IMO Fred is getting excited over nothing.

There's a big difference between issuing an IDIQ contract and actually buying that much ammo.

DHS easily has about 20,000 Federal agents. So that comes out to 4000 rounds per agent per year. And only if they're needed. Big deal.

As far as the detention facilities go, there are maybe 30 on the entire eastern time zone. A lot of them look like county jails that DHS has made arrangements to also detain illegal immigrants. These places are small. way to small to worry about being used to lock up entire cities.

Besides we've got lots of militry bases thay can use for that, lol.
