It's that time again - National Ammo Day is Nov 19!

Check out Kim du Toit's National Ammo Day site!

What is the purpose of National Ammo Day?

The purpose of National Ammo Day is to send a message to those who would seek to disarm us and to support U.S. ammunition manufacturers.

The goal is to put BILLIONS of rounds of ammunition into the hands of law-abiding citizens, all over the country, in a single day.

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!


How can you participate?
As a law-abiding citizen (and allowed to buy ammunition in your state or locale), we participate by purchasing ammunition on November 19: 100 Rounds should do it. Handloaders are counted by purchasing bullets and powder.

You might also want to let your ammunition supplier know of your intention to purchase ammunition on November 19, so they will have plenty of supply on-hand to meet the demand. A form is available from the National Ammo Day website, or contact your local ammunition supplier directly to find out if they have setup any special procedures to handle all the anticipated sales.

You can also assist by spreading the word about National Ammo Day. Send e-mails, faxes, and make phone calls to let your friends and family know about November 19.

There are other ways to show your support if you are unable or not interested in buying ammunition. On November 19, send a letter, a fax, or call your local representatives and let them know that you support the Second Amendment and the unhindered rights of law-abiding citizens To Keep and Bear Arms.

In addition, you may choose to donate to (or join) a gun rights lobbying group and let them know you are doing so in support of National Ammo Day. These organizations, such as the Second Amendment Sisters, NRA, and Gun Owners of America (to name just three), would benefit from your contribution.

Didn't have much in the ammo budget last year, but did buy a "small brick" (400 rounds) of Federal's American Eagle .22LR brand, and 40 rounds of 7.62x54 for my Mosin-Nagant M- 44.

Plan to pick up MUCH more this year.

 

[Mark Tyson]

I'll be participating. I think I'll buy some surplus ammo in bulk.

 

[Carlos Cabeza]

I'm in.

 

[Brian Dale]

Yup.

 

[Thrash1982]

I'll buy as much as I can afford. Heck, I'll probably buy more than I can afford.

 

[CrudeGT]

I'll be there. Maybe i'll pick up a new handgun as well as ammo. I could always use both.

 

[BerettaNut92]

I already have more in ammo than I do in food!

Haven't you ever heard the old saying: "Ammo will get you through times of no food better than food will get you through times of no ammo"?

 

[bogie]

I'll bet this doesn't even do a minor blip in sales.

It got no coverage in the media that I know of last year.
But it wasn't because I didn't do MY part!

The point isn't to surge ammo sales or production; it's to SHOW UNITY.
Buy a six month supply in one day. If any media covers this event, imagine the impact it would make if the camera showed bare shelves at Wal-Mart and the manager saying "We were totally unprepared for this; people were lined up five-deep at the sporting good counter all day to buy bullets".

Buy a case or more of ammo. Urge your friends to buy a case.
Bullets are like California gubernatorial candidates: You can never have too many.

I'll probably hit up Academy and Walmart for 9mm blazer and remington shotgun shells.

 

[Bigjake]

i'm there, pry a case of 9mm and a whole bunch of .45 acp. hell, i plan to buy my next couple months that date, it even gives me time to prep. isn't standard SHTF requirement 1000 rnds per caliber?? i got some stocking up to do!

 

[chaim]

Sure I'm in. Even if I only buy a box of the Winchester 100 round value pack .45acp at Walmart and some .22lr I'm in.

 

[NewShooter78]

So how would you go about doing a bulk ammo purchase online, and have the total count toward the National Ammo Day total?

 

[RVSinOK]

Count me in!

Most of the major online ammo vendors are (or should be) aware of AmmoDay. But just send them the link and ask that they report their sales to Kim. It's certainly in their best interests to support it.

In fact, that's a good idea. Let's email all our favorite online ammo vendors and tell them about AmmoDay and suggest they support it.

 

[cool45auto]

Sounds good, I'm in.

 

[Black92LX]

I'm in

 

[Dave R]

Oh, yeahhhh. I'm in.

Nice of them to include components for reloaders.

Pass the word on, folks. Make the media irrelevant and show them what "gun nut solidarity" can do.

 

[Deepdiver]

Roger that! I'm in for at least 1000 rounds of something - maybe some good surplus 308 for the HK.

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Heard about this after the fact last year, I will be doing it for sure this year!

 

[BHPshooter]

I didn't have a chance to participate last year, but I'm in this year. I'll max out my credit card and blow my paycheck. I could use a few cases of 9mm, and I haven't had any 12-guage ammo around for a while.

Thanks for posting this.

Last year I heard some enthusiastic boosters mailed used targets to various congressional representatives.

Bad symbolism.

 

[gwalchmai]

Yes, Waitone, I think buying the ammo will send all th message needed.
