I am lovin this thread! Let's face it guys - if the SHTF, I mean really hits it, do you think we'll all still be hangin around in our homes? Probably not. Now it's always good to have lots of ammo, just in case, and of course you have to be loaded up for plinking, and maybe you can carry water, food, camping stuff, survival gear, and 20k rounds of ammo in your vehicle, but where are you gonna put your guns and that annoying space-consuming family of yours? At any rate, any ammo that goes BANG and heads downrange and into your target is good enough for me - I've shot XM193PD, Winchester SilverTips, Remington HPBT, and anything else I can get my hands on through my Bushmaster, and with the exception of a few XM193 dented primers, I hit the target every time.
As far as the problem of crazy governments and the UN banning ammo and/or taxing the hell out of it, that is a very real issue. Look around the world, other people are doing it. So quit talking about action and let's do what we can! Personally, I belong to the NRA, the RMEF, the NA Hunting Club, as many local ranges as possible, and write my Senators and Congressmen every chance I get when some liberal kitten stroking anti-gun bill rears it's ugly head. (like S.397!) Did you know about that one? No?! Well then (god-forbid!) get off AR15.com and go find out about it! It just saved the gun industry and prevented a SHTF incident!
And don't forget - stop complaining about XM193PD and just buy it! It's cheap and remember, it fragments! Yeah! (so please no more threads titled "XM193PD, what's the deal?".
So shoot a few thousand rounds for those soldiers who never made it home to get the chance, and Screw the Dems!
