READY FOR WAR Leftist gunman had 200 rounds

I'd expect to hear this kind of over the top reporting from MSNBC, not that I have a high opinion of Fox either.

That's not even a good day at the range!

Poorly written and edited article. You have to remember that there are only so many journalism schools out there and from what I see, they are all "owned" by the left. The fact that this particular person happens to work for Fox News doesn't guarantee that there is any more understanding of the 2nd Amendment, guns, normal amount of ammo or have the deductive reasoning power to figure out why a person living out of a van might return to a storage locker (clothes, supplies etc.) multiple times or frequent a YMCA (showers and laundry services).

Everyone connected to commentary of the current political environment are completely breathless and outraged - they have to be to satisfy the audience they are serving. If they weren't that audience would dismiss them.

Not a lot of room for rational, reasoned, calm, well thought out rhetoric these days. Sad State of Affairs.

I agree about Fox. The day after the shooting, Fox reported on air it was "a .762 bullet powerful enough to take down an elephant". Yes, I'm serious. Smh.

I don't setup my progressive press to make less than 2000 rounds of any given caliber. I typically have 15k-20k rounds of pistol ammo loaded spread across the various calibers.

By golly we must all be terrorists, why else would we own all those guns and have that much ammo.

These days they ought to require anyone writing about firearms to take a class and get a passing grade.

Well, lots of elephant are killed with the .30 commie short, so that doesn't say much for the power of the cartridge.

At various reunions and get togethers with my mom's side of the family the women would always be complaining that the men had too many lures, rod and reels, guns, ammo, tools...

Problem was all of the women sewed, crafted, crocheted, knitted...

Somehow it is a totally different thing when it is mentioned all the yarn, fabric... that they have accumulated.

With the left they try to portray firearms as only good for violence. They do not want to show the sporting, hobby, defensive, hunting, or hobby side of firearms.

Some of those lefties may have hobbies but they do not see ammo or firearms as tools or as something equating to a hobby nor pastime.

Between all I have stored up, in the 7 calibers I shoot, I would probably be considered a warlord in the media's eyes. And since I have a loading press in the garage, I must be arming up for a revolution.

Crap, have a 4 press setup so my usual calibers each are set to go and 4th is changed to do all the others. Going to jail for sure not to mention file cabinet 3 draws full of loaded ammo. Hell, 200 rounds don't fill all of my CZ mags.

200 rounds isn't even a 'patrol load' for mounted infantry - one troop of a squad. :lol:
