When one looks at the state proposals in total - if enacted - we are rapidly approaching a point where the people could effectively be considered "disarmed."

Ask anyone who has tried to purchase any 9mm target stuff or .22LR at a retail store, lately.

FWIW, some handgun courses suggest a minimum 1,000 rounds or more for the course. A couple of courses and no ability to replace what you might have used in training and you are SOL. I can go through a couple of hundred rounds at the range, easily, just getting in a little practice before work.
