Where are all the guns and ammo purchased under Obama?

These groups keep showing up in our archives. Now that President Trump has declared Antifa a terrorist organization, it’s time to track them all down and lock them up in their thousands. Guantanamo Bay is currently pretty empty, and it is on their beloved Cuba....
[AmericanThinker] During the last two years of the Obama administration, some unusual purchases were made. Large quantities of ammunition were purchased, as were firearms, mostly for somewhat obscure agencies or agencies with no real need for such weaponry. Estimates are that over 1 billion rounds of ammunition were ordered, which resulted in making ammunition scarce for the normal civilian market.

Also significant was Obama's troublesome statement made during his campaign, as follows

We cannot continue to rely only on our military ... we've got to have a civilian security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.

#3  Oh, some drone in charge of supply likely has them locked up in a secure storage somewhere. It's his job. But issue them?
"Yeah, I've got one. If I give it to you I won't have one."

#2  The funding and contracts were let, delivery likely went elsewhere. For additional details, please see operation 'Fast & Furious' or events in Benghazi, or the Obama 'Iranian deal' pallets of cash delivered by unmarked aircraft in the hours of darkness.
