Reading some of the responses here makes me sad and ashamed.
It is a FACT that the government has purchased 2 billion rounds of ammunition in a little over 1 year.
It is a FACT that some of these were hollow point rounds which are good for only 1 thing and that thing is not target practice.
It is a FACT that the DHS has requested the order of the non-traditional paper targets and that those targets depict average American gun owners in residential settings. I mean come on, targets of elderly, pregnant, and young women and/or children is totally inexcusable and unacceptable.
It is a FACT that in response the MSM has gone into damage control trying to make what she said seem like a joke and pulling much the same tactics as some people here (demonizing the person and making the message seem unimportant).
Who am I to try and point out that which should be obvious?

If you seriously believe this , then perhaps they should shoot you .
Scary to even think people like her. Mental instability all around and you wonder why they want tighter gun laws?
Sad reflection of americans. No different to islamic extremist .
All those targets are also depictions of people pointing guns at the shooter. Do you think that officers should be taught to take a bullet because the shooter is white, middle class, young, old, pregnant??
Apparently someone who does not actually know what he is talking about - and hence perfectly suited to be in the screaming classes here on ATS!

Quoting multuiple shonky news sites that all repeat the same disinfo doesn't actually make your point any less wrong.
The FACTS are in the documents themselves - such as this one (4.7mb pdf)- not with the spin given to them by people whith a vested interest in not telling the truth.

Sarah Palin is a moron, and has no idea what she's talking about. Faux News fired her for heaven's sake!

Sarah Palin's recent comments on Facebook about the issue of US government stockpiling ammunition in response to the economic collapse they know is coming has forced the issue of what the Government is really up to out into the mainstream news. News outlets Poltico and AtlanticWite have felt the need to respond and deflect.
While government agencies are, in fact, purchasing large amounts of ammunition, they are doing so for training exercises and shooting ranges, according to federal officials. The Washington Post last month summed up the Department of Homeland Security’s buying of more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition for training with an article headlined, “Not so sinister: Homeland Security is stockpiling ammo for target practice.”

The US govt has purchased enough ammunition to wage full-scale war for 20-30 years. All purchased over the last year and all designated for domestic use.
Hollow point bullets are not for target practice...

Obama has 4,500 cyber-warriors which are infiltrating forums, and social media sites. If we split this number 500 ways, that means 9 agents a piece.

Can you post the source for this claim? I seriously doubt that he would publish such a statistic, and if it doesn't come from him, I would seriously question the validity of such a claim.
I can't imagine a government trying to maintain order amidst an economic collapse of a magnitude requiring such drastic measures would last long enough to use much of the ammo unless they all plan on working for free.

That is EXACTLY my point. Every one of these supposed "sources" are from anonymous or unconfirmed sources. I don't consider blogs or other threads, without reputable sources, to be a source at all. This is the problem with so many of the posts on conspiracy threads. They merely repeat other unconfirmed sources, and pretty soon, they are repeated so many times that .....well, you know,....the old saying:
If you repeat something often enough, people begin to believe it.
