Would this stockpiling make sense if we're receiving attack from outer space?

We first heard about it some months back that Social Security was buying 174,000 rounds of ammunition. Then it was the Post Office turn to buy. And then NOAA's turn.

Why do the bullets have to be hollow point? Even police officers fear that type of ammunition.

What makes everything more odd is fact that U.S. government is stockpiling these agencies--and probably others, except that media just doesn't care to follow on these reports--and then all of a sudden the Obama administration decides to place urgent gun regulations.

Only thing which comes to my mind is that the government might be expecting some "otherworldly" invasion and figures the public might hurt themselves in their crude efforts to combat those "beings", so it's best to take as much of the public's weapons away as possible????

You are probably right. I am sure that NOAA and SSA workers are all trained in alien combat.
Which is all very well, but it makes more sense to me that every US citizen - every Earth citizen, for that matter - should be armed and ready.
