another wrinkle is there are plenty of guys who load/reload their own. may not be any good way to estimate that numberThat's 41,666 rounds of ammo per gun. Might want to recheck that meme's math.

Or you can consider the more likely scenario: the claim is full of shit.Some weapons can burn up up a lot of ammo quickly.

Come get ammo that doesn't exist?Come get em Huey! Lol lol lol
If the math is off by a factor of a hundred or more, I wouldn't exactly call that nitpicking.Like 93 said, I don't think there is any way to tell for sure how many guns or ammo are in this country. However, the premise of the meme still holds true. Nitpicking at something like the actual number of ammo doesn't change anything.
Come get ammo that doesn't exist?
I have only been buying ammo for 2 or 3 years and i have around 8,000 rounds. Many friends with much more than that.A 1000 rounds is a few hundred bucks. Let's say $300 for math's sake, which works out to 30 cents per round. 25 trillion times .3 is 7.5 trillion.
You're telling me there's $7.5 trillion worth of ammo in this country?
If we're ever invaded, I'll be thankful.
Everyone knows it? LOL.It is a problem, and everyone knows it.
You realize, some people have been accumulating ammo for decades??The annual revenue of the gun and ammo industry is $13 billion. We need to get to $7.5 trillion. The math doesn't add up.
Me neither. I look at it mostly as an investment first.Keep in mind, this isn't necessarily a high five to gun owners. I don't expect to be invaded, well, overtly invaded, any time soon. Like never.
And I say this as someone who owns quite a number of guns.
If we're ever invaded, I'll be thankful.
How many guns do you think the guy with 50,000 rounds has?I have only been buying ammo for 2 or 3 years and i have around 8,000 rounds. Many friends with much more than that.
Many others that reload. It isnt uncommon for many individuals to have 50,000 rounds or more.
You prove over and over you know nothing about guns or the 2nd amendment. Its not surprising you wouldnt understand this topic either
I'll bring my calculator, too, since you clearly won't need any.I've got 12,000 rds of 5.56 62gr green tip! thousand rds of .45! Probably another 500 9mm. Few hundred buck shot rds for my 12! I'm prepared for all of you nut libs who are completely UNHINGED... I'm clinging to my Bible and my Guns!! You should move to Venezuela! Gun free there! Liberal / Socialist UTOPIA!! Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper though! Lol lol lol
8,000 rounds. If all you own is 1 gun, you're still 33,666 rounds short. Better get buying to bail this claim out.I have only been buying ammo for 2 or 3 years and i have around 8,000 rounds. Many friends with much more than that.

If our military/navy can't stop an invading force, joe schmoe and his gun isn't going to stop it.
Clearly one. That way he can spot terre 8,333 rounds so terre is only down 23,333 rounds for his single gun. Progress!How many guns do you think the guy with 50,000 rounds has?

Thing is it's no longer nitpicking since people are actually trying to support this ridiculous number.You're just nitpicking in order to avoid the real truth of the meme. It's the only thing you have in this situation. No children's graves to stand on, no anti-gun rhetoric and talking points. The truth is staring you in the face and you can't handle it, because your beliefs aren't based upon truths.
I know the difference between good math and bad math. We can start there. Ready to admit the original claim is wrong?Lol @Huey Grey . Has it even been a year since you learned the difference between semi automatic and fully automatic? I bet you still don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine. I don't even want to ask about suppresors vs silencers.

33,000 gun deaths a year. That's not a problem?Sure it is, because the actual number doesn't have anything to do with the point. The point is that there are a lot of guns and ammo in the hands of responsible owners, and if those owners wanted you to have a problem, you would have a problem.

Those were caused by the irresponsible gun owners.33,000 gun deaths a year. That's not a problem?
