[null and void]

Get one of each and you will be able to salvage rounds from fallen bad guys.

"Best" mix in my admittedly humble opinion for scavengable availability is 7.62 NATO, .223 NATO, .45 ACP, 9 mm, and of course the ubiquitous .22LR.

The mix changes based on the most likely opponent of course...

...but factors in the more than a billion rounds recently procured by the physically closest.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008

They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

Weren’t billions of rounds purchased by the USPS? I mean the Post Office?

You couldn’t readily get .22lr Ammo for 4-5 years. I, like many, bought and hoarding it when I could. Primers were real hard to get too for a long while. I’d go in with people to buy case lots when I could.

The Trump administration should surplus all the bogus ammo Obama bought, back out to the general public. Monies to go to build the friggin wall.
