With all the terrorists that are getting into the country, there is never enough.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

i like to have at least 1000 rounds for every gun i own
The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Load up on what you can use the most or find more of down the road in the popular calibers, my STW will end up bring an expensive club since I can’t get ammo for it.

I make sure to be THAT guy everyone will think is crazy for all the stuff I've squirreled away. Problem is the cost! I made the jump many years ago and bought reloading gear and am always on the lookout for reasonably priced components. Ammo has an indefinite shelf life.

A lifetime supply then when you reach that one might plan for your kids.i don't shot a lot compared to a lot of guys but I won't be caught short again. I'm a slower learner but I've seen enough shortages that I've figured it out.
If you accidentally get too much, who doesn't like to shot?

As much as you can get. It's hard to do with the current prices and shortages in powder/primers. At the very least have enough for a few waves of attacks then there will be some to collect.

No such thing as too much. It don't eat anything.

It' is better to have ammo in times of no money
Than it is to have money in times of no ammo
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
