November 19 is National Ammo Day.

Grassroots activism at it's best. Although I reload for most of my firearms, I can certainly put a few cases of Federal XM-193 to good use (and for a good cause).

A brief explanation - What is National Ammo Day?

November 19 is National Ammo Day.

It is a nationwide BUYcott of ammunition. You buy ammunition. 100 Rounds a person.

The goals of Ammo Day:

The goal of National Ammo Day is to empty the ammunition from the shelves of your local gun store, sporting goods, or hardware store and put that ammunition in the hands of law-abiding citizens. Make your support of the Second Amendment known--by voting with your dollars!

There are an estimated 75 MILLION gun owners in the United States of America. If each gun owner or Second Amendment supporter buys 100 rounds of ammunition, that's 7.5 BILLION rounds in the hands of law-abiding citizens!

Let the politicians, the gun-grabbers, and the international community know that America is proud of its Right to Bear Arms and we will not be disarmed.

The gun/ammunition manufacturers have been taking the brunt of all the frivolous lawsuits brought by the gun-grabbers. These gun-grabbers are trying to put these folks out of business. Well, not if we can help it! And we CAN help it by buying ammunition on November 19! "

1. And for those of us who oppose the Second Amendment?

Can we pee on your ammo?

[FatSlob]

2. Do you oppose other basic rights?

Or do you only oppose the ones that allow the people to be able to fight against criminals or tyranny? If you oppose the right to fight physically, do you oppose the right to fight back via speech? Tell us, what other basic human rights are you opposed to? Do you want all the power to rest with the government, as did the famous dictators Hitler, Stalin, and Mao? My point with those rhetorical questions is that the enemies of freedom would agree wholly with your position. I suggest you rethink it. A man who has no choice in bearing arms is not free.

4. Can you at least set some aside for me to pee on it?

I'll even pay you for it.

7. He means electrical "charges".

The ammo is stacked or lined up on a oven grill, which is wired via an old lamp cord to a 220v outlet. Piss as you please. Hell, you don't even have to pay. I'd pay to see that.

8. LOL

[UNIXcock]

12. XM-193

... is sealed well, tighter than an ARFCOMOD's butt!

[-..__...]

3. I guess you won't be buying any, huh?

:-(

No matter. XM-193 has a sealant so you can piss on it all you like. The stuff will still R&R.

Just don't piss on my powder or primers!!! :mad:

[Goldmund]

5. Nope, I won't be bying any

And politicans are actually "gun grabbers" only in my dream world.

:)

[slackmaster]

14. No, you may not pee on my ammo

But thanks for asking.

I support your right not to own a gun and your right not to buy ammunition. I support your right not to allow guns in your home if that is your wish.

[Goldmund]

16. I see where you're going,

but I don't see it as a basic right.

Such NICE playmates our "pro gun democrats" have, doncha think?

6. I will partake

My ammunition stores are getting a little depleted lately. Though I will definitely be buying a copious amount of ammo between now and then, I will make it a point to buy a case or three of ammunition on the 19th.

9. We're all gun ho! eom

[enfield collector]

10. 100 rounds isn't going to last long, sounds like we should

make the 19th of every month ammo day.

[-..__...]

11. Shop early, shop often.

While supplies last.

13. A case of 1000 rds of .223 for me

[slackmaster]

15. I bought 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP a couple of weeks ago

I'm running a little low on .22 Long Rifle. I'm thinking of stocking up with about 5,000 rounds of that, plus some 12-gauge bird scare bombs.

[skippythwndrdog]

17. I'm in for a couple of cases!

And a few bricks of .22 in all four basic loads, short through magnum.

[MrBenchley]

18. It's always nice to see our RKBAers pimping right wing programs on DU

Please tell us something about Kim duToit, who's organizing this little bit of shittiness....

20. Locking

Its not the job of DU to support the Gun Industry - why don't they do something less obvious in their self interest for support of the 2nd Amendment? Perhaps you could send a specially designed greeting card to your range buddy? Wow, and some folks think we are suckers for falling for the crass commercialization of Valentines Day.
