It sounds like people have this idea that theres going to be a frontline where all the gun owners have amassed in the great big showdown and gun owners are
Passing mags down the line.
It would more than likely be one house at a time, televised, everyone watching as another "nutjob" gets taken out by SWAT and the Feds. No one is coming to his rescue, just a bunch of onlookers watching it go down, glad its not them. Then we hear the perp had amassed a "cache" of weapons and ammo. Thousands of rounds, they say. He was a one man army others say!
The "frontline" is on the internet and television. They're winning the hearts and minds of the sheep while their opponents are legislated into nutjob felons and portrayed en masse as paranoid and mentally incapacitated. Making YOUR rights ILLEGAL to stand and fight for. Due process gone. Now a member of Americas ghost population, the felon, the non member of society.
I like to think differently. I like to think that once people start seeing seizures like this and they are knocking door to door that we will stand up with each other. One man standing on his own cannot do much. Many men standing together can accomplish anything. I hope it never needs to be a "front line" issue. I hope we will stand for each other.It sounds like people have this idea that theres going to be a frontline where all the gun owners have amassed in the great big showdown and gun owners are

Wow makes me feel inadequate when I see 100,000 rounds and thousands of copies of catcher in the rye. You better hope that does not become a question on the gun form about how many copies of catcher in the rye you own. Lol
Enough to get you to the range once a month and enough to get you through the first fire fight. If you survive, replenish your supply with the enemies weapons, ammo and gear.
Its not going to do others good while you sit on a throne made of ammo.
You can only load so fast and you can only carry so much.
Tell me, which is worse? Those hoarding or those capitalizing for financial gain. In each case, they're keeping ammo out of the hands of others who could potentially have their back. While I think the panic HAS sent a message, its been a sloppy and mismanaged one.
pretty narrow point of view really. im a hoarder by nature. not just ammo, but parts, fuel, anything i can use. of course i have to have limits to this.
growing up on the farm, you didnt always know what the winter would bring, or if the next crop would be good. so we planned and prepped. you cant really start being prepared when youre at a time when you need to use your supplies. being snowed in for 3 weeks with zero outside contact puts prepping into REAL WORLD terms.
ever go to the range? a thousand rounds can go REAL fast and its gone. do that in a time like now and you wont see the range again for another 6 months.
FURTHER, if i ever have a personal SHTF, lost a job, med bills, etc, im sitting on a savings plan, that right now, would have better yields than amazon stock and am able to live comforatably without sucking on YOUR tax teat.
are you gonna tell me what an acceptable level of food, water, and gasoline to stock for winter? is me having livestock now considered an unaccepdtable level of hording
