The Department of Justice is seeking to purchase 95,000 rounds of 9mm hollow-point bullets and has posted online a solicitation that requires bids to be submitted by April 30.
While such bullets often are used in law enforcement, the federal government’s bulk purchase of ammunition in recent years, including a proposal to buy 1.6 billion bullets, has raised concerns about the government’s need for such supplies.
Eyebrows go even higher when the federal government seeks to purchase hollow points, an expanding bullet with a hollow tip designed for “maximizing tissue damage and blood loss or shock,” according to an online explanation.
The current solicitation, posted at FBO.gov, is for the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Prisons. In addition to the specified 95,000 rounds of “9 mm Lugar Jacketed Hollow Point 115 Grain” bullets, it also seeks 46,000 rounds of .223 caliber 55 grain full metal jacket bullets and 4,750 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun shells.

To be clear, hollow points are not used for target practice.

Paper targets, no … human targets, yes.
The best training for war, is war. They have become very confident in their assumed license to wage war upon the American people. Inevitability follows such hubris as surely as darkness follows the day. They all know this. Their culpability is complete, as they write their “policies” and stock their larder for war against the American People. What they DO screams so loudly in our ears, that there is no longer any point in considering a single word they may say about it.
The brutality of inevitability is that it has a way of taking charge. Inevitability took command at Kent State the moment those national guardsmen were ordered to affix bayonets an load their rifles… and we know how that worked out. But this; this is on a profoundly greater scale, in terms of intent and scope, to the extent that it outstrips the bounds of the imagination almost entirely. Their intent goes beyond a thousand Kent State Massacres.
Afterwards, they will all say, “it was policy”, and “I was just following orders”.
I will remain convinced of their guilt. Patriots around the country should be preparing portable gallows, which can be hastily erected on public squares around the country, as a means of *promptly* and publicly dealing with those who, by their polices and/or actions, breach their oaths by the spilling of blood. Nothing less will suffice.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
I can agree with you on all points except the Kent State point. Those so called demonstrators where doing a lot more than demonstrating. Not only where they burning buildings, they where also threatening store owner (hang up anti war signs or we will burn down your store). They where also throwing large chunks of concrete at the Guard troops. I am all for a peaceful demonstration, but when you destroy property and threaten the life of another. You need to face the consequences of that decision.
The shots fired where over the attackers heads and not into the crowd. The intention was to disperse the attackers. The ones that where hit where a 100 plus yards from the mob. I personally know people that where there in the Guard and students attending college at the time.
