I’ll play along.

What other impositions would you, a random internet stranger, like to place upon other free Americans regarding how to legally and lawfully and spend their earned money?

Regarding “need”, I summarized that a few posts ago. Try to keep up. Maybe someone needs to sight in a new scope they got for Christmas. Maybe they have a vermin problem that’s disrupting their crops or property and would like to address it. Maybe they received some new mags as a gift and would like to have them topped off. Those are all valid, lawful, and constructive ways to satisfy a need for more ammo.

And before you start raging about capitalism, I agree with you. If you want to overpay for ammo and then flex about overpaying for ammo, I won't stop you.

I know you won’t stop me. You can’t. That’s the beauty of being a law-abiding citizen of the greatest country ever conceived.

In reality, you probably could whip my arse. I’m older, not very big, never been formally trained in any sort of fighting discipline.

But your statement “I won’t stop you” is a little inaccurate. You can’t. You couldn’t. I doubt you’d even try. Even against an aging guy like myself.

So it’s not that you won’t, it’s more like you wouldn’t.

And it wasn’t a flex. I acknowledged it was not the best deal around, nor was it the worst. Try to keep up.

Oh, because you said:

which would imply that you’re questioning why a person needs 200 rounds.

So I asked why you would need a car capable of driving faster than any posted speed limit.

Or why you need a big truck capable of taking thousands of pounds but you never haul anything like a trailer or boat.

So I’m trying to figure out where or how you became the arbiter of what any free American “needs.”

You still haven’t answered, which sort of tells me everything I need to know.

I hope you have a great rest of your night. You’d probably find more peace in life if you didn’t try to project what you think is “cool” or “appropriate” onto others. Aren’t we all a little different, and isn’t that a good thing? I don’t think I’d like to live in a world where I have to conform to what strangers think should be the preferred course of action.

And my point remains. You’d keep your hands in your pockets and your mouth shut if you saw me buying ammo. Not because I’m that much of a bad arse, but because you probably aren’t.

Good night.

that is an inaccurate analogy so not getting a response.

Now if you had a car and you needed 1000 gallons of fuel per year yet you found a way to store and hoard 20000 gallons and kept looking for more. That would be an accurate analogy and as dumb as hoarding ammo.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...its not a woodcock.

Because people are making the rounds buying up every round made normal people cant go out and buy a box of 7mm08 or .270 to take to the camp and shoot a few deer.

You keep telling yourself that the 1000s upon 1000s of rounds stored are needed.

You keep referencing this, I dont understand.

Why does what I (or anyone) buy trigger you so much?

Because it is stupid, and because it means I cant find a box of bullets. And I dont want to spend my time looking for them, researching them, I just want the goofs that think they are preparing for what ever to take a damn break and stop buying every bullet that hits the shelves.

So you rather spend your time complaining on the internet. Got it.

Yes. Are you going to tell me how I am trying to prevent you from a lawful transaction as well.

Yall keep hoarding.

Why are there so many cry babies about getting called out for waiting in lines to panic buy shitty, overpriced ammo?

People who shoot for sport didn't cause this, but we're all keeping it going by acting like idiots.

I don't care if that hurts anyone's feelings or if you continue to rage downvote because you know it's the truth.

There was no line at either place. I drove from one to the other.

You really are one giant, soggy pussy.
