Worth pondering why Social Security needs 174,000 hollow point bullets

My short answer is: They're in DC, iz dangerous place.

Well even the article you cited explains it

The bullets are for Social Security's office of inspector general, which has about 295 agents who investigate Social Security fraud and other crimes, said Jonathan L. Lasher, the agency's assistant IG for external relations.
The agents carry guns and make arrests — 589 last year, Lasher said. They execute search warrants and respond to threats against Social Security offices, employees and customers.
Agents carry .357 caliber pistols, Lasher said. The bullets, which add up to about 590 per agent, are for the upcoming fiscal year. Most will be expended on the firing range.

The bullets, however, are standard issue for many law enforcement agencies, Lasher said, a fact confirmed by the directors of two law enforcement training centers.

"Six hundred rounds per year for training, qualification and I would assume to carry on duty is not out of line at all," said John W. Worden, director of the University of Missouri's Law Enforcement Training Institute.

So is there some conspiracy here that I am not aware of? Sounds like a usual start of the next fiscal year supply plan.

I was told The Social Security Administration had ordered this ammunition in response after having read Dimitru's vision.

Its a secret that only a few know of but those nuclear warehouses are in the basement of the SSA. And those 295 agents will now be the first line of the defense against the new Axis of evil Mexico Cuba and Nicaragua.

I work at a federal government facility, and every morning, I drive through a checkpoint staffed by armed security personnel. Any government agency with security and law enforcement personnel is going to require that they be trained to carry their weapons.




(Or maybe it's not to keep people from getting in, it's to keep the aliens in the basement from getting out.)

I was in a hurry to find any information about an old friend Dumitri Duduman that I took the first web page that any information about his visions.

I apoligize for the content of that web page link that I also find offensive, but the fact remains that this humble man from Romanina has a vision that includes the end time scenerio of a turmoil in middle America.

You would have to hear him in person like I did to be impressed with what that poor man went through in prison in Romaina simply for delivering over 350,000 bibles to Russia in the 80's.

Plus the article was written by a LDS man with the explanation that many of the people that listened to Dumitri's visions on that tour in 91-92 have since left the LDS movement due to their end times thinking.

I accept the fact that many hollow point bullets could be for training, but wouldn't that tear up a lot of targets?

I like to ponder the future not that I can do anything about it ...

Don't be afraid ... be ready

Paper is pretty thin and a hollow point would leave the same size hole as an FMJ or wad cutter.If you where shooting at a steel target hollow points would cause a little less wear than a FMJ.That and there is a little thing called tape which is used to cover up holes allowing one to use the same paper target several times.I do this often myself.

Hollow points are designed to expand inside a target causing more trauma depending on the range and caliber and what they hit along the way they are actually more likely not to exit a persons body.

If one fully expanded it would most likely not exit your body this actually means that it is deadlier you would prefer a bullet hit you and go through you and come out the other side rather than hit you expand and likely fragment and tear up a more of your insides.


They likely are using hydroshocks which is what most police use in the US they are the ultimate form of hollow point maximum expansion minimum penetration this type bullet is very unlikely to exit but very likely to cause maximum trauma.

535 rounds per person is nothing I have buddies that have more than double hell triple that in their house just for one of their firearms the SS guy would be massively out gunned.And it would more than likely only be three magazines for the SS dude plus the one in his gun something around 45 or 50 rounds.Look at a cop the next time you see one on the street most times they only have 3 mags on them one in the gun and two spares maybe 3 more inside their car and if they have an AR perhaps 2 or 3 mags for that but many only have one spare mag for their rifle if they even have one.The SS guys most likely just request the aid of local law enforcement if they expect to have a problem anyway.

Anyone who thinks that the US stores/stored all of its nuclear weapons in just one place is wrong. Further more nuclear warheads will not go off simply because an explosion occurred near them or because they are burning that would set off the regular explosives but the nuclear reaction is only caused by a very precisely timed sequence of the explosives.

You can believe what you want I suppose.
