The Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration posted a market survey on the General Services Adminstration website today. “The purpose of this questionnaire is to obtain information on commercial industry capability to satisfy U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Requirements for .357 SIG caliber training ammunition,” the post states. .357 SIG is billed as preferred pistol ammo by law enforcement and is lauded for its “stopping power.” The Virginia State Police report that attacking dogs have been stopped dead in their tracks by a single shot, whereas the former 147 grain 9 mm duty rounds would require multiple shots to incapacitate the animals, according to The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery. Infowars.com has reported on numerous bids put out by the government for various weapons and millions of rounds of ammunition. In July, we reported on a Department of Homeland Security plan to buy Colt LE901 rifle system. “The 901 is much more than your typical assault rifle,” notes the Prepper Podcast Radio Network website. The weapon will allow “the DHS/FEMA foot soldier to go from an assault rifle to picking off ‘terrorists’ at a distance by only changing the upper receiver.” In June, FedBizOpps.gov listed a “Personal Defense Weapons Solicitation” issued by DHS calling for 5.56x45mm NATO select-fire firearms “suitable for personal defense.” The due date for the solicitation is mid-October of 2012 In April, we reported on the DHS awarding contracts to a munitions company for 450 million rounds of .40 caliber hollow point ammunition. Prior to this, the feds awarded Winchester a five year contract for 200 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition. “I could understand if the U.S. military was ordering ammunition in this quantity. When you fight wars you can go through ammunition very rapidly,” the American Dream blog commented following the extraordinary purchase. “But the Department of Homeland Security is only supposed to be shooting at people very rarely.” Also in April, Paul Joseph Watson reported on the DHS purchasing bullet resistant guard booths. “The purpose behind the bullet proof booths is unknown, but the DHS has publicly announced that it plans to increase the number of unannounced checkpoints manned by TSA VIPR teams and other federal agents beyond the 9300 that were set up last year alone,” Watson wrote at the time. “It looks like DHS and the feds are gearing up for something big. A growing chorus of urgent voices are warning that the economy will finally implode this year and the result with be social chaos,” we wrote in July.
Poster Comment: Seems like the federal homeboy security's might be thinking about buying .357 SIG barrels for their .40 cal pistols. For those Jokers with body armor. They're a paranoid bunch, and have vivid imaginations. If so, what are they going to do with the 450 million rounds of .40? It's a fun round. The thing I first noticed about it was the muzzle flash, shooting in Death Valley on a bright and sunny day (H&K USP compact).
.357 SIG.

Sounds to me like they are preparing for the race riots and burning cities if/when Barry loses the election. This just may provide the professional criminal class we call politicians with the excuse they have long been lusting for to declare Martial Law.
A friend told me something similar in an email tonight. I hope you're both wrong.
I figure that the riots will be delayed about 3 months if Obama wins. So spring of 2013, instead of winter. I'm guessing that Obama will win, but only because Mitt's such a dud. I'm notoriously bad about predicting these things, so I could very well be wrong.

Tweedledumb or Tweedledumber - take your pick. Or you axe. We're so screwed.
I don't. We are dealing with strong emotions here that will be supercharged by the rhetoric of the various "Rev-Runds" firing up the Tan Klan crowd. And let's face it,blacks and browns in full riot mode,burning cities and attacking whites in the streets are THE perfect model for anarchy and the calls for the government to suspend the Constitution and declare a state of Martial Law as the foolish whites that aren't armed scream for the government to "Do something! Do ANYTHING,but make me safe!" And the Bill of Rights turn to dust,and the New World Order forms a new government to serve the new conditions that exist. A new government that doesn't gave all that "stinking Bill of Rights stuff" that keeps the government from doing the things it "needs" to do to keep the citizens safe. Like seizing privately owned weapons and enforcing a curfew and travel restrictions,for example. And guess what? We will have Massachusetts Mitt in the White House to sign off on all of this without a whisper of dissent from the alleged Republican Party. Signing off on and getting stuff passed that a someone with a D behind his name could never even dream of getting passed into law. Don't ya just feel safer already? "Your papers,please!",anyone?
