Why November 19?
There is really no particular reason November 19 was chosen. It did not conflict with any other Holiday or event on the U.S. calendar.

However, we would me remiss if we did not mention that November 19 is the birthday of Kim du Toit. Kim couldn't think of a nicer way to celebrate his birthday than it helping send a signal about how the value of the Second Amendment and our ammunition manufacturing industry. And, if we make our target of 5 BILLION rounds sold, his birthday wish will come true.

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.

Kim du Toit
P.S. To the NRA: thanks for nothing.
