Every since the so called '94 Assault Weapons Ban I've had concernes that the anti's would eventually, somehow, restrict the availabilty or affordability of ammo. I wouldn't call myself a hoarder, but I did start buying extra ammo for every gun I own so I'd have a small stash should "that day" ever come.
So about 20 years ago I worked up a list of calibers and ammo type that I wanted to stock up on and explained to my wife that every time she went shopping at a place that sold ammo she was to buy one box of "something" that was on the list. A box of 150 grain .30-30 on one trip, a box of 3 inch .410 #7 shot on another, and a box of 230 grain .45 ACP FMJ on the next. If it's on sale, get two boxes of 12 guage.
She did that faithfully until recently when I told her to hold off. I'm not sure that "the day" of ammo restrictions is actually here, but I'm certainly well prepared for this little shortage that we're experiancing.
