We've all seen news reports where police have seized a large "cache" of ammunition from a person's home. The number of rounds is usually in the 1000's, and naturally a few guns are found also. The other circumstances of the alleged crime are sometimes not even mentioned in the same news story. Of course, this implies that the suspect's crime is possesing a large amount of ammo, but I've never seen a law cited by the media that says there is a limit to how much ammo a person can own.
Are there any laws - anywhere in the US - that specify ammo limits? It wouldn't surprise me to learn that CA and some New England states have them, but the "ammo cache" news reports seem to come from everywhere.
Or is the media simply trying to scare the sheeple and/or 'enforce' laws that aren't even on the books?
I know - many of us here think these reported numbers are merely a Sunday afternoon supply at the range, but to the average Joe, they get quite scared that someone has that much lead and brass lying around.
