National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase

Hollow point bullets designed to cause maximum organ damage

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.
