Yeah? Net worth of 3.6 billion dollars, does one man need that much money?

Bzzz’d. Wrong answer.

The correct answer is it’s preferred to have at least 90 rounds at the ready but 10k rounds is better.

10k rounds qualifies as a starter kit but we all have to start somewhere.

Fatso Boy has some 90 dbl-cheeseburgers at-the-ready.
ESAD, Shitzker scumbag.

“Illinois governor No civilian should have 90 bullets at the ready”

So what happens when a progressive is walking along minding their own business and they are attacked by 100 Klansmen?

It happens all the time.

Any liberal worth their salt can conjure up 100 Klansmen from beneath any twin bed.

The idiot believes that the the caliber civilians carry is much larger, faster, etc. than what the police carry. Who know that the same 9mm hand gun or scary .223 rife fires the rounds slower and smaller if the police have it.

Must be like Covid “logic”, the same virus won’t get you when eating at a restaurant, only when walking in or out.

No politician needs more than one bodyguard with no more than six rounds. How many bodyguards does this hero-govonor have? In fact, what need has he for any security when one could just call the police if threatened. Hypocrite!

Actually, I AGREE with him. No person should have 90 bullets at the ready - absolutely NO NEED.
.
.
...but...
.
.
with the following 3 conditions satisfied - all of them:
1. The populace is FULLY DISARMED and does not have access to weapons.
2. The police are NOT defunded and ALL judges, prosecutors and others FULLY implement the law on violent criminals, which means locking them up for the long term.
3. And the government is not Fascist, nor shows any signs of Fascism (such as lockdowns, going to Davos, criminalizing working for Trump, etc.)

Of these, #1 would be like today’s Japan (although Abe’s killer still built a gun)...and for the US, this condition is literally impossible. #2 and #3 are not possible as long as the Democrats and Globalist-minded Republicans are able to win elections.

The clincher is #1, as there is no way to remove guns from bad guys, as far too many already have them. #2 and #3 are very unlikely, given our media.

So, TOTAL FAIL, on this insane proposal.

Alexander Hamilton, in Federalist #8:

There is something so far-fetched and so extravagant in the idea of danger to liberty from the militia, that one is at a loss whether to treat it with gravity or with raillery; whether to consider it as a mere trial of skill, like the paradoxes of rhetoricians; as a disingenuous artifice to instil prejudices at any price; or as the serious offspring of political fanaticism.

Where in the name of common-sense, are our fears to end if we may not trust our sons, our brothers, our neighbors, our fellow-citizens? What shadow of danger can there be from men who are daily mingling with the rest of their countrymen and who participate with them in the same feelings, sentiments, habits and interests?

James Madison, in Federalist #46:

And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it. Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion, that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors. Let us rather no longer insult them with the supposition that they can ever reduce themselves to the necessity of making the experiment, by a blind and tame submission to the long train of insidious measures which must precede and produce it.
It seems to me that these Founding Fathers were speaking directly to the governor of Illinois. He doesn't trust his own citizens, and he's a classic Hamilton "rhetorician": a disingenuous artifice to instill prejudices at any price; or as the serious offspring of political fanaticism, or as Madison called it, "the debased subjects of arbitrary power."

He’s absolutely right.

A good man adds at LEAST 2 zeroes. I added 3.

90k rounds sounds right. 9k is decent to have at any one location, and 90 seems to good to have in the car.

900 in the car would be good too. A decent bag ought to do.

My reply to Pritzker? 90 bullets is Not Enough.

See the food/gas riots in various places as countries descend into chaos or collapse (Sri Lanka for example)? Biden is deliberately arranging for that mess/chaos to happen here, just a matter of time.

So what do you think the “ferals” in cities like Chicago, NYC, and other DemonRat hell holes are going to do when there is NO food on the shelves any more? They’re not going to stay in the cities and starve.

As one LIBERAL who is against guns in general said, when he purchased his first gun (quoting approximately): “when you defund the police and there is no more law and order, all bets are off ..... I purchased a gun to defend my family and food supply.”

I am reminded of the Fetterman Massacre in 1866 in which Fetterman and his command of troops attacked a band of Sioux and got clobbered.
All the troops had muzzle loading single shot military rifles except the civilians, who had the latest rapid fire 16 shot Henry Rifles.

All got killed, but the Civilians took such a toll of Sioux that their bodies were filled with arrows after the battle.
When found, they could trace their steps by the empty brass Henry rifle cartridges, reload, move position and stared shooting again.
In front of where they were found were a large number of dead horses and lots of big blood spots where an Indian had been hit and his body later carried off.

Obviously 200 rounds was not enough for them. Maybe 400 rounds would have been better.

When all hell breaks loose you will always need one more shot than you have!
