“Limiting the quantity and duration between purchases of ammunition is one step in preventing someone with criminal intent from easily accessing large quantities of ammunition,” Ms. Persaud said in a statement.

If enacted, the legislation would place strict limits on the number of bullets a gun owner can purchase over a 90-day period, and ban gun dealers from selling ammunition for a firearm to anyone unauthorized to own such a weapon.

You watch, somewhere in the bilge of that douchebag idea will be an exemption for Ammo purchased and used at the range, with the proposer having association with said range or Ammo provider...

"How many rounds do they expect a police officer should use at the range in three months to stay proficient?"

Based on the legendary poor marksmanship by the NYPD, I wouldn't be shocked if they average about 4 rounds per month.

Ah for the olden days of NYC!

And the 1930s

More dumbass “static scoring” by the retarded liberal progs. Obviously, mommy never told the retards how the black (in the non-racist sense of the word) market works.

You KNOW they want to try this nation wide.

When they get it passed and Otraitor signs it, the CIVIL WAR IS ON.

I just read an interesting anti-gun editorial from LIFE MAGAZINE, May 10, 1968. It is the one with Paul Newman on the cover. Before Bobby Kennedy was shot.

Sounds like the same dreck they are bawling about today. Same promises and all. except those EVIL military rifles they wanted to ban then were 5 shot bolt action rifles.

I have thousands of rounds if you want to pay.

Such a thing would be civil war.

Wanna bet? Never happens.

People who come up with these silly schemes should learn something about what they're legislating. For instance, what they are referring to as bullets, are cartridges.

These are bullets:

All owners are firearms should understand what causes a shot to be fired.

These idiots must have been dropped on their heads onto s very hard delivery room floor.

"...As long as people have unlimited bullets for clips in their full-auto assault revolvers, we need greater commonsense gun legislation..."

[smokingfrog]

ban gun dealers from selling ammunition for a firearm to anyone unauthorized to own such a weapon...

What weapons? How do they know? You'd have to have gun registration for that, right?

[bunkerhill7]

I buy all my ammo in Vermont, take it across the ferry to NY state.

That's about right.

You have to laugh (or hang your head in disgust) every time one of those TV ads comes on touting NY State as business friendly and trying to lure business into the state.

Here they are trying to pass a bill that will drive business away from local gun shops and ammo sellers to willing sammo sellers out of state.

If shooters can’t buy their ammo at the local gun shop or Wally World they will go on line or across the state line.

This bill, if it becomes law, will probably cause more than a few locally owned businesses to close their doors.
