I'm still waiting for the 'for sure' collapse that was predicted for the summer of 2010.

Anyway, here's another prediction of collapse.

Not even police are allowed to use hollow points? Sorry but a lot of police departments use hollow points. In fact some departments require the use of hollow points because they’re more likely to break apart in case of misses and don’t ricochet as much.

“Not even police officers are allowed to use hollow points.”

Wrong.

I’ve been listening to guys like Porter Stansberry say this since 2009.

Not sure what to think because usually those pushing these predictions are trying to sell me something.

I would be more confident if the scumbags in Washington weren’t undermining the Middle Class and our Nations security at every turn and its not like we can trust the Media to be honest about ANYTHING.

Ammunition is readily available and prices have come down, almost to pre panic levels.

The collapse began in 2010. We just haven’t hit the bottom yet.

The value of the dollar is 5% what it was when the Federal Reserve was founded in 1913. Prior to that the US currency tended to appreciate in value and was a reliable way to store and preserve wealth.

I like to consider the current value of the dollar by reversing the way I think of prices. Last year the dollar was worth 1/3 of a pound of ground beef, now it’s worth 1/5 of a pound. A dollar is worth about 1/4 of a gallon of gas now and diminishing rapidly.

It’s a good thing all these predictions of collapse are just hogwash.

I’m looking for it before January of 2017 is out. I notice that history repeats, but never identically. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Obama Golfs while the US utterly collapses.

It is as clear as day. It’s why I changed my tag line.

"They expect the dollar to implode"

I talk to new people every day in my job, and they are saying " I would not have said this 4 years ago but they don't trust this administration."

So as far as 'forces' who would collapse the dollar isn't that what Soros did to the UK ?

There is a difference between ordering ammunition and owning ammunition. The FedMob has ordered a lot of ammunition. Even if they had all the ammunition they have ordered in their possession it would still be dwarfed by the amount of ammunition in private hands.

“Hollow-point rounds are deadly.”

No kidding. And solid-points bullets aren’t deadly?

Bullets are supposed to be deadly. Key-rist.

“They go into flesh and tissue the size of the bullet but spread out on impact.”

Exactly. Perfect for urban shooting where the bullet stops when it hits its target and doesn’t just pass through the target and hit someone else. Key-rist. . .

“They’re not for target shooting.”

They are not wad-cutters but they can be used for target shooting. Key-rist.

“Not even police officers are allowed to use hollow points.”

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. It is LOAC that prohibits the military from using hollow-points. PDs usually use hollow points because they stop when they hit the target. Key-rist.

Got that far in the article.

So much ignorance so quickly.

Maybe the article has ‘solid’ points, but insultingly ignorant statements at the opening just destroys any credibility of the writer.

lets think about this ammo idea...the population is 330 million, even if the government had 10x330,000,000=3300 million rounds of ammo, given 10 bullets for every one population....there isn’t enough guns to fire all those bullets, let along people to fire the guns...even if the government used automatic weapons, history demonstrates that machine guns can’t kill everyone....with a starving population, nothing is going to stop the human mass attacks on stores and government buildings....simply can’t kill enough people with bullets...poison gas is a different matter....
