#2 ...On the other hand, even at the height of the Cold War, we never had more than a ninety-day supply of ammo, and what was made since '03 mostly went straight to places where it was being used. I'd be surprised right now if we had 45 days.

#3 There is no guarantee the new ammo will go to the stockpile - I suspect it will go straight to Ukraine.

1st:
What, the US Gov has already used what Obama stole off Civilian shelves.

2nd: Rings true like a good cover story for the next upcomming Federal Raid on the Civilian Ammo market in Oct. As it is clear the LSD's will lose, or are caught conducting another Illegal election process and count.
