I just stocked up on a TON of ammo for my AR-15.. lets hope I never have to use it in self defense but after Biden took over as president and the series of events I am seeing unfold it worries me just enough to be prepared just in case. I still think it is unlikely to devolve to that point, but the Biden arrests and the misinformation in the media feels a bit too scary for me to at least not prepare.

If things do get bad enough that a nazi-like environment fully develops it will be far too late to get ammo by the time that is evident. So seems prudent to stock up now just in case.

Im basically just buying boxes of NATO 5.56 in various type. Hell if things calm down and get better at least ill have plenty of ammo for the range.

This is the first time I ever felt any real need to stock up on ammo in case of emergency, thats sad. But with the first segregationist is living history as president who already promised a healthy dose of fascism before even winning the election it is dangerous times out there.

@freemo
I was going to do similar either way because there's too many dangerous radical people in either side of the fence. The world is a scary place, time to set up or put up.

@lucifargundam yea there are certainly dangerous radicals on both sides... It feels like 95% - 97% of liberals/democrats are radicalized and something like 5% - 25% of republicans. But the republicans are more heavily armed and I suspect the rest of the republicans will quickly take up arms should the other radicals on both sides actually start a civil war.

I should note for anyone looking into this conversation, that I'm usually a pacifist and don't believe endless wars solve anything.

That being said, I need to renew my gun license- but it expired in 2017 and so now I have to apply for a new one altogether. I don't hope to ever need to be use a firearm for self-defense, but it would be neglegent of me to dismiss the possibility and prepare accordingly.
