Opinion | It’s not the guns, it’s the ammunition
HARTFORD COURANT ^ | NOV 05, 2019 | RON BERLER

Posted on 11/06/2019 4:57:23 PM PST by IndispensableDestiny

Today, one can walk into a gun shop and purchase, for instance, a .22, .38 or .44-caliber handgun. Most firearms are built to accommodate one size round only. Here’s what would happen if the manufacture of today’s standard-size rounds were outlawed, and .21, .37, or .43-caliber rounds took their place: Eventually, gun owners would run out of the old ammo, and their weapons would become paperweights.

True. My next door neighbor who is an obsessive hoarder has 40k rounds in storage. 20k of 22. I asked why so many 22? For barter he says after the fall. He thinks 22s will be the replacement currency.

Considering American history, if the American government has nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear from an armed citizenry.

Wait until he hears that .357 and .38 are the same. Mind blown!

Shhhhh. Don't tell these fools that we can practice using our 357 Magnums loaded with less expensive 38 Spl.

I normally shoot two loads of 357 and then switch to a box or two of 38s.

My grand daughter loves to shoot my pistols and is very good.

She started shooting a 22 at age 8 and is now a high school senior and still loves to visit us and go out shooting with old gramps {not as much as I love having her visit with us}.

All of my kids/grand kids are shooters and I give them NRA memberships for gifts.

Better Idea. Inject 10% fentynal in all the drugs they are using.

Look...I live in California where you have to fill out forms and be tracked to buy ammo. This is it. This is the battle. We must buy American made ammo fast to help the companies. Geez. Double up folks.

Heaven help me I only have one front tooth. My ex probably keeps the other on a chain around her neck.

Did I just self-identify? S**t!

Hand loading, screw the left. Just like making a lower on a CNC machine or finishing and 80%er.

Screw the left.

Having a RIGHT means I will never have to ask permission from any of those morons.

They have a lot to hide, that’s why they are so fearful.

I have to finish this.

Do the idiots who write this crap understand that brass cases can be reused over and over again and that bullets can be made from tire weights?

What every BS you toss out we will find a work around almost instantly.

Quite a few people think ammo would be a barter item if/when the SHTF.

Let the ignorance sit right there. It's good to know the enemy is delusional as they are still very dangerous.

Typical meathead. Knows nothing about a subject, but is convinced he knows more than people who have studied the subject for decades.

It is amazing to me how many people such as this are out there.

It was INSANE, IGNORANT, FOOLISHNESS like that DUNCE’s “bright idea” that spawned the 9x21mm & 9x23mm Auto pistol rounds, when several nations OUTLAWED the 9mm Luger ammo as a “weapon of war”.

Surprise, surprise, BOTH pistol cartridges are SUPERIOR in every way to 9mm Luger & “conversion” required NOTHING more than hand-reaming the chamber for the NEW & LEGAL cartridge.

Fwiw, the more that I learn about LEFTIST DIMocRATS, the better that I like mosquitos, ticks, roaches & venomous spiders.

Yours, TMN78247

Yes. My next door neighbor has 40k of rounds. A large percentage is 22. He sees them as barter.
