I shoot handguns at a range occasionally so I understand why people stockpile ammo for that purpose, but doing it for use in some type of breakdown of society, and civil unrest is a exercise futilely. The vast majority of those doing this have little to no actual survival skills, they know nothing about long term food storage, survival medicine/ first aid, water purification, much less proper sanitation, which is critical to avoid disease, if you plan to kill people you better know how to properly dispose of a body. Having a bunch of ammo, and some MREs may buy them a couple of weeks, but after that they will probably only need a single round of ammo, for themselves.

Why do people need so much ammo in the world we live in?

People don't stockpile ammo for the we live in presently, but the world that would exist after a societal break down.
Read "One Second After".
LINK

New York Times best-selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real ... a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages ... A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). A weapon that may already be in the hands of our enemies.

quote:

Months before publication, One Second After has already been cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, a book already being discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a truly realistic look at a weapon and its awesome power to destroy the entire United States, literally within one second. It is a weapon that the Wall Street Journal warns could shatter America. In the tradition of On the Beach, Fail Safe, and Testament, this book, set in a typical American town, is a dire warning of what might be our future ... and our end.

Okay, tough guy. Apparently, you're not very bright. I asked a question and actually got several legitimate answers. But you are not bright enough to answer a simple question obviously.




I did answer a simple question. The simple answer was mind you own damned business.

You tell me pussy. Apparently she won't let you spend your allowance on ammo

Never said you asked me to violate my rights, I just said I don't need to justify my need to exercise my rights to you or anyone. Sorry you can't find ammo for your little pink pocket pistol.

Says the asshat who just bumped this thread from the 2nd or 3rd page, because he just has to get his snarky bullshite comments in about people who aren't doing a damn thing to him, by arming themselves, and being as prepared as they can be for future trouble.

Or find more common sense gun laws to tax them more, effectively. Look at California’s stupid cancer law. Now you can’t buy guns or cartridges in Cali without a warning on them that says they cause cancer... and what in your product causes said cancer...

Stupid stuff like that causes gun and ammo prices to hike because you have to jump through hoops that cost time and money to get your merchandise on the market.

Granted Cali is an outlier, but laws with similar results are in a lot of places. Like, who does that help? Just makes it more expensive for the good guys. Trying to price out people of owning guns is the goal here.

I never knew this.. Either way, its California. And the more laws you put on it only means there will be more people owning guns illegally.

The only thing I was saying is that people buy ammo out of fear and there seems to be a lot of fear from every national politics or social issue that happens today.. And people line up waiting to buy as much ammo as they can.

Right now? Maybe. But they are also buying bread, milk, toilet paper, canned goods, water, ground beef.

Being able to protect and defend yourself is no less essential than being able to feed yourself, or wipe your arse. Anyone characterizing those buying ammo as doing it out of fear, are typically those who oppose arms and ammo as a general rule.
