I picked Nov. 19 for several reasons, in no specific order:
1.) it's my birthday
2.) it doesn't conflict with any holidays
3.) it's after the opening of hunting season, so any ammo sales couldn't be brushed off as the typical seasonal "pre-hunting" sales bump
4.) it's likewise before Thanksgiving because after Thanksgiving, it's all Christmas Christmas Christmas.

Just as a reminder, I get no financial benefit from this: my wife has pointed out that I could have bought a new rifle or two for what it has cost me so far.

Thanks for all the support -- tell your friends & family, and let's stick it to the gun-grabbers both local (eg. Schumer) and international (eg. the United Nations).

This is not going to go away: I intend to make it an annual event, and keep doing it as long as I possibly can.

P.S. To the NRA: thanks for nothing.

Your childish comment made my decision not to participate in your ammo day.
