Do we as citizens, not have the right to know the reason behind amassing that quantity of ammo? There can be no legitimate reason behind that. And the left wing TV networks would never dream of investigating.

They can amass all the rounds they want, when they fire on their own citizens (us), they will have kicked a hornets nest and public opinion will turn to $hit. Ex. Waco Tx. Branch Davidians, which of course led to retaliatory acts like Timothy McVeigh and Oklahoma City.
