What makes you a "NUT" is the fact that you have over 8000 rounds of ammo.
What are you planning to shoot that you would need 8000 rounds handy? Isnt one box of a 100 enough for target practice at the range?
First, I said 800 not 8000. .22 ammo can easily be bought in boxes of 550. I left a half full box behind once and bought another. That's why I have over 800 rounds. It's just cost effective to buy in bulk usually. If boxes of 100 were the same value I'd do that.
Your question lacks depth.
A single question may, but I feel all of them have a reasoning behind them.
We and I, dont know anything about your mental state, your marriage, divorce, job, finances, family, sexuality or your use of alcohol or drugs. We do know about your political leanings, and that position is very dangerous as you are bombarded with rhetoric and diatribe that creates "FEAR".
You say all you know about me is I'm conservative. That alone does not constitute a damning mental evaluation that would exclude me from possessing a firearm.
I am sure, you will use the "this is the end of america as we know it" line, that is perpetrated by the right wing media outlets of this country.
That is simple generated fear.
Why dont you explain the "legitimate" need to purchase, and store 8000 rounds for a 70 year old gun? In a fire, that would be extremely dangerous for firemen. What are your "prepping" for by storing 8000 rounds?
As said, I have 800+ rounds, and when I can easily buy a box of 550 rounds at the local Walmart it's not unheard of for someone to have a partial box of ammunition and a full box aside from that.
Also in a fire, without a barrel directing the bullets the range is almost nothing for lethality. Mythbusters - Bullets Thrown Onto Campfire - Are They Lethal? - YouTube
Bullets in a Fire
- When a bullet is exposed to sufficiently high temperatures, the shell case will burst apart but the bullet will not travel at high speeds or go very far if it is not loaded in a gun. The ability of a bullet to cause injury depends on the speed with which the bullet is fired, and much of this speed depends on the fact that the bullet is being forced down a gun barrel. A loose bullet or a bullet in a cardboard box will not have the additional pressure of the barrel, so while it may fire it will not do so forcefully.

In my town, you dont see guns on gun racks in trucks or the neighbors clamming to find cases of bullets. We go about life without fearing each other.
You don't see them in my direct vicinity either, but in the condominium neighborhood I live in every so often you hear about a robbery or other such crime. Not exactly common, but they do happen.
Thats how life is supposed to be lived. If your life makes you feel like you need to have a gun on your person at all times, then you are living the "wrong" life.
When did I ever say I felt the need to have a gun in my possession at all times? I leave the rifle at home unless I'm headed out to the range or some other event where I know I will be shooting.
Peace
