That's crazy, how can someone have a million rounds and nearly a dozen machine guns and NOT blow it all on one fucking sweet range day with the boys?

Imagine living close to Nevada and not using the ammo on a chance to fire some really kick ass guns. That state is like mecca for collectors and automatic weapon lovers.

How do you know he didn't have 2 million rounds and did this with half?

My family motto is “Buy it cheap and stack it deep”, also on grocery day it is “One trip or die”.

Because, duh, when the new world order or lizard lasers or whatever it's called these days comes, that million rounds will be his gateway to keep his little empire so filled with freedom! For at least an hour or two!

It's an investment!*
