There are around 12 billion rounds ammo sold per year, most of it in calibers team freedom would be using
Figure that 80% of it useful calibers, 80% of that shot off and a twenty year hording margin , lets round this to 2 billion rounds per year without resupplying from OpFor or using handloads
Over a twenty year storage period this should leave 40 billion rounds.
There are at most 100 million worthy targets, probably less so this leaves 400 rounds per target roughly assuming no new supplies of any kind and no use of exotic or oddball rounds
Since this would be a shoot and scoot guerilla style war, figure 100 rounds per target leaving 3/4 of the supply untouched
I think that's an exaggeration as a lot of people on OpFor are kids , non combatants and people who can if made to, live in a reasonable manner and leave well enough alone. If things go hot, the goal is not genocide which is too costly not to mention immoral but gaining political power.
Truth is there leader core of OpFor is pretty small and most people even those who ascribe to some of their views are regular folks who aren't a threat.
Even if you numbers were true , that still leaves plenty of ammo left at the end and my numbers don't account for people fleeing to anywhere else , dying of disease or anything else
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.

That's 3 rounds to accomplish what could be accomplished with one gut shot. Ammo will be scarce.

@revjen,
No, it's not.
You don't teach all three lessons at once.
That would be silly.
The lesson isn't being taught to the one getting shot in the gut.
The gut shooting is pour encourager les autres or, if you want to be all folksy about it, the rooster and monkey principle.

Correction - There are 200 million worthy targets, and only 120 million potential shooters on our side.
