The Associated Press has launched a whitewash of the recent controversy that saw numerous different branches of the federal government purchase large quantities of ammunition, focusing on the purchase of 174,000 bullets while completely ignoring a far larger purchase by the DHS that totaled over 1.4 billion bullets.

Can anyone tell if this photo has been photo-shopped or is it the real deal?

Wow!! Well, I’m a graphic artist & it sure looks legit.Has a texture on the whole image that could either be from a photo scan or possibly a filter to create a realistic appearance.I’ll grab it & blow it up to have a look when I get home.. But I really hope it’s not real! I mean I love Powell & wouldn’t want to think of him as being OK hanging out with a racist America hater, he’s an honorable man & the idea is hard for my brain to wrap around.
I think we should ALL boycott ALL of the MSM ( including FOX) and only use the net….
OOOPS…. the NET has more junk than MSM…
OH DEAR!
Suggestions?
TO: my911……Given the fact that MSN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN are all LIBERAL supportive sources (99.9% loyal to the left & joke about anyone who does not agree with their opinion…(as well as the Newspapers), it’s MY opinion that FOX is the BEST source for the news on a daily basis!! Apparently, millions of other Americans agree with me because FOX is the most honest and does have all sides represented. The people on FOX present themselves in a professional manner. The people on the other networks make faces, use distasteful language to describe all Republicans, and have had to appologize for misleading their viewers on several big stories recently. I find this behavior unacceptable for a news source.
What’s even more disheartening…the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) has also issued a statement to the same effect that these major weapons and ammo purchases are for training. Calculations put that at approximately 1370 rounds per Federal Officer per year for the next 10 years. Ask you local city patrolman or Sheriff’s deputy…or even a State police officer how many rounds of “DUTY AMMO” they are required to each expend in training/cert/re-cert weapons qualifications. A “small fraction” of this wil be their responses, across the board. Most would love the opportunity to burn that much ammunition on somebody else tab while on duty with other LEOs at the range!
STAY VIGILANT!
Is everything out of control? ONE POINT FOUR BILLION of internationally illegal hollow point ammo, being bought with tax payer´s money, and NOBODY CRIES WOLF? What is the matter with all of the American Americans? Nobody without the slightest idea about who is going to shoot who, and WHY? Wait… Who has been given the Dictatorial rights to decide and order who can be accused of terrorism, jailed without trial and…SHOT? Yes, in the USA; by the Senate. Does “the Kenyan” sound any bells? How about asking the R&R team?
Can you say REVOLUTION??? If Obama declares himself the first US dictator, of course for our own good, then there WILL be a revolution. As a police officer, I was sworn in as a local, then a state tactical unit police officer assigned to the DOD, both oaths included “to defend and uphold the US Constitution”. This is the same oath that the President, all congressional officials, and military also take. But Obama continues to step on the Constitution with his illegal acts and executive orders. Bottom line, this ammo will be used in order to defend the government in it’s illegal acts, even though, they took the same oath. Let’s hope ALL remember that oath is a LIFETIME oath, because I will ALWAYS defend the Constitution…will you??? And to all of my fellow Marines, Semper Fi!!! RAH!!!
I too am a veteran, Army Vietnam and my oath is for life. I was told and always believed I served at the will of the people per the Constitution, not the government. That I was, per the UCMJ, to refuse to obey any unlawful order. I have spoken with many law enforcement, active military and veterans about this hollow point ammo purchase with the people’s money by DHS and to a person they have a big problem regarding this as well. Something is up, our representatives are mute and this is clearly an overt act to usurp our Constitution and the rule of law. Hollow point ammo is prohibited by law for use by the military and violates the rules of engagement under international law. The NRA’s non-answer is also troubling as they are advocates for millions of second amendment citizens in America. A non-answer is not an answer. i will be calling them on this! We all take the same oath, military, law enforcement, elected officials. Violating the oath is treason. So what do we do about this egregious act misappropriating the people’s money to take up arms against the very people who fund the government and own America! Those orders must be cancelled immediately and the parties responsible held accountable to the fullest extent of the law!
Forgot to check the box. Looking for responses to my previous comments!
