Why are you worried about it?
Well, in very simple terms, you can never have "too much" when it comes to ammo.
Do the math. How many airports does DHS have armed guards at? 700? 7000? How many firing ranges does DHS run - 10, 100, 1000? How many rounds do they go through a day? Then factor in ports they have to protect, the police force - seems they investigate cyber crimes and what not as well - plus they have officers abroad - and of course Customs and the Border Patrol. DHS also includes the Federal Protective Service. The Federal Protective Service has fifteen thousand armed guards alone.
DHS has 240k employees - most of which are armed. They need ammo.
