Hm. Wouldn't control over the ammo meet with as stiff a resistance as control over the gun? Hasn't that happened with limitations on the size of the clip? I'm trying to figure out how this would be done.
I've always thought guns that aren't legitimate hunting weapons should be banned and safety and skill classes should be required before…

I've always thought guns that aren't legitimate hunting weapons should be banned and safety and skill classes should be required before a license could be obtained. In CA some years ago that was true. In places where that's not going to happen then maybe such classes could be required before being issued the first hunting permit? Not something that would catch every gun owner, but something that would hopefully improve the culture of gun ownership.
Yehawes, I totally agree with you on classes and licensing. Canada is even more strict about the whole thing, including mandatory membership in a state approved gun club, with recertification intervals and mandatory hours of club instruction. You don't hear about too many mass shootings up there.
Either our politicians have already looked at controlling ammo instead of weapons and found good reasons not to try--or they have decided not to do it because "it's never been done before."
I admit that I haven't done any heavy research on the idea so far; but my brain keeps thinking it could be possible because "it's never been done before."
I am really scared that if Beto loses the election in Texas it will be because he is straight-up for banning assault weapons (like most of us). IN TEXAS. He could be thinking that the time is right because of Uvalde. I am sending money to him, but I will be crushed if a bold and brilliant man loses and Texas remains in the dark ages....
Thanks! You jump-started my brain again. What about: you can have as many assault weapons as you want to, but you can only buy so many rounds annually for each one if you bring proof that you purchased and registered that weapon in the same state. All ammo purchases uploaded to a state database by serial number. Something like that? Well, I'm a free subscriber so I will read your reply if there is one, but I'm not able to pay to subscribe YET. All monies going to various D. candidates right at the moment.

Many thanks to our host!
There might be resistance but there is no Constitutional Amendment to worry about.
