So why do they need 13.3 yrs worth of ammo in a 5 yr period? First, because these offices, among others, have been moved from other agencies to DHS over the past few years: U.S. Secret Service U.S. Customs Service U.S. Coast Guard Transportation Security Administration Strategic National Stockpile Office for Domestic Preparedness Nuclear Incident Response Team National Infrastructure Protection Center National Domestic Preparedness Office National Biological Warfare Defense Analysis Center Immigration and Naturalization Service Federal Protective Service Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Federal Emergency Management Agency Domestic Emergency Support Teams CBRN Countermeasures Programs Second, because many thousands of local police departments are now training at DHS centers, including firearms training and ranges. -- Ed Huntress |

What's a few zeros among friends?
1.6 bil is the same as 1,600 mil. Divided by 120 mil does work out to 13 years. Ah, well. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. .. "Pete C." wrote in message ...

So why do they need 13.3 yrs worth of ammo in a 5 yr period? Perhaps they just like the noise. Well, you said it yourself... you said that you shot, what was it? 300 -some rounds in one afternoon? Why do you begrudge your homeland security people having an afternoon at the range once in a while :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

We just need another good crisis. Maybe a bombing in a crowded town or
something. Yeah, that would be good. .. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. .. "Larry Jaques" wrote in message ...
