Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun control hypocrisy at its best [View all]Clames
(2,038 posts)91. That is the key word. Unfortunately you lack the understanding to put it in full context.
To put it simply, laws that would require reporting of arbitrarily defined "large" ammunition purchases and those that ban online sales have the net effect of limiting how much ammo one may buy. Considering many of the proposed laws would require such reporting when buying a single brick of .22lr ammo (about 500 rds). You might be under the impression that laws cost little or nothing to enforce and setting up a data base to collect such information is similarly cheap. Wouldn't be the first time you've been wrong here too. So since the costs of such legislation would be tacked onto the cost of ammo the obvious side-effect is less ammo purchased (your grade school economics class would have helped figure out this one).
