A U.S.-China war could kick off a massive migration event with tens of thousands of refugees attempting to reach the United States by sea or land. (note: I think this's happening already)

Nothing in that is out of the relm of possibilities.

You sound like my kids. I tell them to stockpile ammo. I help them by gifting them ammo at birthdays and Christmas and they cannot blast through it fast enough.
Then they have the gall to complain about how expensive it is, I slap my forehead look at them square in the eyes and say...I know!
Now get out of here and go buy your own ammo. You're not using any of mine!!

Well, there is shootin' ammo and there is stashin' ammo. It's wise to rotate, but always keep a number you're content with on hand.
