"A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence."

I'm surprised this hasn't happened here. All of these courses which are mandatory in the workplace like conflict resolution, diversity training, sensitivity training, etc..The liberals buy into all of this attempt to regulate behavior.

People are pissed because they can't find the ammo to buy, not because they buy ammo. bumb ditches.

There is a more civilized way to handle this.

Every time I'm shopping for ammo it seems like there is a line of three or four people behind me. I always ask what they are buying. If it happens to be the same as me I propose we "divide up what's available".

4 people all buying 9mm with 8 on the shelf? Then ,we each get two boxes. I've never had anyone object to this and usually everyone is pretty cool with the idea.

Thank you for being kind. Better that everyone gets a little than none while another person gets everything in such a case.

Sorry, I can't comply with this due to the fact that I'm an old, limited income, disenfranchised American. Therefore I claim the right to not have to sign up for any classes, be charged license fees, or have to submit to any investigations into my life that require me to leave my area of comfort.

Another anti-gun lobby puppet. Perhaps better legislation would be to require intelligence and psychological exams before anyone can run for public office. Oof da.....
