San Francisco officials are planning to ban the possession of hollow-point bullets and require notification of the police for any single purchase of more than 500 rounds of ammunition.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, City Supervisor Malia Cohen is introducing the ordinance in response to last Friday’s deadly shooting in Connecticut of 20 school children. …

Actually, I think everyone in the Bay Area should go into SF to buy their ammo. Swamp the SFPD with paperwork and make it impossible for them to track anybody.
Federal state and local governments will enact all kinds of draconian laws, then after they realize the cluster they’ve caused, they will backtrack and reverse some laws(we can hope although I’m not encouraged). Some ugly legislation will pass and stay passed.
Be lot of 499 buys ......
With a “free” bonus of 1 extra round
I've got bricks of .22LR as bookends holding up my reloading notebooks. I had to reinforce the subfloor where most of my .22LR is stored.
I think I've got enough .22LR.
Now .22-250... I could use a lot more of that, and 12 ga #2 rounds. ;)

This will make Barney Frank (in another thread) happy: when hollow-point bullets are outlawed, only the government will have hollow-point bullets.
As a former denizen of the area (left about 2 years ago), I remember that SF drove the last gun shop out of town with the passage of proposition H which banned all handguns (now overturned) in the city. As a result, that shop moved to Pacifica and is now called Pacific Arms. I don’t think there is any commercial entity to effect with this decree. Maybe if you buy off the internet you’ll need a permission slip from the police, but otherwise it is business as normal.
I have a few boxes of Federal .22LR ammo that was purchased in 1963. I take out a couple of dozen rounds each year or so and shoot them. Never had a misfire. They were left over from my birthday present of 10,000rounds that year. Best birthday present ever. I shot all but about a brick before I went away to college. I found them about 20 years later, still stored in a Government steel ammo box on a shelf in the basement of my parents home. Properly stored, any ammo will last longer than you will.
BTW, you can store 5,000 rounds of .22LR ammo in a standard .50cal ammo box. 8 bricks stored vertically. Then break down two of the bricks and place the individual boxes between the top of the bricks and the bottom of the lid. Works perfect.
I bought another 10,000rounds when a local store closed out nearly 20 years ago. Filled two .50cal ammo boxes. My father also bought 15,000rounds at the same time. A few years later I inherited almost all of the ones my father bought. I am down to one and one half .50cal ammo boxes of .22LR now. Getting close to fill up time again — but, after this buying frenzy is over.
