Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
I am going out on a limb and figure many of you have that many rounds in loaded magazines for one type of gun.
Swalwell would lose it if he figured out that a regular IDPA State Match would concentrate more ammo in one weekend than many police forces have out on the streets on any given day. And that goes double for the USPSA crowd.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Ugh… “Swallowswell” just needs to just go away. Freaking idjit.

Oh, please, Mr Swalwell, can we have another of your glorious ideas? Please, as many as you can possibly imagine before next November!
Laugh all you want. It would be fairly easy to implement a retail database monitoring and flagging any ammunition purchases of more than 200 rounds per time period, just like they already have with their war on pseudo ephedrine.
Imagine a hoplophobic police chief, and DA; or Democrat BATFE and US Attorney with these laws on the books? “We have reason to believe John Doe has more than 200 rounds of 9mm ammunition in his home as he has purchased 200 rounds each on dates a b c d e and f, for a total of over 1,000 rounds. We request a search warrant”. And since a package of 200 rounds is so small, how intrusive such a search would be? A search of your home, your vehicles, your vacation home, hunting shack, boat and ??? Remember how many gun people make jokes about finding rounds of ammo in the back seat or in the trunk? It won’t be a laughing matter if those half dozen or box of 20 stray rounds are found by the gun stasi and added to the two hundred you knew you had. (Do you think they won’t find your when the SHTF stash of 2,000 rounds of .223, and 1,000 of .22, once they start searching? Really?) It will be a felony gun charge…
And go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Sure, maybe you get probation the first time? The papers will report how the Prosecutor showed mercy to a first time offender. But what does that FELONY CONVICTION do to your gun rights? In the meantime, this law doesn’t even remotely affect Sumdood, who carries a stolen Glock with only twelve rounds in its 17 round magazine.
It would only be easy to implement such a database, if its intended victims let the criminals planning it to get away with it.
Hell, I have more than 200 rds for my hunting rifle.
How to argue with idiots about this law? Maybe we just apply the principles more broadly?
No one needs more than a twelve pack of beer or one (OK Maybe Two) bottle of wine… And there should be a 72 hour waiting period to discourage binge drinking. Drunks cause domestic violence and car crashes. Think of the children!
Everyone should be limited to no more than a pound of beef or pork or chicken. This is a common sense measure to prevent heart disease! But they can always possess unlimited fruits and vegetables.
People are driving around in cars creating Global Warming. We should limit cars to five gallon gasoline tanks. Think of the future children!
There should be a possession limit of two gallons of gas for your lawn mower and power equipment. If you need more than two gallons of gasoline to mow and trim your lawn, you are obviously a rich plutocrat that needs reeducation.
I use an electric lawnmower (zero emissions … At point of use!) so doesn’t that mean we can get an extra hot dog for BBQ day?
Yes, you do Boris.
An all organic veggie/soy hot dog.
Ymmmmm!
