Uhhh, and what good is all that ammo going to do you? Just curious.

One may be better off buying enough manure to cover one's property, and a bucketful of seeds; somehow, those will do you and your neighbours more good than the biggest gun you can buy. In my mind, if everyone survives, it is better than no one surviving, but that's just me, I guess.......

I'd rather trade ammo than use it on other people but it's not bad to have.

If Obama and the Democrats slap a massive tax on ammunition then having it now is better than paying out the nose for it later. There has been serious discussion of "microstamping" bullets in order to ID them too - something that will drastically raise the cost of ammunition.

Buy it while you can....

You can buy both - good seeds are cheap and great seeds can be obtained for the asking from seed savers. I have a few containers of heirloom seeds and save seeds.

I gave some thought to a "composting toilet" in order to make manure from the best source - people. It's stinky but doable.

I am planning to expand the garden considerably this year. Probably adding balcony gardens since they are not as easy to poach as ground gardens.

Everyone ought to be growing fresh food. People in Cuba grow vegetables and even poultry and pigs on their apartment balconies. No excuses for anyone to go hungry - unless they're unlucky, stupid or lazy.
