Federal government continues to arm
itself to the teeth while Obama
administration pushes gun control
While the Obama administration sets out to
eviscerate the gun rights of American
citizens in the aftermath of Sandy Hook,
earlier this week it was announced that the
Department of Homeland Security has
awarded a company a contract worth over
$45,000 dollars to provide the DHS with
200,000 more rounds of bullets. This new
purchase adds to the staggering figure
of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition already
secured by the DHS over the last 9 months
alone.
A solicitation originally posted on
the FedBizOpps.gov website on December
17 on behalf of the DHS Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center advertised the
need for 200 cases of 13–40 Cal, 180
Grain, Jacketed Hollow Point bullets, with
each case containing 1000 rounds, to be delivered almost immediately as soon as the contract is
awarded.
The bullets are to be delivered to a training site in North Charleston, South Carolina, which “specializes
in Maritime Law Enforcement and Port Security Training. Basic and advanced training programs are
conducted in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement Academy, the U.S. Courts
Probation and Pretrial Services Training Academy, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Training Academy, the Customs and Border Protection Field Operations Academy, and the Naval
Criminal Investigative Service.”
The winner of the contract to provide the DHS with the ammunition, announced on January 2, was
Evian Group Inc., an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the
solicitation.
As James Smith documents, Evian Group seems to be little more than a front organization and doesn’t
appear to have any real business assets, a genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.
Back in August, the Department of Homeland Security censored information relating to the amount of
bullets purchased by the DHS on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual
and compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which is

                                                                               citizen is considered
     to be a stockpiling “terrorist” prepper if they own just 1,000 rounds of ammo. The
     government, however, can purchase billions and the mainstream media doesn’t even
     question it.”

     “Where is all this ammunition going? It’s being stockpiled by the federal government,
     awaiting some future event during which it will apparently be “activated.” Why else would
     you stockpile something if you don’t anticipate needing to use it someday?”

     “During all this, Obama and his cohorts in Washington are loudly insisting that American
     citizens have no right to purchase firearms or ammunition, and that new laws will soon be
     enacted to make sure you cannot do what the government does: stockpile weapons and
     ammo.”

Indeed, the double standard is staggering and while Americans are being raided for stockpiling
“arsenals” of weapons that subsequently turn out to be no more than a few guns, the federal
government is simultaneously building a very real and substantial arsenal while the mainstream media
turns a blind eye.
