I think my daughter is responsible for a lot of that ammo that was purchased.
And I have no problem with that.

***I am just worried about why so many Americans felt the need to stock up.***

You honestly don’t understand?

You must have missed the news ~ ever since the Obamistas took over the economy is in the tank, there are ten million unemployed young people, a new and deadly influenza epidemic is forming up AND, the Democrats control Congress.

Those are all good reasons to purchase several guns and to acquire pallet loads of appropriate ammunition.

The best defense is a good offense! NOTE: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

As previously pointed out, there are some problems with your numbers. Still....

4-5 guns per adult? It sounds like a good idea to me. Well, at least 4-5 guns. A well armed society is a polite society.

No, that's four or five bullets per American.

You mean rounds or shells.If all you had were bullets the only way could use them is to throw them.:)

“doesn’t signify a business as usual environment”

You have no idea how prophetic your statement actually is. I was laid off the Friday before this past Thanksgiving. Since then, I have spent nearly $4000 of my 401k (that’s money we are using to live on right now) on guns and ammo — mostly guns. That is not business as usual for our family. We don’t believe in spending money for things we don’t “need” when we are not fully employed. If there were not so many hopey changey idiots who voted in November, we would have never considered buying five new guns in my current situation, or at all.

This environment is nothing close to business as usual. On Saturday night, for the first time in her life, CDBear slept with a pistol — her new pistol — on her bedside table. This is a woman who had never touched a loaded weapon until the previous Saturday. Now I have somebody to back me up who is an impressively good shot.

No, you just have no idea how significantly this is NOT a business as usual environment.

The left is trying to stir up the opposition with lies.

In just 3 months Americans bought enough guns to outfit the entire Chinese and Indian army’s combined.

The entire Chinese and Indian army's combined what?

That is cool. We’d have bought more if the stores had the inventory.
