“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

What Trends Can We Expect in the Global Ammo Market?

by Doris Wise Montrose on December 28, 2021

The market is going green, for one.

The global small caliber ammunition market is expected to see a significant increase by the end of the decade, reaching $9.35 billion in 2028, and registering a revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3 percent during the forecast period. According to new data from Emergen Research, increased spending in military modernization programs in emerging countries for training of soldiers, as well as the growing participation of people in hunting and sport shooting activities, and the rising emphasis on personal safety were among the major factors that were seen to be driving the small caliber ammunition market revenue growth.

Various countries including Germany, France, India, China, and Russia were escalating defense expenditure to enhance their military capabilities. This has resulted in increased defense investments, which had included the procurement of advanced weapons and ammunition. Small-caliber ammunition companies are now developing more innovative products that will meet small-caliber ammunition requirements in a more cost-effective manner.
