@SPQR70AD Define "boomers".
I think someone is looking to get banned...
I was re-loading when I was a lad back at a time when off the shelf ammo was comparatively more expensive and reloading components less so. Now, and I'm speaking for ALL ages, since reloading components are relatively expensive, it doesn't hurt to have a decent supply of commercial ammo in personal inventory, say thousands of rounds each of the different calibers we shoot. I wouldn't call this "hoarding". I'd call it "planning ahead". Having seen the effects of LoSaD during pre and post election cycle "dry" spells, I know that I want to get as much as I can afford so if events turn dark, my family and I will be prepared. And able to continue to practice our marksmanship...
If we were or supported communists,
EVERYONE would have the same amount of ammo which would be
zero. And same amount of guns to shoot the ammo out of, also zero. And if this comrade knew you had a gun or bullets, I would rat you out to the Kommisar so I could get a special ration and you 20yrs in the gulag!
I'm kidding because I would never do that--Snitches get Stitches!
I strongly believe that ANYONE who votes Dumpocrap should give up ALL their guns since that is what the people they (illegitimately) "voted" into office want. This is coming from a Libertarian, BTW. Repubicons are not helping by being a bunch of poosies! I don't know if this was your point but I agree there are far too many whitehairs (or white if it wasn't dyed) on EITHER side in Congress. But I also feel there should be a minimum age because some of "younger" Congresspeople have a complete lack of patriotism, wisdom and common-sense...
