    Hollow point bullets designed to cause maximum organ damage

    Tuesday, August 14, 2012

    Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities
    of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal
    agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security
    in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets.

    A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000
    rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New
    Bedford, Mass.

    A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station
    in St. Petersburg, Florida.

    The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the
    same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

    The National Weather Service is is one of six scientific agencies that
    make up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

    The solicitation requires a response by August 21.

    The NWS is following its federal counterpart the DHS in securing large quantities of ammo. Back in March,Homeland Security purchased 450
    million rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to
    expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as
    to why the DHS needed such a large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes.

    As the Business Insider notes, hollow point bullets have been “illegal
    in international warfare since 1899.”

    The DHS is also planning to purchase a further 750 million rounds of
    different types of ammo in a separate solicitation that also expires on
    August 20, including 357 mag rounds that are able to penetrate walls.

    The DHS recently put out an order for riot gear in preparation for the upcoming DNC, RNC and presidential inauguration. The U.S. Army is also
    busy buying similar equipment.

    The DHS also recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint
    booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights.

    The federal government is clearly gearing up for the likelihood of civil unrest on a scale that could outstrip what we’ve already seen in
    countries across Europe.

    While the establishment demonizes the second amendment in light of
    recent mass shootings and legislation is prepared to ban the sale of
    large quantities of ammunition online, the federal government is
    acquiring ammunition at levels necessary to fight a full scale domestic war.

    UPDATE: The Washington Post now reports, via a statement from NOAA
    spokesman Scott Smullen, that the original solicitation contained a
    “clerical error” and that the “solicitation for ammunition and targets
    for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement mistakenly identified
    NOAA’s National Weather Service as the requesting office.” This still
    doesn’t explain why hollow point bullets, designed to cause maximum
    organ damage, are needed for shooting at paper targets. Was the delivery
    of the bullets to the NWS a cover for them being transferred somewhere
    else? It’s entirely possible given the sordid history of Fast and
    Furious, a federal government program under which guns were sent
    directly to Mexican drug cartels.

    Hollow points make handguns effective.

    Every law enforcement agency uses them, as do most thinking civilians
    for self defense arms.

    Civilians and American Law Enforcement are not tasked with duties
    outside fo the United States..so use of them is proper.

    The number of rounds ordered for the Fisheries Office of law
    enforcement sounds legitimate.

    Now about the DHS orders..that is of concern.

    One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
    agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
    earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
    - and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
    fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
