maybe they started to issue judges as snake control tools.   the 45 colt and 410 don't make any sense to me, but every thing else does.   personally I wish more agencys would issue 3030s instead of ars.   there is less of a public stigma around them and they are legal for the

Might be to familiarize non shooters with guns other than their issue pistol so they lower the number of ND's.
Most cops don't know anything but what they were issued, and don't know that very well.
Or, maybe some one at DHS is using the "company credit card" to stock up .
Look at the amounts, these would be impressive for an individual, (remember MB's pallet of ammo ?)
But they are nothing like the millions of rounds of service ammo they put out to bid not to long ago.
TW, 4 cases of 45 Colt isn't going to come anywhere near cornering the market .
Heck, they could pick that up at any larger gun store.

I think that they bought that stuff because it was the only ammo left where they shop.

True and valid point,...even though .45 Colt pushes $1.00 a rd. Maybe it's just a spending spree with taxpayer money.. They can't help it, I'm sure "someone" will post a validation and genuine need for the DHS to get involved in these calibers.

It's either a truly noble cause, or for the children. But alas, I am merely a pleiaben in this fundamentally changed America.

That and SASS ammo is way downloaded compared to over the counter stuff.
