    Yep. Someone safely using their gun and teaching others how to safely use theirs can easily go through thousands of rounds in a pretty short time period. Someone murdering with one only needs a few rounds ever. Restricting ammo sale quantity only hurts safe and legal users.

      If it discourages people from owning guns or getting into guns as a hobby, then it makes society overal safer.

        Abstinence only education doesn’t work. Gun safety training is critical for safe use.

        Being against gun safety is an extremely counterproductive position.

          Critical for safe use, yes.

          But really who is actually using them for any real purpose beyond: 1 hunting for sustinence (not sport) 2 military 3 protection from wildlife

          How often do most gun owners actually do those things? How often do most people do those things?

          Doesn’t it make more sense that if you need to do those things, then you get the training before doing them?

          Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

          Try and be less American.
