did you hear? Another libtard with mental problems and a gun did it again today.

This is what stupid liberals do when they get their mentally deranged hands on a gun.


Accused gunman ripped Family Research Council policies before opening fire, sources say

An FBI affidavit in the investigation of a shooting Wednesday at the downtown Washington, D.C., offices of the Family Research Council says the accused gunman uttered a statement to the effect of, "I don't like your politics," before reaching into a backpack for a handgun and opening fire.
Floyd Lee Corkins II, of Herndon, Va., 28, is charged with assault with intent to kill, in addition to federal firearms charges.
Corkins was wearing a white prison jumpsuit and showed no visible emotions or reactions at federal court Thursday.
When the judge asked if the 28-year-old could afford a private attorney, Corkins responded that he only had $300 to his name. The judge assigned a public defender.
He was ordered to be held without bond and a detention hearing was scheduled for next Friday. Prosecutors also asked for a mental evaluation.
Leo Johnson, an unarmed building operations manager, is being lauded by D.C. police as a hero for stopping and disarming Corkins before he could get into the building.
Surveillance video shows Johnson interacting with Corkins before he allegedly opened fire, striking Johnson in the arm. The security guard managed to wrestle Corkins to the ground and disarm him before he could get inside the group's offices.
"The security guard here is a hero, as far as I¹m concerned," D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said. "He did his job. The person never made it past the front."
Sources told Fox News that after Johnson disarmed Corkins, the gunman said: "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."
Johnson underwent surgery late Wednesday. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, visited the hospital and said the surgery "went well" in a statement to Fox News.
"When I told him his actions were heroic in protecting his colleagues, he told me that he just reacted in the way he thought anyone at FRC would have responded," Perkins' statement read. "We are very grateful for the outpouring of prayers from literally around the world."
Perkins gave his first interview to Fox News' "America Live." He made it clear that he blamed the suspect for the shooting, but said he was "given a license" by groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which labeled the Family Research Council as a hate group.
"I think it's time for people to realize what the Southern Poverty Law Center is doing with their reckless labeling of organizations that they disagree with," he said.
The Southern Poverty Law Center declined an interview request from the program.
Corkins had volunteered recently at a community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Two law enforcement officials said Corkins was carrying sandwiches from Chick-fil-A, a fast-food chain whose chief executive¹s public opposition to same-sex marriage led to a heated national cultural debate, including boycotts and events held in support of the Atlanta-based chain.
Authorities say Corkins was carrying a 9-mm. Sig Sauer handgun that was purchased and owned legally, said Richard Marianos, special agent in charge of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Washington field office.
Corkins' backpack contained 50 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, the FBI affidavit said.
The accused gunman's parents also told the FBI that their son held "strong opinions with respect to those who do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner," the affidvit said.
Authorities were investigating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism, although James McJunkin, the head of the FBI¹s Washington Field Office, said authorities do not yet know the gunman's motive.
"We don't know enough about him or his circumstances to determine what his connection is to this group [the research council] or his mental state, or what he was doing or thinking of doing," McJunkin said Wednesday. "So we're going to try to sort this all out, pull the evidence together, do all the interviews we can."
Corkins had been volunteering for roughly six months at The DC Center for the LGBT Community, according to David Mariner, executive director of the northwest Washington community center. Corkins usually staffed the center's front desk on Saturdays, and his most recent shift was about two weeks ago.
"He always struck me as a kind, gentle and unassuming young man," Mariner said. "I'm very surprised that he could be involved in something like this."
Mariner said he did not know Corkins well or have any conversations with him about the Chick-fil-A controversy or other political issues of interest to the gay community.
"I really only talked to him about volunteering, so I couldn't say anything about anything else," Mariner said.
The Family Research Council, according to its website, is a conservative nonprofit organization that seeks to advance "faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion." The group strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion and maintains a powerful lobbying presence on those causes, often testifying before Congress. The organization had also defended Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy for his remarks opposing gay marriage.
Meanwhile, advocacy groups across the ideological spectrum condemned the violence, with some casting it as a hate crime.
"Today's attack is the clearest sign we've seen that labeling pro-marriage groups as `hateful' must end," Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage, said in a statement.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Obama, who was traveling in Iowa Wednesday, was informed of the 10:45 a.m. shooting shortly after 1 p.m.
"The president expressed his concern for the individual injured in the shooting and his strong belief that this type of violence has no place in our society," Carney said.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said in a statement that he was appalled.
"There is no place for such violence in our society," he said. "My prayers go out to the wounded security guard and his family, as well as all the people at the Family Research Council whose sense of security has been shattered by today's horrific events."
Authorities later seized Corkins' car at a northern Virginia Metro station and interviewed neighbors, several of whom spoke highly of his family.
"They were always so sweet and so nice," said Stephanie Meyer, who lives nearby Corkins' Virginia home. "They are awesome people. We never had any issues."
Corkins is not a member of the Air Force, but he may have lived at Andrews Air Force Base in some other capacity in the past, possibly as a dependent or family member, according to a U.S. Defense Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to provide personal information.
Amy Biondi and her husband Steve were visiting Washington from Long Island with their daughter and a friend and tried to ask officers for help with a parking meter when they were told there was a situation they had to deal with. The door to the FRC was opened, and an officer could be heard repeatedly shouting, "Put the gun down, put the gun down."
"Next thing you know there are police officers swarming the area," said Biondi, 45, a massage therapist from St. James, N.Y.
The family didn't get a close look inside, but they said the man that officers were talking to seemed to comply immediately.
Fox News' Mike Levine and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I would appreciate it if you would post the quote where I was disrespectful of the dead. Im pretty sure you misread something. Im not in the habbit of disrespecting the dead unless they deserve it.

