WTF?

I mean really:
The Department of Homeland Security has placed an order for 200million rounds
of pistol ammunition (.40 caliber, hollow-point) overthe next five years for
use by its Immigration, Customs and Enforcementdivision.
Let's see now, ICE hasapproximately 15,000 employees. Not all of them are
licensed to carryfirearms, but just to keep the math simple, we'll divide the
wholeshebang into 200 million. That works out to a little over 13,000 roundsper
employee over five years, or approximately 2,600 per employee peryear.
Now, in case the entire population of Mexico tries tocross the border over the
next five years, this would be enough toshoot everybody twice; however, this
event seems unlikely, and wouldrepresent a pretty harsh response, anyway.
Somebody, anybody, please explain.
