It is beyond time to put limits on guns and ammunition. We should follow the lead of the New Zealand Prime Minister and just ban assault weapons. Enough is enough.

because if you need more than that to practice shooting your gun, you don't need a gun.

I've gone through several hundreds of rounds of ammo target shooting for fun in a DAY. Twenty a month sure isn't going to cut it. I'd have to save up for five months to make shooting worth it.

No, not practical.

Have we really come to a society where the children are the bosses that make the rules and decisions for law biding adult citizens!!! What is this country coming to?

this is a very stupid bill by individuals that have no knowledge of target shooting or sighting a firearm in before hunting and numerous other reasons that I can name.

The ownership of firearms is a Civil Right that belongs to all citizens. The private ownership of firearms is not the root cause of violent behavior in this society.

Limiting legal purchases has no affect on criminals or criminals use. Stop trying to punish law abiding citizens for criminals actions

This law will not stop a single crime...….. Again you come for the law abiding person. How about reloading ammo. does not limit them to 20 rounds a month.

Silly! Practice is key with anyone who owns a gun. 20 rounds a month would limit the ability to practice efficiently.

Sometimes zeroing a rifle with a new scope takes a large amount of amo. Further target practice requires more amo to become proficient at the sport of target shooting.

It's unconstitutional and would leave us vulnerable. Also the Pittman Robertson Act of Federal Excise taxes on firearm and ammunition sale for ODF&W and Conservation is Oregon would evaporate.

It is unpractical for gun owners to be limited to such a small amount of ammunition. For a CCW or hunter or for folks that own guns for self protection, they need to practice to be proficient.

This proposal is impractical and counterintuitive. To remain competent and safe in any skill or endeavor takes practice. A serious shooter spends hours per month shooting hundreds of rounds.
