text: I voted yes on the Meadows of NC Amendment to H R 2217, which prohibits the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from entering into new contracts for ammunition purchases until it submits a report required by the underlying bill on the purchase and use of ammunition by the Department. DHS has reportedly purchased as many as 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the last year, with even more purchases planned. The American people and Members of Congress rightfully have questions about these purchases, and it's appropriate to halt new contracts until these questions are answered. It passed 234-192.
