I'm kinda hoping for a *huge* all-American gunfight between *all* the

private citizen ammo hoarders, one that lasts until the last round is

fired. It'll be loud, flashy, and it'll improve the gene pool.

Wow Harry, I didn't think that you of all people would endorse needless bloodshed...

I'm not convinced that getting rid of ammo hoarders would be

"needless..."

You say you have a 'few boxes' so is than not 'hording' I mean, where's the line? If low enough, you'd go too, Harry...

The current round of "hording" ammo started due to concerns that
political pressures would restrict both gun ownership and ammo
availability. Then the closure of the only lead smelting plant in the
US in 2010 led many to erroneously believe that lead would no longer be
available for ammunition manufacturing. This is not true. Virtually
*all* the lead used for ammo is from recycled supplies ranging from
automotive wheel weights, fishing weights and ballast. There's a
surplus of lead around and the ammo manufacturers won't run out anytime
soon.

I remember when I first started going to the range. I didn't have much
ammo for each gun and would typically shoot up whatever supply I had
knowing I could easily restock. At the height of the current shortage,
I'd buy whatever I could find, so I guess I contributed to the hoarding.
It seems to be easing now. The shelves at my favorite gun shop are
getting full again and quantity restrictions on some calipers have ended.

I don't "stock up" on ammo. Don't use it.
Had an uncle that would stock up his favorite beer when it went on sale.
