Yeah, Liberal progressives have been trying THAT one for awhile it seems. Either by Taxing, background checks, or some bogus legistation that is nothing more then backdoor gun control. Something which they appear to might be successful at in the People's Republic of California soon enough. A background check to buy ammo. Seriously? Yeah, that'll work.

(seriously, it passed their senate)

Apparently the PRC doesn't like the revenue that ammo purchases can make, because everyone who owns a firearm will then buy ammo in a neighboring state like Arizona or Nevada, or contact a relative who lives in a free state to buy the ammo for them, or they will get into reloading. It's already crappy enough as it is over there with major price gouging for ammo. For my own mother, I bought 500 rounds of .38 special and 250 rounds of .357 magnum, for a helluva lot cheaper then what she could get it for in California. For my uncle, i bought reloading dies that he was unable to find in california because all reloading supplies have been bought up.. He already has enough saved up to reload several thousand rounds, all he needed was the dies. I was happy to help.

You know why there's a nation wide ammo shortage right now? No, it's not DHS buying up millions of rounds. The reality is, everyone and their brother's sisters cousin's ex roommate is buying up the ammo, for fear of the type of legislation mentioned above.

Some are buying up the ammo and reselling it at ridiculous sums for a profit, others are simply stocking up for whatever reason. It is not uncommon for some folks to have upwards of several thousand rounds saved up in their basement. Most I ever heard of was 10,000 rounds or so, give or take. I myself, have 980 rounds of 5.56 NATO saved up for my wife's rifle, and 600 rounds of 7.62 NATO and .308 win saved up for my rifle, with several hundred rounds of 9mm saved up for our handguns. (on the stockpiling scale, I am on the lower, more reasonable end of the spectrum believe it or not) I also, like a lot of people I know, have a reloading bench.
