Self-sufficiency is bad!
"Hoarding" is subjective...we always took it to mean gathering everything for yourself and not sharing/releasing it to others in need...Liberals have been calling the "Ants" hoarders for decades, demanding their share while Fiddling with the Grasshoppers.
I mean it's CNN...WTF do you really expect from the communist news network?

Wonder how they feel about people "hoarding" money? Do they have a hoarding problem? How about farmers who stockpile food for their livestock?
I've watched the show "Hoarders" many times. I've never seen an episode where they entered a house so thick with food they couldn't walk through it.

My money, my house, my hoarding I’ll do as I please. I wonder how they feel about hoarding guns and ammo.
So, I actually read the article. Most of the writing is correct, Food hoarding and prepping is not the same.
I know a few people that hoard food, not because of the reasons many here hoard, they hoard out of life experience. Like stated in the article, they were poor when younger and food was not always there.
Many Americans, we prepare. We understand the revolving in and out food; rotating. Most of us are good at what we do, so there is little to no waste.

You’re correct. My grandma grew up during the depression and he hoarded food but most of it was never eaten and sat in her basement to rot. She died and now it’s all in a landfill. Same with her sisters and my grandpa’s clothes. She couldn’t part with them to donate them and they got all funky and moldy in her basement so to the landfill they went.

I can only imagine what they have to say about ammo hoarding
I dare say most all those who lived through or grew up in the Great Depression have passed away, and with it their steadfast resolve to not discard anything, because it might be highly useful or prized later, there are still those who've lived hard times, embracing that same mentality of self reliance, and of course there are those who live frugally. We had a neighbor that was an Orphan during the GD, worked the CCC Camp, became a Marine, fought in the Pacific, retired from the Rail Road: He had money, but still wore shirts with so many repairs you couldn't tell what was original, boxes, bins, cabinets of hardware, and new clothes that he never wore....again, he saved everything.
We can some foods, freeze a reasonable amount, and stock necessities and staples, but at some point you have to look at what you have and actually use it up, rotate what you have, and replace it with fresh....while I know that Strawberry Jam from 2020 is perfectly edible and as sweet as the day it was made, it still should be used up and replaced with a fresh batch lest it end up in the Land Fill as a wasted effort.
{Police/Press Interview} "...nobody needs that much ammunition or that many Guns...threat to the whole neighborhood...neighbors described him as 'quiet and keeping to himself'...could have blown up the whole Block!.."I can only imagine what they have to say about ammo hoarding
Any more questions?
IMHO "enough" ammunition is when it arrives by Freight Truck and requires a Fork Lift.

Folks they are writing this story from a mental health issue. They could have just broaden the theme to all hoarding. ... I believe they would have been better off to serve the community to show the benefits of prepping as a whole. I read a story about a man down in the South. He had 10-15 hoes of all different sizes.. Was he a hoarder .. No. He would every day get up at 5 am and hoe his garden for an hour before the heat of the day overtook the farm.. It was very quiet and peaceful and he could think ... He Liked to hoe and hated weeds .. At the time of the story he was in his mid 89's
My girlfriend likes to can food , She says she is in a happy place preparing everything for the pressure cooker. One talks to some folks and canning is a lot of work.. Just like the fellow hoeing ...Not work but enjoyment.
I think back yo a story about a woman that had a closet full of toilet paper. Her grand son asked her why such an odd thing to do ... She answered she was in Holland during WW2... For 3 years there was no toilet paper to be had... She said Never again..
