    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.

    NOAA OLE - fisheries police. Notice all deliveries to coastal states.


    This is why infowars is a subpar "news" agency. Either they aren't doing their homework or they are blatantly misrepresenting information to promote their agenda.

      I think we all know it's both, but we know which of those two is more prevalent.

        The NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The service, currently authorized to a strength of 321 commissioned officers, is an integral part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
        So assuming its for these guys, each officer gets around 143-144 rounds each. Sounds like enough for a qualification using duty ammo and then more issued for carry.

          lol, no doubt. 750 million rounds seems newsworthy, but leading off with NWS buying 46k rounds is absurd, and false. NWS is part of NOAA, which is the agency that is buying the ammo for their OLE division (been around since 1930 in some form or fashion).

          I don't like how infowars has to editorialize their articles. There is plenty of scary shit to report on that doesn't need to get the tinfoil-hat treatment.

            It's quite reasonable when you look at those numbers.

                  I can't even see a blurb about .40 S&W without immediately thinking "neutered 10mm".

                    The government has ordered .40 S&W - a caliber capable of shooting through 5 infant babies. They have gone as far as purchasing 9mm, which is capable of shooting the emergency exit door out on a 747 jumbo jet, killing 416 people. But that wasn't enough. They have even ordered .223 Remington - a caliber capable of killing every member of congress with just 18 magazines. These calibers can shoot through walls, glass, clothing, wood, decks of cards, sun glasses, window blinds, dog houses, and even pillow cases.
