(11,489 posts)I understand people like target shooting and hunting. But for hunting you don't need 1000 rounds of ammo. When you get your hunting license, you should get a license for X number of bullets/shells, say 5 or 6. If you want to practice, you go to a shooting range. You can buy ammo there but have to account for whatever you use and can't take any out.
We can't keep crazy people away from weapons. We just have to restrict the amount of damage a crazy person can do easily. Sure they might be able to get 5 hunting licenses and save up for 30 bullets, but during the time it takes to amass a stockpile, at least there is a chance they may come to their senses.
I know farmers/ranchers may need weapons for varmint control, so there would need to be some exceptions.
Maybe just licensing ammo purchases would do it. You buy a license for 10 rounds a year for personal use, and you get no more unless you have a hunting license or are firing at a shooting range.
