Homeland Security rationing 9 mm ammunition to its agents.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it possesses a "limited amount" of 9mm bullets for agents in the field as well as for training purposes, and it is rationing its ammunition based on internal requests until it can award a new contract.
It is one of several federal law-enforcement agencies that say they are reaching a "critical stage": Their 9mm ammunition is being depleted and tens of thousands of service handguns are approaching the end of their life-cycle, too.
The apparent role poor planning, or another agenda, played in the issue came to light when ICE said it would have run out of 9mm ammo by June 2017 in the absence of a modified contract with its supplier, Vista Outdoor Inc. So, the agency last month approved a $363,307 ceiling increase to contract No. HSCEMS-11-D-00002.
The ICE Office of Firearms and Technical Programs, or OFTP, then ordered more ammunition in March, according to a Justification and Approval, or J&A, document that WND located through routine database research.
But if it were not for the J&A's sloppy redactions – the contract ceiling-extension cost, for example, was partly covered by what appeared to be faded black-marker ink, as were references to annual ammunition purchases under the original contract – the public would remain further in the dark about this questionable acquisition process.

So is DHS going to be audited?

Re: Homeland Security rationing 9 mm ammunition to its agents.
I thought a lot of Federal agencies switched to .40 S&W years ago? A friend of mine has a brother in law in the U.S. Border Patrol. He gives my friend cases of .40 S&W as he says he can not shoot it all. Several cases, every year, and this has been going on for at least ten years, probably more like 15. So maybe the Feds should look at their allotments to people that can just give it away. What waste!

Re: Homeland Security rationing 9 mm ammunition to its agents.
That's exactly what happened. Buy tens of millions of rounds under the guise of HUD, EPA, IRS, even the DOE, so there are no questions asked (except by us, who know how much training ammo an average person needs), and then give it to some insurgency group or third world dick tater . It will show up soon enough in Syria, Libya, or South America... Hopefully not used against an American like Brian Terry (F*#% Eric Holder and the horse he rode in on).
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
