I've been trying to think of the last few confirmed "earth shaking" revelations in the press concerning the US. A few I can come up with might be: WorldCom financial melt down Enron Clinton Gate AuboGrab (sp?) <<<---This might not qualify as those idiots did it to themselves by posting the photos online. So the press did not break it, they just reported on it. With the internet making just about everyone a reporter, I think we will see less and less serious revelations by the hard working journalest unless the story is so old that next to no one cares anymore. They will just report on what "the low level accountant discovered his company is lying about its earnings to the tune of $50 billon" and published himself on YouTube and Facebook.

Well, I'm not sure many would call "natural news. com" main stream media. 90% of it is written by one guy? (2 shitang say he's trying to make money.) CNN, MSNBC, Fox all seemed to drop this one when they actually read the request and did some simple math.

But that's not true either. The DHS gave the answer posted i think twice above. The real issue is a very few people don't want to believe it. "US tries to save money sometimes? No way!" "Cops actually train a lot?? Say it isn't so..!"

That's moronic. Guess they did not talk to any cops. I dont know any police dept in the US that does not use hollow point ammo. We shot it at the range to because you practice with what you play with. (Also you want to turn over old stock.) I only got ball ammo in the military. But we still had hollow points and even nastier stuff like zip rounds, tracer, and incendiary.

The Dubliner just moved across and about 100 meters down the street near the Robin Hood.

Well, for one that is not what you asked. But either way, I answered it. See above.

That's what happend to us and also why I did it for about a year. (Went back to the military though afterwards, as many here know.)

And no one liked it when State used Black Water.

"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war."

Wow, that guy is a nutball! Thanks for posting!

It is worse that a lot of people, including you, heard "1billion rounds of ammo" and instantly thought the worst. Yet a simple Google search came up with multipul items citing credible sources and simple math showing this "conspiracy" was nothing of the sort. Ask any USMC weapons training Sgt.; the USMC spends about 100,000 round of ammo training for every 1 round shot in combat.... You dont get good shooting 50 rounds every now and then, you do it shooting a TON.

Sure. Google is your friend. These are just the top three to come up on the search. I think the guy saying they are not talking to him either missed the memo or just did not read (or google) it. http://dailycaller.c...f-handgun-ammo/ http://www.cbn.com/c...ing-Up-on-Ammo/ http://www.foxnews.c...o-many-bullets/ Info on the hollow point ammo: http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/ssabullets.asp

You are right that the military is not part of DHS, but they cross train at DHS facilites. I went to FLEXE just last year for the shotgun course. That was bout 2k rounds right there. And either way, for comparison sake, back in like 1992, we spent about 10k rounds to learn to shot my 45 when I was with Atlanta PD. You also spend a good 100 a month at the range. (In my day 50rnds was the minimum for monthly qual IF you had a really great score.) Add the two hundred or so you are issued for cary and back up and off duty range time.... as you can see, it starts to back up. And that is just the pistol For me I also had to add the back up weapon... the shot gun and if SWAT, several other items. While a lowly pistol packer my only need 50rnds a range day a month to just pass, most want to be really good because their life may depend on it. I never saw anyone only shoot the minimum. Plus, shooting guns at targets is fun. Breaking it down 16k rounds per armed agent is about right. And again, remember they do a lot of cross training other agencies.

You need to think about it a little. Cops and the military train a LOT. How many bullets does it take to teach someone to shoot well? How many to keep them able to shoot at a high level of precision after initial training? Many federal agencies require their agents to go to the range every month and some even more.

I doubt it but maybe. What it is, and has been reported a lot, is what is called "strategic sourcing." Just like how big companies like airlines and shipping buy fuel. What I find very very funny is a lot of people who claim to have vast business knowlage (some here!) dont seem to have ever heard of strategic sourcing.

But that's not true.

Put it on youtube!

Free video conferencing on the free Google Hangouts platform would have cost him (us) about 75 cents.

You seem to forget that as bad as that may have been.... the idiots in the house burned it down themselves.

You of all people should know the danger of 2nd guessing the men on the ground.

Lets be frank and honest, there does too seem to be a problem: Link

Each of those is based on some serious supposition. I wonder why Canada and England don't have those problems....?

Of course you will. That is why I say "verifiable sources." Pic is at best fiction base on the time stamp in it alone. The video..... you really should read the comments, note the date, and brush up on history.

Well.... He is after all a registered Democrat. {Source: CNN}

Maybe... But it's obviously not been working and you will still have to show me the voter fraud. 'Cause I cant find it in any verifiable source. Dems however....
