Meanwhile, FBI officials said leftist gunman James Hodgkinson had more than 200 rounds of ammunition at a local storage unit when he attacked Republican lawmakers as they practiced for the annual Congressional baseball game.

Timothy Slater, special agent in charge of the FBI Washington field office, said Hodgkinson, 66, had rented a storage unit in Alexandria started April 16, which he visited more than 43 times between April and June.

Also, Hodgkinson visited the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in mid-April and emailed Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., sometime between January 2017 and the shooting last week, the FBI said without elaborating.

200 rounds just a warm up, besides it’s the only thing the corrupt FBI has right.

Yeah, there’s probably 200 yards hanging out in my range bag. That’s just leftovers from the last trip.

200 rounds? Hell, I go through 200 rounds in the first 10 minutes at the range. The guy was a piker (thank God he was a poor shot).

You know it! I’ve been sitting here staring at it for several hours now, afraid to take my gaze off of it. At one point I think I did see a 9mm cartridge slide over to a box of .22lr and mumble something in low menacing tones. Other than that they’re just silently waiting for their opportunity.

200 rounds? That is about 45 minutes with my RL550 press. I always make at least 1000 rounds before changing caliber.

I dread the day the 7.62x25 makes the move to get out of the cans.

If you can do it without arousing suspicion get the key and
any other can opening tools and put ‘em in a locked drawer!

200 rounds?

He could probably keep shooting for 2 minutes!

Imagine if that nut-job that shot the Arizona Democrat Congresswoman had visited 3 conservative members of Congress the month prior to that shooting? Imagine the the ensuing Media circus that would have created!

Did the frigging cops count the casings or examine the mags? Don’t they know EXACTLY how many rounds were fired? Or is this just more sloppy reporting from journalists acting as gun-control activists?

Oh, 200 whole rounds, wow. Definitely a cereal killer in the making. Did he have a shoulder thingy that goes up?

Boy, it’s a good thing I never did anything that got me into the press.

Back when I was shooting competitively, I’d buy a couple of 8 pound canisters of powder, 10,000 primers, and 2500-5000 bullets at a time.

Would that have classified me as an armory? Or a private army?

I had to look but in the closest dest drawer here were over 450 rounds and two loaded pistols, dang. It’s a small drawer, too.
