Needs that amount of ammo. Those for gun rights should go after ammo instead of guns. The right to bear arms doesn't say anything about your arms being loaded. Kapow works well when shooting someone to let them know you shot them.


Some gun fanatics are also pro-life idiots. So why not fuck with their rights for a change. Make them jump through hoops to keep their sacred guns loaded. If we regulate ammo it would help eliminate more deaths due to guns.
