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....
They'll hold them at bay until they can get to the gas, eh?
