Shown here are Federal Premium hollow point bullets.APRepublican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
mocrats -- have been lobbying the federal
government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online
sales.The issue is getting bigger for states as more people make purchases
online. Last year, Internet sales in the U.S. totaled $226 billion, up
nearly 16 percent from the previous year, according to Commerce Department
estimates.The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that states
lost $23 billion last year because they couldn't collect taxes on out-of-state
sales. Daugaard estimates that South Dakota loses $48 million to $58 million
a year, important revenue for a state that doesn't have an income
tax.The main opposition in the Senate is coming from three states that
have no sales taxes: New Hampshire, Montana and Oregon. Delaware doesn't
have a sales tax, either, but both Delaware senators have voted to
advance the bill."We don't like the idea of other states auditing our
businesses," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. "They don't like the idea of
being subject to both bureaucrats and potential legal action."The Associated
Press contributed to this report.

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ocrats, it's a precarious position to be in.
Democratic senators overwhelmingly support gay marriage -- all but three
are now on the record voicing their support -- and two dozen
of them this year backed a separate bill called the Uniting American
Families Act to let gays sponsor their partners independent of a comprehensive
immigration overhaul.But the party's senators are still bruised from an
agonizing defeat on gun control this month. And few seem eager to
inject divisive issues that might sink their best prospects for a major
legislative victory this year and a potential keystone of President Barack
Obama's legacy."Any amendment which might sink the immigration bill, I would
worry about," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said in a brief interview, adding
that he had yet to decide whether an amendment for gays and
lesbians would meet that yardstick.Support from both Hispanics and gays
was critical to Obama's re-election, and his overwhelming advantage among
Hispanics was a major factor prompting Republicans to warm to immigration
overhaul almost immediately after. But now, one community's gain on the
immigration front could be to the other's detriment."As you continue to
add other issues to the immigration discussion, it's going to make it
more challenging," said Sen. John Hoeven, a North Dakota Republican.Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has committed to
offering an amendment to the bill to allow gay citize
fired for mistreating his players and mocking them with gay slurs.If two
women dance together at a club or walk arm-in-arm down the street,
people are usually less likely to question it though
some wonder if that has more to do with a lack of
awareness than acceptance."Lesbians are so invisible in our society. And
so I think the hatred is more invisible," says Laura Grimes, a
licensed clinical social worker in Chicago whose counseling practice caters
to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients.Grimes says she also frequently
hears from lesbians who are harassed for "looking like dykes," meaning that
people are less accepting if they look more masculine.Still, Ian O'Brien,
a gay man in Washington, D.C., sees more room for women "to
transcend what femininity looks like, or at least negotiate that space a
little bit more."O'Brien, who's 23, recently wrote an opinion piece tied
to the Boy Scout debate and his own experience in the Scouts
when he was growing up in the San Diego area."To put it
simply: Being a boy is supposed to look one way, and you
get punished when it doesn't," O'Brien wrote in the piece, which appeared
in The Advocate, a national magazine for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender communities.Joey Carrillo, a gay student at Elmhurst College
in suburban Chicago, remembers trying to be as masculine as possible in
high school. He hid the fact that he was gay, particularly around
other athletes. As a wrestler,
