Social Security Administration Explains Plan to Buy 174,000 Hollow-Point Bullets


(CNSNews.com - By Penny Starr) – Aug 16, 2012 

 The Social Security Administration posted a blog on Thursday to explain why it was planning to purchase 174,000 hollow point bullets. SSA posted a "Request for Quote for Ammunition" on the FedBizOps.gov website on Aug. 7. 

The request listed the commodity that SSA desired as ".357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacketed hollow point pistol ammunition." The quantity listed was "174 TH." 

The SSA’s Office of the Inspector General’s said it posted a new blog on the agency’s website, “Beyond the Numbers,” “as we strive to be a transparent and accountable government organization for all of our stakeholders. 

“With those goals in mind, we thought it would be appropriate to address recent media reports regarding the organization’s purchase of ammunition for our special agents’ duty weapons,” the blog post states. The blog states that the SSA has 295 special agents who work in 66 offices across the United States. 

 “These investigators have full law enforcement authority, including executing search warrants and making arrests,” the blog post states. “Our investigators are similar to your State or local police officers. 

 “They use traditional investigative techniques, and they are armed when on official duty,” the blog post states. Concern expressed in some media reports about the type of ammunition ordered by the agency is unfounded, the blog states, explaining that the .357 Sig 125 grain bonded jacked hollow point pistol ammunition is “standard issue for many law enforcement agencies” and is appropriate for the work agents perform. 

 “Our special agents need to be armed and trained appropriately,” the blog post states. “They not only investigate allegations of Social Security fraud, but they also are called to respond to threats against Social Security offices, employees, and customers.” 

 The blog also links to another post about a fight that broke out near an SSA office in Massachusetts that required action by law enforcement officials. “SSA is processing more applications than ever, which means more traffic in SSA office,” the blog states. “Employee and visitor safety is the highest priority for OIG, which, together with the Federal Protective Services and local law enforcement, has jurisdiction over SSA workplaces.” 

 Prior to the blog being posted, CNSNews.com had asked the agency specific questions about its ammunition order. Although some of those questions were addressed by the information provided in the blog, the agency did not say why it needed 174,000 bullets and if that quantity was customary or had increased from previous orders.

 "I have been in law enforcement for 37 years. I have worked with federal agents for years. 
The Drug Enforcement Administration Agents (DEA), US ICE Agents, FBI Agents, and etc. Each of these agencies has always purchased their own ammo. 

So, why now is it necessary for agencies that really have no law enforcement responsibilities, like Social Security, Department of Agriculture, DHS, TSA and etc. buying such vast quantities of ammo? 

The reasons given here by the Social Security Administration for buying ammo are ridiculous. These reasons given alone causes me grave concern because the reasons are lame at best. So, why the ammo purchases? This is worrying the hell out of me because I fear these purchases are cynical in nature. 

I believe the persons responsible for these purchases are really from the Obama Administration. Remember when Obama was elected he stated that he wanted a civilian army just as well equipped and well trained as the US Military. 

Just know that this is what Hitler did when he armed his Brown Shirts. The Brown Shirts were used to terrorize and intimidate German Citizens who spoke out against Hitler. These agencies are buying much more ammo than is customarily purchased by our established federal law enforcement agencies. 
Don’t ignore this because something sinister is taking place."

Sounds like Ed knows what he's talking about...
Why is the government buying so many bullets all of a sudden?
My advice to you folks?  
Stay alert, and BUY MORE AMMO!

  1. 174,000 bullets divided by 295 officers over five years is roughly 118 bullets per year. I don't know about you, but I shoot regularly and fire over 100 rounds every time I go shooting. I do not know how often these folks are required to shoot for qual. and or practice, but I would hope if they are packing with law enforcement responsibilities they are shooting more than once a years. The numbers do not sound completely out of line.

  2. Thanks for posting on the blog.
    Your math is impecable! But your resoning is flawed. Why is this news? When was the last time you heard of the SSA needing to arm it's 'police'? How many SSA 'offenders' are arrested at gunpoint each year?
    Shooting for qualification? That's a joke... I'll wager most have never even held a firearm!
    No, this is an attempt by the current administration to surround itself with a gang of thugs to protect itself. The SSA needs ammo like I need a spaceship. It's all for show.
