A few million illegals and leftist nuts might go rogue.

You can have just so much; they have to be fed you know. We have pretty much what we need from a .177 air rifle up to a .300 win mag. and pistols from .22 to .45

You know what is sad is that there are still people out there who will not buy a gun until it is too late, then they will be begging for one.

Or begging for someone to save them because they lived in liberal/feral land and believed that multicultural harmony was attainable.

Guns

Magazines

Ammo

Accessories (holsters etc)

Reloading equipment

Reloading supplies

Repeat at the top

This list is in constant flux, but one can never say that they truly have enough of any one category. I heard of a WW2 vet in central PA who died with 900+ guns scattered throughout his house. I would venture a bet that even he thought ne needed more.

If you think you have enough of any of the above categories, see a doctor. Immediately.

ISIS is coming. Some day a bolt action rifle may be worth its weight in gold. No exaggeration.

Not just guns. Stock up on food, water, and supplies too. I have several Wise Food containers, several totes of canned goods, and several cases of water.

Always go by the PACE method for emergency food:

Primary - What's in your fridge

Alternate - What's in your freezer

Contigency - Canned and packages of non-perishables or with long expiration dates

Emergency - This would be your Wise Foods or My Patriot Supply, or MREs. It would also be hunting in the woods

They know that if Hillary wins she’ll be coming hard for our weaponry. It’ll make her hubby’s ‘94 AWB look weak by comparison. And if Congress won’t pass it, she’ll just EO it. The Hag has been waiting a LONG time to do this.

A lot easier to reload a magazine than sit there trying to load them via reloading equipment. My folks quit counting how many rounds they have but just weigh them. Again, it’s ammunition that counts vs empty guns.

Everyone should have the skills to make their own ammo IMO. It ain’t rocket science, it saves money, and can allow one to be self-sufficient when government actors pass unconstitutional laws. What is the downside?

Good luck with that. Record numbers of guns ae not being sold so that people can merely turn them over to the govt.

And so when she signs the executive order to confiscate all weapons ... what vegetable should I serve that evening with dinner? Was thinking grilled salmon with a little brown rice ... but I really need a vegetable suggestion.

Anyone who hands over any of their legally obtained weapons deserves whatever happens to them.

I was invited into the house of a farmer in Western North Dakota, and I’d estimate his collection at right around a thousand.

Every single surface was covered.

He handed me a six shooter from the bathroom wall, and I asked, “Is it loaded?”

“Of course it’s loaded,” he answered. “What good is a gun if it’s UN-loaded?”

I plan to be in on the early-side of the Civil War, and use up all my ammo then. I have enough to make some considerable trouble.
