What's the Point? National Ammo Day November 17th - 26th


What a bunch of crap. National Ammo "Day" isn't even a day...it's over a week. This is complete BULL$HIT

From Ammoday.com,
Second Amendment supporters should buy ammunition November 19th to support freedom, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Monday, November 19th is National Ammo Day, described as a BUYcott of ammunition. 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.

According to the National Ammo Day website, each law-abiding supporter of the right to keep and bear arms is encouraged to buy 100 rounds of their favorite ammunition. Supporters are exhorted to Make your support of the Second Amendment known--by voting with your dollars!…

Here are the pathetic "goals" from the "Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms,

Second Amendment supporters should buy ammunition November 19th to support freedom, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
.....
“Gun stores, ranges, and ammunition manufacturers across the country are under constant attack by a barrage of federal, state, and local regulations, frivolous lawsuits, and protests,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “If every gun owner bought 100 rounds of ammunition, that would put an estimated 7.5 billion rounds of ammunition into the hands of law-abiding gun owners dedicated to defending our constitutionally-protected individual right to keep and bear arms.”
.....
Mark A. Taff, CCRKBA Executive Director, went one step further and encouraged gun owners to not only buy 100 rounds of their favorite ammunition, but to fire those rounds on their local gun range. “I can’t think of a better way to spend a Monday evening than putting some rounds down-range to improve our marksmanship skills. Hitting what you aim at is crucial to responsible armed self-defense.”
Bull$hit. We deserve the right to bear arms, but suggesting that WE need a day/week to buy ammo is ridiculous and helps absolutely NOTHING. Support our schools, support anything..but don't go and buy AMMO. What a crock of NRA sponsored crap. Haven't bullets killed enough people, yet?

Same Players. Different Scandal.

NRA has nothing to do with this. It's the creation of blogger Kim Du Toit, and is on November 19th of each year... which is also the blogger's birthday.

to answer your question I suggest a teensy tiny little bit of research.

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!
