Note to self:

Go buy more ammo.

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

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

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

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.

I toss a brick of .22 LR into the cart every time I hit the sporting goods store.

.
The Stockpile Song

Take the flag down from the place
where it led the human race.
Run up U.N. white and blue.
That’s what your “leaders” want to do.
They don’t seem to understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.

Public schools were first to go.
They’re run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home
far from the propaganda zone.
For they don’t want to understand
we are a family loving band.
So spread the word around the land
and stockpile knowledge while you can.

Stage and screen and on T.V.
they’re mocking God in all we see.
They may close your church some day
but they can’t stop us when we pray.
For they refuse to understand
we are a Jesus loving band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile Bibles while you can.

Somewhere there near your hometown
professor’s robe or judge’s gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
For time will come they’ll understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.
.

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.

Lead and brass to protect the gold and silver.

But a .22LR.

Thousand of rounds can be affordably acquired and easily stored.

Then when you appear in the news, the LSM can claim that your place was a fortified arsenal and add the .22LR to the larger stuff to indicate that you're a r-w wacko clinging to your ammo.

Doesn't Sharia law claim that you're supposed to use your left hand?
