"Why is the agency that provides benefits to retirees, disabled workers, widows and children stockpiling ammunition? Whom are they going to use it on?" ...
"The clamor became such a distraction for the agency that it dedicated a website to explaining the purchase. The explanation, it turns out, isn't as tantalizing as an arms buildup to defend against unruly senior citizens."

".....that it was purchasing 174,000 hollow-point bullets." A bullet is only one part of a cartridge. It requires a primer, gun powder and a cartridge case and a bullet seated in the cartridge case to make AMMUNITION. Without those other components a bullet is nothing more than a rock. "The path to enlightment begins by calling things by their proper names." Please don't try to discuss an issue you apparently know very little about.
