According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm.

DHS also reportedly purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP).



Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) weighed in on the DHS ammo controversy this weekend.

Inhofe told Aaron Klein that he believes the Obama administration is attempting to “dry up” the ammo market from gun-owning citizens.
