DHS: you may be an "extreme right wing terrorist"

Also, this may be why ammo is in short supply:

Check out the part comparing the cartridge consumption by the military during the Iraq war.

Almost looked like a real news site for a minute there.

For those that don't know Artessa, New Mexico, Glynn County, Georgia and a few smaller location are where all Federal law enforcement (civilian) are trained with the exception of FBI and DEA.

The training centers just fall under Homeland Security. It used to be under Treasury.

Search : Federal law enforcement training center. FLETC

Also train state and local law enforcement.

They train a lot of law enforcement, that is why they need lots of ammo.

21.6m? Is that all.

Lets get some perspective on ammo production - quick search on the interweb shows 14bn rounds made each year, 39% in the US alone. So that's 5.6bn rounds produced in the US alone. 5 days a week, and I'm making that 22.4m rounds per day.

So 21.6m is little under a single day's production in the US alone, and if the US market has cornered worldwide sales (which is probably has at the moment), then 21.6m is amount of ammo made by lunchtime on a single day.
