I  would consider I had enough rounds when all the trouble makers are prone , not moving or gone and I still had rounds in the gun and a full extra mag. To many allways better than not enough.

Well, back in 1960 we didn't have drug dealers, gang bangers, illegals were deported, people were more civil.  M1 Carbines had 15 round mags.  You had the Browing Hi-Power with 13 round mags.  You had 22 rifles that carried 18 rounds in their tubes or more if you used shorts.  They were available, but not needed.  Like I said people were more civil and respectful back then.  50% of people attended chruch regularly.  Prayer and bible reading were in schools as well as the pledge of allegiance.  Only liberals were communists.  Socialism was just taking root in Europe.  Kennedy would be a Republican today.  Democrats were in the KKK and fighting the civil rights movement.  Hmmm.

I'm taking the liberty to add to DD's post.
 
Young boys walked to the local dump with their 22's to shoot rats and cans without a SWAT team pouncing on them. :(

if all now illegal drugs were legalized the financial incentive for smuggling would disappear and the drug gangs with them. The major problem with illegal drugs is the money involved in the selling.  This is a much larger problem than the actual use of the drugs ever was, is, or ever will be.

if this was to happen then M1 carbines with 15 rd magazines, BHP with 13rd mags and kids shooting rats at the dump could return to the norm.

It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil. Remove the source of the money and the evil will go with it.

maybe once we legalize the drug trade and drop drug prices by about 1000% we can get all the child molesting DHS agents on our southern border and actually DEFEND OUR HOMELAND.

I think you are right.  85% of people in jail is from a drug related crime or associated with it.  Users, dealers, or stealing to get drugs, leading to break ins, armed robberies, etc.  Legalise it, tax it, and sell it at ABC stores or package stores, and it would be off the streets.  Then ID those buying it.  Crime would decrease, jails would be more empty.  Then sex offenders, child molesters, rapists, etc, could be locked up for longer periods of time reducing repeat offenders.  Might even eliminate cross border crime.  Then with the tax money, we can finance drug rehab programs. 
 
I am going to start voting libertarian in primaries, then continue to vote for the most conservative cantidate on the final ballot, even if I don't really like them.  Right now with the drug dealing, you have crooked judges, crooked cops, etc, getting kickbacks, and the big dealers aren't getting caught. 
 
We also need term limits for senators, representatives, and federal judges.  I know judges are appointed, but they probably need a 10 year limit.  No politician gets any special perks, no benefits like federal employees who are full time permanent workers, because they would not be permanent due to term limits.  Also everything they vote for, they have to use or have just like the people they put it on, like Obamacare.  Keeping them turned out and limited, we might actually get some common sense people in who won't take kickback money from anyone to vote a certain way.  Maybe they wouldn't have time to get crooked. 
 
As for rounds, depends on the situation.  Having thousands of rounds available would be nice though.
