SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Authorities said they removed nearly 80,000 rounds of ammunition from the home of a South Bend man who warned that the world was going to end.

But that wasnt the cause for the removal - he violated the terms of a restraining order

I know folks with half that amount who feel the same way - no law broken.......much to the dismay of democrats

"....when the price of ammo jumps - once again - later in the year."

ATK, Remington and Winchester have announced a 15% price increase effective tomorrow - not later in the year. The "Hillary Panic of 07" is well underway. The ammunition manufacturers are back ordered many months. Some law enforcement agencies can not obtain ammunition.

Somewhere (”Seven myths of gun control” by Richard Poe(?))
I seem to recall reading that according to federal law you cannot keep weapons if you are under a restraining order. Doesn’t sound right (and this is “weapons”, not “ammunition”), but who knows?

Anyone can take out a restraining order against you. Under this scenario, you can force the entire state to disarm if all it takes is to get a restraining order in order to make ammo illegal.

>>>he violated the terms of a restraining order

As far as I understand, anyone can take out a restraining order on someone. The article doesn’t say if it was a temporary one (without a court hearing) or a perminent one.

And if he was found to be a threat to himself or others, he could have been committed; but he wasn’t.

“...South Bend man who warned that the world was going to end.”

Did he specify a date? If not, the guy is correct.