 

i had some questions about why noaa, ssa, dhs would be purchasing .357 hollow points, .40jhp, .223

the DHS is moving its main offices to anacosta and ordered several check point booths, the 450million rounds ordered in march are just the tip of a 1.6 billion round total requisition
all departments are rearming to adapt the use of heavier (more lethal) firearms and ammunition that is normaly a 1 shot product

the .223 rounds are all set to be tungsten tipped

conspiracy theorists tend to believe its all to prep for civil unrest but now that the dhs is redacting order amounts it can be questioned

so stock up now
prices are about to go up massively

 

Me I'm preparing for The Zombie Wars a/o Maya End Times, which ever comes first.

nd the answer ti usgi boxes is yes

but the thought of ordering hollow pionts for "training and qualification" is disturbing and now i cannot even order any .40cal hanguns

 

The FRC asswipes, need to be killed, to bad a smarter gunman did not step up!

 

I googled "gun control"

first hit was

Ryan and Ted Nugent . . .

in local news today

PEARLAND, Texas—A suspect was shot in the stomach by police during an attempted bank robbery in Pearland Friday afternoon, according to authorities.
The incident happened around 1:30 p.m. in the 8700 block of W. Broadway near Cullen. Police say the suspect intended to rob Capital Bank.
An off-duty Houston police officer spotted the masked suspect carrying a shotgun in the parking lot and called 9-1-1. Pearland units quickly arrived on the scene. Pearland police headquarters is just a couple blocks away. Also, Pearland officers just happened to be in a training session. Many of them left to respond to the scene.
The suspect refused to drop the shotgun, according to Lt. Onesimo Lopez of the Pearland Police Department, when officers confronted him. Lt. Lopez said he began walking toward his SUV when officers opened fire, striking the armed suspect in the abdomen and thigh.
He was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital with what Lt. Lopez said appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. His current condition is unknown.
No police officers were injured.
Those working in the strip center where the bank is located said they heard the shots and ran to the back of their offices to hide.
"We were scared," said a dentist who works in the center.

Old Bridge Shooting: Several Reportedly Killed In Mass Shooting At New Jersey Pathmark

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/31/old-bridge-shooting-mall-new-jersey_n_1845961.html

Police say the naked man was behind the wheel of a vehicle when he forced his way through the gate on the homeowner's property at around 8am Monday on Tierwester Street near Lehall on Houston's south side.. The homeowner emptied one gun into the suspect's vehicle and when the suspect didn't stop, he began firing another gun at the vehicle.

 

For those in a panic about the massive recent purchases of ammunition by various government agencies...It happens every year or two. The various agencies and the military stockpile huge amounts of ammo and then start using it up in practice. Once the ammo reaches a certain age it is either destroyed or sold off as surplus and replaced. As for the ordering of massive ammounts of hollow point ammo, they use the same ammo in practice that gets used on the street. They are the government and as a result they can afford to burn high quality, expensive ammunition on regular practice and qualification shooting. They also get bulk rates on their ammo so it costs a fraction of what a few boxes of (insert name brand and type here) cost the rest of us at the local gun store.

As it stands right now, Wal Mart and Big Five have military issue 00 buckshot made by Olin on sale for five bucks a box. They got it surplus from uncle sam and they got a lot of it too. It will probably be available for a couple years at least. They usualy dont let much of the good stuff like armor piercing ammo get out in surplus but once in a while you can find it.
