In reply to the discussion: Buying ammunition in DC [View all]Straw Man
(6,647 posts)221. Let me explain something to you very plainly.

So you don't think that someone buying ammo for a gun they don't legally own is not a threat to my community or yours?
You are either laboring under a serious misapprehension or you are trying to misrepresent my argument. Your implication is that the person buying said ammo is purchasing it to use in a gun that he or she possesses illegally. It has been clearly explained to you several times that there are many reasons to purchase and possess ammo for a gun that one does not own at all. There is no gun. Please acknowledge that you understand this fact. Then tell me how possession of ammo without a gun presents a clear and present danger to the public.

You are hiding behind laws. Some things just aren't right, even if legal. And laws can be changed

I once bought a few hundred rounds of 6.5 x 54 M-S because it was for sale at an absurdly low price.
