In reply to the discussion: So, what's the problem with background checks and sales records for ammo buys? [View all]ManiacJoe
(10,136 posts)45. You have an odd definition of "large".

> 1000 rounds .22 LR
> 100 rounds everything else.
Your suggestion is 2 bricks of .22lr and 2 boxes of handgun ammo. Hardly "large" by any stretch.
Anyone who pratices on a regular basis is buying ammo by the case (1000 rounds) for the bulk discount.
However, I would give you that any mulitple cases of a single caliber might be worth flagging, if there was a reasonable reason for doing so.

Anyone who shouldn't have ammunition should either be in prison or a mental hospital

The same as all gun laws....it's about control. They don't like what they can't control.

I think it is a great idea. We need to keep lists on everybody about every little thing they do.
