In past years (pre-Obama) I basically thinned my herd back to common U.S. and NATO military calibers with quite a bit of ammo for each. I loved collecting firearms from all over the planet but I moved a lot of stuff out, arms + ammo. It was all good stuff and I held out for what it was worth. More power to those folks who were happy to get it. We're not far enough along yet in the Obamanization of America to where I'll tell anybody, "Do what I did (cuz I did it)," but it is plausible to think the handwriting's on the wall for some kind of major upheaval domestically, perhaps globally. All you can do, really, is try to think tactically. What are my most effective weapons, how much stuff can I store & maintain, how much can I move out and by what means, if/when it comes to that? There's no "strategy", currently, of which I'm aware that I'd wanna sign onto. If I hadn't begun preparing a long time ago and I were scratching around now with my pants down, like so many are, I wouldn't run out and blow a bundle on ammo at current prices. What guarantee do you have that it'll save your life or your family's, or protect your property against trespassers, vagabonds, and marauders (or, for that matter, the forces of a police state)? No more guarantee than I have. I can say, though, I'm not alone, and thanks to many more folks who think independently of me but similarly, there will be ammo and there will be firearms throughout MOST of America as we know it. Those who haven't prepared, well, we'll call on them to contribute something else.
