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!


CORRECTION:

Each person buying 100 rounds is patchwork. There are (about) 260 million
guns in the U.S. What needs to happen is each gun owner should buy 100
rounds PER WEAPON. For example, 100 rounds of 9 mm for my Uzi won't fit my
AK47 no matter how many curse words I use. If that kind of standard is
followed, we're talking 26 billion bullets.

Sadly, though, there are not 26 billion cartridges, nor, for that matter,
7.5 billion, available for sale. On the plus side, ammunition has a
shelf-life measured in multiple decades, so one could start stocking up (and
hope that he's not overtaken by events).

The market is, however, growing. A report out just today says there were
over 1 million gun purchases in September (+12%). While gun owners are often
like cat owners (they typically have more than one), this increase no doubt
includes a significant number of first-time buyers.
