It isn't the guns, it's the bullets.

Well, isn't this a novel idea?

I don't think I have seen such a profound misunderstanding of guns or gun ownership in America since

I think somebody left the pen open at yonder farms. I smell a lot of BS

Actually, I'd have expected no less based on the source.

Does this mean I have to cancel my magazine subscription?

What a retard.

From my limited understanding of gangbangers, they go through a very small amount of ammo. A handful of rounds lasts them years. Once again, this would only affect lawful gun owners.

Yeah well, we're a lot easier to fuck with.

Ahhh, I see, magic bullets.

Heres a funny story, and absolutely true.
A friend of mine was a cop near Buffalo NY.
A few years ago he caught a 17 year old kid with a very old 12 gauge coach gun. It was loaded with 1 CARDBOARD shotgun shell.
My buddy asked where he stole the gun. The kid said he didnt steal it, the cops said, " shut the fuck up, where did you steal it?"
It ended up that it was stolen from an old guy in the Southerntier.
The owner said that that cardboard shell was the only ammo he had for that gun.

LOL, STUPID idea. the AVERAGE gun owner probably has 50 to 100 rounds for their firearm. To the AVERAGE person, thats a lifetime supply. Once a firearm is sighted in, assuming the owner doesn't drop it or bang it up, 50 or 100 rounds is probably more than enough to last YEARS.

I have purchased about 120 rounds of 45-70, 300gr, and 400 grain ammo, my gun is sighted in at 100 yards. it took me about 20 rounds to sight it in. At $2 to $2.50 PER ROUND, Im not going to run out and just burn up ammo. so 120 rounds should last me a few years. same for all the other guns, except for my Glock 22 and Rugar LCP, those I tend to shoot every couple weeks, so I have more ammo for those

 

[meketrefe]

They do not know what a plastic sabbot is.
And for manufactures retioling for ammo isnone of the easiest things there is.
Whst a bunch of goons wasting time amd dollars screwing around

 

[ManrisFrack]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I love shooting and loading weird calibers.

 

[repete]

I guess they never heard of reloading or sub caliber adapters or hoarding! Hmmn that brings up question I have a large supply of ammo some might even say I hoard ammo, so does that make me some kind of whore?

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

As stupid as it sounds...

This is our future in 2020/2021 if the Dems win.

Sure it's funny to joke about but it's not funny.

Here’s what would happen if the manufacture of today’s standard-size rounds were outlawed, and .21, .37, or .43-caliber rounds took their place: Eventually, gun owners would run out of the old ammo, and their weapons would become paperweights.

 

[Twogunwilly]

I ran out of ammo once or twice, third time will never happen.

 

[Bozo]

Amazing the idiocy newspapers will print these days.

 

[Shadow2]

What did they say buy more ammo? OK sounds like a plan.

 

[GoodGuywitha9mm]

...and (wait for it) yet those dangerous bullets are purchased by and inserted by... (wait for it) PEOPLE!

That's like saying cars are dangerous because of the gasoline. SMH

 

[HIghlander]

Pistol slide could be machined to accept new ammo. Magazine would still work. Revolver wheel machined to new caliber as well. Really dumb shits who don't think beyond the dim bulb going on when they have a idea.

 

[Phauxtoe]

What a retard.

hey i used to shoot with a retarded man, he would take offense to being associated with these asshole know nothing politicians!
(why don't they learn about the subject before trying write and pass laws on said subject?)

I think the only calibers I don’t have 1500 rounds of are 22TCM and 35 Remington. The rest I either have the components to make them or already loaded them. 1500 rounds is just 3 days worth of range time.
