This tilted me towards the 9mm pistol and .223 rifle. I’ll likely always be able to scrounge some .223, much harder to scrounge up 7.62x39.

Exactly the point I was going to make! Right now, ammo is available most places, but in a real SHTF scenario, the supplies will be locked up tighter than tupperware. Once you run thru your cache you have two choices: roll over and die or live off the enemy. That's why I have stuck with NATO standard weapons and ammo. Of course I included many of the former NATO standard for our military from when I was active (45ACP). I have at least 1000 rds per caliber that I own of high quality go to war combat ammo. This is distinct from the shooting supplies that I keep on hand and continually use for practice. I even stocked up on a couple thousand rounds of the old 45 Winchester Back Talon on the theory that nothing is too good for the enemies of freedom. My biggest worry is that if things go too off the chain in a post election meltdown of anger, that some tepid soul will holler for UN Peace Keepers to be invited in to restore order and democracy.

If that happens we're toast. We'll never be rid of them before they mangle the nation to the degree that it becomes unrecognizable as the USA as we know it now.

I wouldn’t lose sleep over that. They’d refuse the job....”behind every blade of grass there would be a gun.” They’d get the job done by having our own elected officials turn against us.
