Agreed.
I don't know, never heard of someone reloading their .22 or 9mm rounds. They're actually cheaper to buy from a retail store than you could reload them for.
For me, it gets back to the ridiculous defence of some of these proposed limitations. There is NO need for magazine capacity larger than 5-10 rounds, other than to equip battle troops. There is no need for automatic weapons, and there is no need for replica assault rifles.
You can say you're losing a small calibre, or you're shooting varmints etc, etc, but it's all bull.
Like in the aurora thread, I feel dirty responding as someone with an intest in firearms. I don't want my access to firearms prohibited, but then, I'm also a firearm 'enthusiast' with zero interest in automatic weapons, carbon fibre chassis', and various means of circumventing or meeting the bare requirements of firearm ownership like barrel length or round capacity.
