The grabbers are doing their end-around and legislating bullets.
“State lawmakers from Brooklyn announced on Monday new legislation aimed at tightly restricting the sale of ammunition in New York,” brooklyeagle.com reports. “The Senate and Assembly bills were drafted in an effort to keep potential terrorists from stocking up on ammo, according to sponsors state Sen. Roxanne Persaud and Assembly member Jo Anne Simon.” Yeah, right. Skipping all the yada yada yada, we learn that the amendment to the SAFE Act would
limit Empire State gun owners’ ammo purchasers to twice a gun’s capacity every ninety days. As the Eagle points out . . .
While the measure is aimed at owners of assault rifles, the language contained in the draft legislation would also affect owners of handguns with much smaller capacities, such as six-shooters.
Since the measure would cap the amount of ammunition to no more than twice the amount of the capacity of the weapon every 90 days, these gun owners would be limited to buying a dozen bullets every three months.
This provision is likely to make the bill unpopular with everyday gun owners and advocacy groups including the National Rifle Association.
I’ve been reloading ammo to 30+ years.
I shoot about 500 rounds a month.
Do they mention reloading supplies?
I would just head to another state to stock up.
Fuck them
It will be called “The Barney Fife Law.” Fuckem is right. These fucking people have no brains. Their goal is to make law breakers out of decent citizens. Control brother, control is their goal.
Tommy, tell me what you need. I’ll UPS it too you. These people are fucking Nazis.
I think we’re well past the ‘civil disobedience’ phase of the Second Civil War. I wonder when the killing is going to start in earnest?
Now is the time to support the NRA:

Thanks Brad. But this will never pass. New York is a big State and some asshole from Brooklyn is not going to win out. In the City maybe, but not the State.
ISIS is crossing its fingers this bill passes…
In order to sight in a hunting rifle with a new scope, it might take 8 to 10 rounds or more (and many hunting rifle mags hold only 4 or 5 rounds). The good news is that I can now hit my target at 250 yards – the bad news is I have to wait 90 days before I can actually go hunting and by then the season is over for the year.
These leftists are so full of themselves that they think they can make up any excuse for passing unconstitutional, nonsensical laws and nobody will figure out what their real goal is. They see no irony in the fact that they are attempting to pass bogus laws that in themselves are illegal in a flagrant attempt to subvert the supreme law of the land which is the US Constitution (and the 2nd Amendment specifically in this case).
It’s instances such as this for which Jefferson prescribed watering the tree of liberty.
Jerry M. And so is every hoodlum in the country.
Tom – have you ever considered being a permanent snow bird? The southern states are still a pretty good place to live and if our politicians (even democrats) came up with this kind of trash, they would be removed from office in short order. I can buy all the ammo I want with no questions asked with no record of it in a govt. database, and guns aren’t registered either (you still have to do a background check, but it is illegal for the state government to retain the information).
If Hillary is elected, I forsee another ‘Million Man March’. But this time it’ll be us ” Bitter-Clingers” open carrying on the Mall. Can you imagine? I’d be happy to make the 15 hour drive.
The Insane Hussein is facing stiff competition for the title of “Gun Salesman of the Century.” This loony legislation will instantly give the “Ammo Salesmen Extraordinaire” title to Roxy and JoAnne.
I’m popping corn to watch this show. 🙂
While you’re popping corn, sister, Cabelas is popping champagne corks and toasting the flood of New York buyers heading to Hamburg, PA.
Back to the good ol’ days of empty ammo shelves. 🙁
We’re right behind New York, Brad – who’s gonna UPS it to us when WE need it?
They will never stop trying to be tyrants until we lock them up.
Bad, you are a hero.
True. Hunting is a popular pastime upstate.
UR too kind! (-:
Pity about all the NYers who listened to Joey Biden’s advice and bought double barreled shotguns.
Question: How do they confirm what your firearm’s capacity is?
Having, or claiming to have, 10 firearms that shoot the same cartridge can give you 80 rounds for hunting rifles that can hold 4 rounds and 10 handguns with “New York capacity” of 7 rounds can get you 140 rounds.
Don’t tell me everyone only has one gun.

Side trivia:
When Texas was at war with Mexico, they sent a call for Americans to join them in their fight. In the letter they stated you need to bring your own firearm and 200 rounds of ammo.
That 200 number they arrived at always intrigued me. It says so much.
This will not stop on-line purchases will it? If not it will only hurt NY stores selling ammo due to the fact that it will push everybody on-line to buy their ammo.
What ammo is sold in packages of 12? The smallest is almost always 20 for pistol and rifle and 25 for shotgun. So they think they will convince ammo manufacturers to change their packaging strategy?
Oh – I just realized they really don’t want us to have ANY ammo….

Like poor old Eric Garner, I guess the underemployed will be selling “onesies” cartridges.
“Psst … hey, buddy … want to buy a .30 carbine cartridge? Good stuff, too, not that Russian shit.”
What, exactly, is the capacity of an AR-15 rifle, say, or of any rifle that accepts magazines?
Is it 5 rounds? 10 rounds? 20? 30? 50? 100? 1000?
CORRECTION: The road to Hell is paved with hot tar, trust me. 👿
