You are comparing a nation of firearm owners to 1 federal agency.(DHS)
Billions of rounds being purchased each time for 1 agency is a VERY large number. And lets not forget to mention the drones they have for domestic use, specialized vehicles that are more High-Tech than the military is currently using in overseas war zones. And lets not forget the large amount of ARs they just purchased. I understand they have to be outfitted as an agency. But its obvious they aren't (Gearing up) to check bags at an airport. This is gearing up for SHTF and they have to DEAL with civil uprising. (Sorry for the off-topic reply) </div></div>
Indeed it is a buttload for one agency considering our entire armed forces went thru 70M rounds per year in Iraq, including training. DHS has just ordered more than 20 times that amount....
