There is no shortage of ammo manufacturers willing to suck on the government's teat for five years. So you think it's stupid for citizens to stockpile ammo? How many cases are you storing? |

Why? Because it's based on hysteria and only serves to create shortages and drive the price of ammo up. That said though, I also would not favor new laws restricting the amount of ammo a private citizen can buy. If the preppers and fanatics want to blow their money on ammo, it's their right. Eventually, it will pass. Realistically, the chances of needing a gun for personal/home defense is very small and statistics prove that without a doubt. But, there's always the possibility and I believe having a gun and knowing how to use it to protect yourself or your family is prudent and responsible. I also respect the opinion of those who don't want the responsibility or just don't like guns. I never wanted one around when we had kids in the house. But, now that I am older and the kids are on their own, I felt it was an appropriate time to get a permit and gun. Since then, I've discovered that I enjoy going to the range with some friends once a week or so and becoming more proficient with shooting. The bulk of ammo used by private citizens are for hobby shooting at a range or for hunting. A massive stockpile of ammo isn't needed those activities or hobbies. This shortage will pass once the hysteria being promoted by the ultra-right media dies down. |

This shortage will pass once the hysteria being promoted by the ultra-right media dies down. I have enough ammo on hand for a few trips to a nearby outdoor range as soon as the weather warms up. I don't like shooting outdoors in the cold, and lately I've only been going to the indoor range about twice a month. I much prefer outdoor ranges. Typically, at the range, I'll shoot two boxes or 100 rounds of ball ammo 9mm, two boxes or 200 rounds of .22LR in my pistol, and two boxes or 200 rounds of .22LR in my rifle. I use inexpensive but clean ammo for practicing at the range. I like Sellier and Bellot and CCI. I keep a 9mm mag full of hollow point at home for defensive purposes, plus my 12 gauge. |

The only ones I see here obsessing about guns are JPS and Harry, two radical left wingers. |

It's not just the right wing media that's a problem however - the mainstream media is full of stories about "huge ammunition caches of 1700 rounds" and that sort of thing. To a serious target shooter 1700 rounds is about a two or three week supply, maybe less, and they are probably buying in case lots. And then we have "our president" going on mainstream media making emotional appeals for more and more controls. It's not rocket science or paranoia to deduce that he'd really like to ban privately owned guns and ammo altogether. |
