Required license to buy ammo!

Why not?

That's what happened here. You can now get prison time for owning a single unfired case in a calibre for which you don't have a licence.

Why should the antis make anyone else exempt from their insanity?
 
We had something simular here in CA a few years ago. Had to sign for it. They were going to keep track of who bought what. Seems it became an accounting nightmare. They had to give it up.

the People or Government.

Hawaii should be going to the 'prove you have a firearm in that caliber before you would be allowed to spend your money on ammo' soon.

When I left, the cheapest place on that G*d forsaken island to buy ammo asked for your address and phone number. I offered my boss's address and number, 212 456 1414, 1600 Penn. Ave.

I never had anyone catch that.

Very strange.

You mean you REALLY thought they wouldn't go after ammo?

The important thing is to make it a nighmare - for people who shoot regularly, that is. The average person would think purchase/possession of 1000 rounds is for raving lunatics - you don't "need" that many. Hunters won't care, their rifle bullets are expensive and they don't shoot for speed/that much. Of course, a pistol afficianado will use that in 2/3 months. I guess for an IPSC competitor that's about half a day's practice

They'll have an easier time banning quantity purchases of ammo/prohibiting mailorder than they do with guns. Just too easy.

1000 rounds? I shoot that in two range sessions. Thank god I reload 90% of the ammo I shoot. The other 10% being defense ammo. After banning ammo, they will ban reloading supplies. This maddness will never cease if we allow them to trample on our rights!

Bruce - someone sent me a page of a Townsville (North Queensland) newspaper (article unlrelated to guns/violence); but on the back side was an article about a guy who broke into a house, tried to rape a woman, who then "reasoned with him" sufficiently that he walked out of her room calmly, then took a 4 year old girl from the same house to under the house and so*omi**d her.

He got 12 years for it (probably be out in 18 months though). I DO hope that his sentence is higher than firearms possession.

I wanted to send this back to lil' Johnny Howard, and congratulate him on his statement "self-defense is not a reason to own a firearm", and for making Australia safer. Thanks to his policies, noone was "shot" or killed - everyone survived, with little more than a 4 year old girl's "slight" mental anguish/emotional scarring and a piece of crud who was probably out of jail before I even got the news article.

I decided not to send this. I s**t you not, Australian government has become one that you do not criticize lightly - certain regimes are such that, even if you criticize them from afar, they have a habit of taking it out on the "perpetrator's" family, and I still have family there - and who knows I may get sucked into visiting to go to a wedding/funeral or something.

Greencard lottery, Bruce, Greencard lottery.


God Bless Texas.

In Illinois you need a Firearm Owners I.D. to purchase ammo. Technically, you can't even look at a gun at a gun store without a FOID, but most of the stores don't ask.

Especially now that ASIO has been given the power/authority/right by Federal Parliament to hack into the computer(s) of anyone they think may be producing, inter alia, "subversive" material.

Scary stuff. I will have to think seriously about retaining my links with groups such as TFL.
