Is there enough ammo in gun owners possession to defend the constitution as the founding fathers intended? If only they had mentioned bearing surface to air missiles to keep the fuhrer  from droning out the rights of a free state.

Depends on who planned ahead and who didn't.

We will run out of ammo quickly and then we will have to fight with swords and black powder rifles. Militias have some ammo horded but it may be tough to get too.

A well diversed collection of arms is fully capable of a enemy funded resupply.

Either we will take ammo from those we defeat, or we will be defeated ourselves very quickly. Guerrilla fighters rely heavily on capturing enemy equipment/arms/supply.

Really; think about it for a second: If the people decide to unite, the government would be fundamentally changed overnight with very few if ANY shots even taken. A couple thousand police and soldiers simply can't kill damn near 200 million people.
The best fight is a bloodless fight. Everyone says "You are fired. Pack your shit and GIT." That's all. Everyone quits doing their daily routine, and the whole train stops. We throw the rifraf off, and the train starts again.

Look to how few died in flipping over Egypt. A country with a lot of land, but most of it is not really usable. The population centers saw full tilt protests, and yes, some violence. But in reality???? That's a pretty bloodless turnover of a country. Was it done right? Did it really meet its' objectives? Maybe not.
But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that if the United States flips on its' head that things will be peachy-keen in 72 hrs. There would be a lot of issues to sort out.
Most of which will simply not require ammo to solve.

Over the next 4 to 5 years the government will be buying about 1.6 billion bullets  roughly 5 for each American.

First we decide to change the world.
Then we tell everyone exactly how we are going to do it
Then they all join in
And then we tell them all exactly how to go about so there will never be injustice ever again.

Well, Okay- you got me. I'll head on over, and turn my shit in tomorrow morning.

You DO realize that in Iraqistan, we expend about 250,000 bullets for EVERY confirmed kill, right?

Yeah, 250,000 per. So think about that for a bit.

+1 Our founding fathers designed things so that the next time around we would have the potential to be very well armed. I heard somewhere that about 50% of the full auto weapons in the US belong to the government, the other 50% are privately held. A guy with an AR, some web gear, mags, and say an ammo can full of ammo is pretty well armed compared to a lot of the people fighting wars right now.

This.

Without any organization and with the hoarding "look out for number 1 and screw the rest" mentality of most preppers, all the government will need are a couple of SWAT teams to go door to door. Everyone will be too busy locked up in their own homes by themselves protecting their personal stash from everyone else.

make sure if you want a resupply on ammo from fallen enemys  that you buy weapons that shoot the same caliber as your enemies....any exotic weapon will serve no purpose in battle because you will likely be out of ammo by day 2....exotic weapons are a waste in shtf
