OP,

I'll make this easy for You:

FBI bought a Shit Load of LAR-40 Rifles

These rifles shoot .40 JHP

At least they are prolly not.

This crap needs to be investigated because this nonsense sounds like someone in the government is getting a kickback or selling the rounds on the black market. Maybe they are giving them to their Mexican cartel butthole pals.

At any rate there is a scandal in there somewhere and it needs to be broken open. It all needs to be picked apart to see who is benefitting.

if they were doing it to short the average citizen, i think they would buy out more common 9mm, .45acp, .38 spcl, .357 mag etc. i know the .40 s&w has been around for some time, but it's lack of popularity makes it less common. if it were a conspiracy to create an ammo shortage why not eliminate the sizes of ammo that have been tried and tested for generations, that people rely on?

If TSHTF and America is in full blown anarchy, the government
goes into survival mode.
The government mentality is that they are important.
Not just important, but the most important thing there is.

Up here in the mountains we lost power for a week, thanks to
the windstorm in July.
We had no electricity. We had no telephone. We had no food
or water (except what we had put back).
And.
We had no government.

Nobody killed anybody, or robbed anybody, or beat anybody up.
We all helped each other.

Of all the things I just mentioned that we lost,
what do you think was last on the list of importance?

But the bloodsuckers, the parasites, the leeches who survive
on the labor of the working people,
think we can't do without them.

And they'll make sure that if nobody else survives, they will,
if they have to kill all the rest of us to do it.

I think they are trying to create a shortage for the average citizen. The manufacturers will be too busy filling gov. contracts to produce commercial rounds.

There are much easier ways if that was the goal. Maybe they know that a shortage is coming. Or shall we say a stopage is coming.

Maybe the shit is going to hit the fan and they want to have all those rounds because no one is going to be making any more for a while.

They are ordering that size because it is unpopular, so when a gigantic order comes in, the manufacturer will probably have to close down the more popular lines to fill the gigantic government order, otherwise, they would have to hire extra workers.
The .40 hollow points will be of no use to the average citizen, just in case...
Do you know who the manufacturer is?

here are some legislative orders in an order that maybe you can see the light of why these agencies have ammo budgets.

■EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
■EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

this makes more sense, but seriously...i don't understand government logic...guess it's the same logic i use with the choice of having a handgun and rifle chambered for .357 mag...2 platforms that use the same round...but why the hell would they choose the .40s&w?

And virtually all of those IIRC were merged into one executive order which is 12919.
