The lack of affordable ammo DIRECTLY reduces an individuals ability to train adequately and often, needed for both advanced training and to keep current proficiency to exceed any minimum standards.

Lacking affordable ammo, and sometimes just being completely unavailable in the case of many popular defensive roungs, only makes things more dangerous for gun owners and non-gun owners alike.

One of the FIRST safety rules you learn with a gun before even learning The 4, should be to make sure you are competent with a gun before shooting, and that you value safety - this is often unspoken but it the most important IMO.

Lacking available ammo also means gun owners can not check the functionality and reliability of their guns.

THEY ARE LITERALLY RATIONING AMMO. (by price and outright rationing).

I am limited at my LGS, to ONE (50 rnd) bag of .45 ACP PER WEEK (and it aint even cheap). Really great way to test a new 1911.......

ANYWAY - WE NEED A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, FOR AFFORDABLE AMMO.

Lets Make It Happen.
