Reply #128: They won't do it themselves; they'll just buy them off some unscrupulous individual...

...just like criminals in Chicago, DC and NYC typically don't run guns across state lines themselves, but buy them off some enterprising spark who does. Similarly, such an enterprising spark might be willing to invest in reloading equipment in order to provide untraceable ammunition to his customers or, more likely, he'll smuggle ammunition in from, say, China or the former Yugoslavia. Or buy it from some corrupt cop who pilfers it from law enforcement stocks, as law enforcement will undoubtedly be exempt from any ammunition registration requirement, just like it's exempt from every other fucking gun law (which fact alone usually negates the justifications proffered for it).

I mean, fer Chrissakes, Hoyt, are you really that ignorant about the economics of criminal enterprise or are you just in denial?
