OK, let me get this straight . . .

6,000 rounds is a "mind boggling stash of ammo" ???

Then again, modern Britain is a place where they've been known to go into a panic because a single round of .22LR was found on the street .

The handwringing over this is just amazing. . . .and yet no mention of the three hero boyfriends who died, protecting their dates. . . .

I wonder how many rounds the patriots used in 1780s? Maybe we’re a little more prepared to keep our government in check than they are?

To be fair, 6,000 rounds sounds like a lot more than it really is. If I didn’t know better I’d imagine a small warehouse full.

And most of that ammo was for a high-powered military assault rifle!

I’m very pro 2nd Amendment and I’d consider it a noteworthy quantity,particularly when held by someone who exhibits any kind of odd behavior.

A couple of friends and I used to go “plinking” with .22s and go through nearly a 3rd of that in an afternoon. We bought ammo in a 2000 round canister.

Granted it was cheap ammo so we had a fair number of misfires.

One case of .22 LR is 5000 rounds, and will fit under the seat of a pickup truck.

I’m in the industry, and our company has to order in ammunition from time to time. We’ve had as much as 800,000 rounds on hand at once.

They’d go into seizures if they knew what many of we Freepers and preppers had stashed.

Ones get the best pricing if one buys in bulk.

A case of 22rf is 5000 rounds just a nice amount for a year of light practice.

I wonder what the headlines would read if they were to uncover the muzzies stash of explosives hidden on their soil. Just saying.

The gun grabbers are going to come after internet sales of ammo. They’ve already dabbled in this area with the aborted attempt by the EPA to ban lead ammo, and with the unbelievably large purchases of ammo by the government that have so severely limited the supply to civilians. An outright ban of ammo sales over the internet will be the next step - they’ll make it require an FFL to sell in quantities larger than 50 rounds.

450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammo is mind-boggling.

This is funny. FReepers are all panicked because they think the left is making this about "gun control", and so what do they do? Make every thread about "gun control", seeing in every sentence and hearing in every utterance subliminal "gun control" brainwashing.

If there were a larger story - and there is - it goes unnoticed. Until Rush tells them what it is.

1K rounds of the Prvi Partizan 5.56mm, the way they tightly box it, and package it in Serbia for case shipping, makes for a handy and easily manageable shipping box.

You can fit all 5 200 round plastic sleeved (10 boxes of 20 each) into a .50 cal ammo can.

Six of those will not take up that much space in a closet...really no big deal.

Nothing mind-boggling about it.

Did you read the whole article? A lot of good info, interviews, pics, etc.. Yeah, they’re screwy about the ammo, but there’s a heck of a lot more stuff in that booby-trapped apartment!
