Stockpiling should be BANNED! It’s unconstitutional to have a standing army during peacetime, and Obama seems intent on forcing us into “peace” by drawing down around the world. No Army, no Navy, NO DHS!

In the long run this will make Ammo more available and in greater quantities at a lower price. Like pretty much everything Bozon does, it backfires on his intent.
