Excellent Graphic chart at website.

Note to self:

Go buy more ammo.

(I always have a few hundred extra rounds. I should keep thousands though, huh.)

[Dick Vomer]

with guns and ammo, I’ve always found I can get the other stuff if I needed to. To be clear to others before I get flamed, I have food, medical supplies (the knowledge to use the supplies) water and a bug out piece of property.....but if the S really hit the fan I’d rather have lead than gold...10/10 times.

“.....he recently purchased 2,000 rounds of 223 ammunition...”

Lightweight. LOL

[umgud]

Don’t forget that lead and gold have entirely different delivery mechanisms.

It’s often said. The three most Precious Metals are...

Gold
Silver
Lead

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I tell my wife all the time when expending cash on ammo and boom sticks; They are assets. Usable assets that can be converted back to cash at any time if not needed for defense and hunting.

This has been my argument against buying gold and silver in a SHTF crisis. Guns, ammo, and many other survival things have risen much less. Better allocation of my dollars to cheaper things that will have more utility.

As Victor David Hanson wrote, civilization is retreating from America, it might be wise to have a load of ammo.

[Larry Lucido]

Are Guns and Roses the new Led and Zeppelin?

I’m sorry but the question makes just about as much sense. Things are what they are, and don’t become the “new” anything despite the ponderings of a retarded blogger.

[Eagles6]

Lead and brass to protect the gold and silver.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Other great bartering items:

1) Liquor
2) Aspirin
3) canned goods
4) cigarettes
5) bug spray
6) soap
7) a can opener
8) candles
9) batteries
10) everyone’s major need-—Toilet paper

(Buy Lots Of Ammo Today)

[Mr. K]

also salt, toilet paper, and medical supplies (hydrogen peroxide is cheap at the dollar store and I use it in my laundry too)

[real saxophonist]

Cor-Bon DPX is almost as difficult to find as Silver Eagles. And just about as expensive.

[DTogo]

That is a very informative graph at the website!

[tickedoffnow]

Damn, I’m finally rich!

[CGalen]

It is much more likely that the government will outlaw guns and ammo rather than gold.

In a SHTF situation, the government will clamp down severely using powers of the Patriot Act, FEMA, the National Guard, and executive orders from the President.

We are only 1 vote, 1 Supreme Court Justice appointment, away on the Supreme Court to have it ruled that American citizens do not have any individual right to bear arms.

Whoever is elected President in 2012 will appoint at least 2 judges, and will thus ultimately decide if Americans are allowed to possess guns.
