Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). Rep. Chaffetz said during Thursday’s hearing that the DHS uses roughly 1,000 rounds of ammo more per person that the US Army does and asked for these orders to be cut. According to Chaffetz’s numbers, the DHS currently has more than 260 million rounds of ammo in stock, and the agency purchased roughly 13 million rounds of ammunition in 2012 that were never used. In 2012, the DHS bought more than 103 million rounds for its 70,000 agents licensed to carry a firearm, averaging between 1,300 and 1,600 rounds per officer. The US Army, said Chaffetz, only uses around 350 rounds per soldier. The DHS, on the other hand, uses "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person." "Their officers use what seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," Chaffetz said of the DHS. Days earlier in Washington, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano gave numbers that conflict the latest estimate of DHS ammo buys. While Thursday’s hearing produced a number of around 103 million rounds ordered annually, Sec. Napolitano previously said that figure was roughly 150 million per year. “When the secretary of Homeland Security says it’s 150 million rounds, and it’s off by tens of millions of rounds — who’s minding the store?” Rep. Chaffetz asked during Thursday’s hearing. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California) chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform Committee and said he was unsatisfied with the statistics as well. "The idea that you have to have excess rounds, year after year, flies in the face of common sense," he said. rt.com/usa/army-million-rounds-dhs-472/
