I personally don't need "10,000 rounds of ammo". But then again, I guess I don't need 6 cans of corn in my pantry. But I have it. Is there gonna be a run on corn if a farm bill gets signed, probably not...but I still have my stock available to me.
Your statements regarding people using the 10K rounds to kill others are disturbing. If I wanted that many rounds I should be able to buy/stock that many rounds. There are currently no laws against what I have in my ownership.
It's quite simple. When the government starts talking production issues, people get scared. So they go basically become hoarders. There is never "enough" of certain things depending on your lifestyle. Some women like purses, some women like shoes. Some people have the desire to have ammo quantity on hand in case production stops. I know, I know..production of ammo will never stop, right? Well, I'm not necessarily hitting the "I believe" button on that either, nor am I holding that much ammo.
Not to mention the simplest reason: Bulk ammo sometimes has some GREAT prices when it's on sale!

Because you enjoy shooting? My wife goes thru 500-1000 rounds every week. When we can get away and go shooting together, we may go thru 4-5000 rounds of various calibers in a weekend. I wonder why people need $60000 boats, $1M houses, watch basketball or hockey, but hey, to each his own. We enjoy going out and spending relaxing time together shooting, is that really a problem?

How many rounds do you need?
What does that have to do with the Second Amendment? The 2A is part of a Bill of Rights, not a bill of needs.
No justification is needed.
It's like asking a newspaper "how many pages do you need?"

Why are you talking about buying ammo like there is going to be a zombie apocalypse?
Maybe people like shooting guns and want to stock up on a ton of ammo before they won't be able to anymore.

I can go through a bunch of rounds pretty quickly. To have all my magazines loaded (which is how I store them) it takes over 2,000 rounds (.308, 9mm, 5.56, .22, others), if I just go to the range, shoot what I have and reload there goes 2,000 rounds.
So I can totally see where 10,000 rounds are a drop in the bucket. Hell, I have probably 1,000 rounds or more of shotgun ammo and that is just for duck hunting.
Any idea how many hunting days it would take me to shoot 1,000 rounds?

The original post and the three pages discussing it as if these are legitimate questions are the perfect example of the unique brand of crazy that keeps me coming back to this place. Sometimes the things you guys discuss are so hilarious it is just impossible to resist.

As many as I want to buy. I'm no felon. I have a right.
