How many rounds do you need? Every time there is an issue about the 2nd, ammo costs go out the roof. Everybody starts trying to buy 1,000 rounds and supply cannot meet the demand. I'm not saying limit the amount of ammo someone can buy, but why do you need 10,000 rounds of ammo?

If the shite hits the fan one of two things are going to happen. IMHO. One, you are going to die well before you can fire off 1,000 or 10,000 rounds. Two, if you are still alive after that many rounds you've killed enough people to scrounge their rounds and guns that you have ample ammo and weapons to fight off the next wave.

I've only got a box of long riffle ammo and a few boxes of shotgun ammo but if I need more than that im probably already dead.

What does 10,000 rounds buy you when you've either killed enough to replenish you stash or you're a crap shot and you're dead?

Well, if you are alive, ammo would make for an amazing commodity to trade. Probably could buy pretty much anything with ammunition.

You need to discuss this with your local unorganized militia.

Do you only have bolt-action rifles and hunting shotguns? shite, my brothers and I go through at least 600 rounds of .22lr, .223 and assorted pistol ammo every time we go shooting. Really, it's probably closer to a thousand assorted rounds.

I love laughing at the people that feel the need to have 1 bazzilion rounds of ammo. They are the same ones that talk about the "us vs them" when "shite hits the fan"


More power to them to buy as much as they want imho. Go ahead and stimulate the economy mr bad arse

I am not that active in shooting, but probably go through 2000 rounds of handgun ammo every year. Since I know I will eventually need use it, it makes sense to buy ammo in bulk when available at a good price, or if you think the price will be higher in the future.

Is there any distinction in your question regarding the caliber? A case of most pistol ammo is 1000 rounds while .22lr comes in 5000.

No amount is never enough. It's amazing to me that there is a shortage of .22 bullets

As much as I want to buy. Its well within my rights to purchase any amount I desire.

Plus, in case of a SHTF scenorio, ammo is gonna be like gold. It will be a powerful bartering product.

Its about survival. The masses are weaklings and won't last long. Its in my blood to fight and survive. Many don't have that mentality, people like that are weak.

Perhaps you have never been in a situation where your life has been in danger. If you have, your instinct for survival will kick in.

Bc people are fearful that the push will lead to limits on the amount of ammo that you can buy in the future... Its not a dooms day prep, its a supply/demand prep.

btw, have you ever gone range shooting? Its not uncommon for people on a weekend shoot to go through thousands of rounds of ammo.

If you are an avid shooter who goes to the range or whatnot weekly/monthly, the smart play is to hedge your investment.

Not about need.
You're an idiot.
You suck at trolling.
Cry more.
