The SSA actually has a blog and they referenced the concerns over this.

Sounds pretty "whatever".

This is kinda the meat of it I guess...

"As we said in a recent post, our office has criminal investigators, or special agents, who are responsible for investigating violations of the laws that govern SSA’s programs. Currently, about 295 special agents and supervisory special agents work in 66 offices across the United States. These investigators have full law enforcement authority, including executing search warrants and making arrests."

That link did teach me that the SSA has its own armed officers. cn

Me too.

That's only 590ish rounds per officer too. Doesn't sound extreme at all.

Pretty typical, a whole lot about nothing.

huh huh...

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

The SSA is a federal government institution. What possible reason could they have for all that ammo? Target practice?

Our government is wasting money like never before and doing things that are frightening and you are just blase about it... It pisses me off...

I may be blasé abou it, shit why should I care? Their officers need bullets. . You are the one saying its definitely for something with no knowledge of what it's actually for. All I said was we don't know why, you shouldn't jump to nefarious conclusions.

But you do, and then rail on someone for not believing like you.
