I am not so sure it is so much a ban on ammo considering that DHS is buying stockpiles of ammo to the point of needing to ask why do you need so much? Or if it is a knee-jerk reaction to what is happening with multiple Gun Bills and the possibility of an executive order. I think that the Federal Government is buying every bit of ammo they can, and that is causing a shortage. I am asking myself why this is happening because the rounds that DHS is buying is hollow point soft tipped rounds and not authorized for use as a round for law enforcement nor is it authorized under the Geneva rules of war.
But as for stockpiling yes you should always be prepared like a good boy scout

. And yes one man’s criminal is another man’s patriot. I would also say this for all you professionals’ do what you know how to do.
