Holy calibers, Batman!

I'm too cheap to have all those different guns and calibers.

Yep 9 silly-meter 45 and 223 are good!

Wow that's a lot of calibers. I consolidated to 9 and 223 years ago for cost and they are themost common rounds. I recommend a minimum 1000 rounds per gun.
I remember those days when I could but let's take an example of how things can go.

At first, I was only shooting .45 ACP, using the USP. The problem with the USP is you need a field jacket or purse to conceal it. So I got a Kimber Ultra Carry. It was okay but jammed a lot unless perfectly clean and used top notch 1911 magazines.

So then my arms dealer set me up with the P 239 which took me into 9mm.

At first, I only shot my AR-10 but the -10 is very expensive to feed, so I got a -15....and then my ammo needs extended into .223.

Etc, etc, etc

Hell, I lost count.

The majority of my stock is 30.06 for the BAR's and I have more of those, because I rarely shoot those monsters. I knock the dust off of them at least once a year. They will wear you out. If the **** hits the fan, it is my go friend.
I just blew through a couple 1000 rounds of .45acp on Easter. The daughter and I took the Trench Broom out to knock the dust off it. That thing is just plain fun. It is like that carnival game, where you have to cut the star out of the paper, with the air gun, rapid fire. If it was not such an old gun, I would shoot it more.
My estimate would be 5000 rounds of 30.06. Couple hundred 5.56 and pretty sure I got an unopen box of .223 down in the bottom of my stash. Forgot about my .22lr I do have a few hundred rounds. I think I have about 25 rounds of .45acp after Easter weekend's fun. 75 rounds of .38sp hp's, but that is my daughter sidearm and I keep forgetting to give them to her now that she has her own place. .410 and 12 gauge, a couple of boxes of 8 shot each and 1/2 box of 6 shot for turkey. I even have a dozen .357 rounds and don't have a .357 My dad must have at one time. They were in his stash I inherited and a full box pf .22 mag I can't use. I found a 20 gauge shell in the junk drawer yesterday and no 20 gauge around here.

My son rented a .45 ACP full auto Tommy gun up at a Lake Havasu gun shop not too long ago. I've never seen such a huge grin when he let loose with that monster...

Heck, hand strangulation's causes more deaths a year than mass shootings are done by AR15's, yet we are not banning human hands. There has been roughly 160 mass shootings in the past 11 years, how many do you think were done with AR15's vs handguns?

So, I ask again, why the AR15 and not any other weapon?

If you're honest with yourself, you'd say that you got brainwashed by left wing MSM.
yep

No! Thompson Trench Broom!
Tommy gun was derogatory term, placed on the best gun ever made.
The fun factor is off the charts with an M1921, or like my M1928A1.

I have never shot an Uzi, but I imagine it is the same.

The Thompson submachinegun never saw service in WWI, as it came to life in 1919. It saw service in WWII, but no trench warfare. It wasn't the "Trench Broom."

The "Trench Broom" was a shotgun, most commonly the Winchester models 1897 and 1912. I would expect a dealer in Title 2 weapons to know that.

Stock up on that 22lr ammo! Should have a minimum of a few thousand rounds
