150 is plenty to kill many though, plus if some stranger came to my gun shop and bought 6000 bullets in one go, i would be suspicious. wouldn't you?

10 Is enough to kill 10 people.   10 from Store A, 10 from store B, 10 from store C and 10 from store D is enough to kill 40 people.

And what makes one a stranger to a business?  Must you know every customer personally?

 

I mean what is the restriction was down to 200 bullets per purchase?  That wouldn't have prevented this tragedy at all.

 

And as I said, it's not uncommon for gun collectors and range shooters to purchase large quantities in one go.

what if they don't come from the same town as the shop owner or if it's the first time they met, they ARE a stranger then. Gun shops ain't like supermarkets, they only get a small amount of customers compared to say Walmart. AND those who collect and/or shoot for sport should have to prove it, i think that's reasonable. But to be honest there is no quick solution to this problem, although something MUST be done to sort it, especially since YET another massacre has occurred. this time in an attack against sikhs

Our problem isn't the guns, it's the intention behind the guns.   You don't solve a problem by banning.  That has never in the hsitory of this planet worked.  EVER.   You solve problems by learning the underlying motivations and dealing with that.

Bandaids don't fix a broken arm.
