The 10,000 rounds was an arbritary figure set by some congressman or
beaucrat. Most people may buy a box of 50 or 100 (more only if they target
shoot a lot and can get a bargain). One good shot can kill a elephant. The
sniper takes only one shot because if you take a 2nd, it gives the alerted
witnesses the direction to look.

Hi Bobby,

  I am not trying to be insulting - I am trying to figure out what is
reasonable? How much ammo does one normally keep on hand? If 8,000 rounds is
normal than 10,000 would be good figure for licenses. However as I own no
guns buy no ammo, don't hunt or even target practice - I have no basis for
comparsions - I am just asking for you guys to educate me here. I know my
Dad has one - his weapon from when he was an active duty officer. I have
seen it - I was told to never touch - so I never have. My ex-husband has
guns - again I was given explicit instructions to never touch them. Being an
idiot - I do as I am told. I was taught to shoot by my father. I have done
tin cans on stumps as fun - as a vistor to my ex-brother-law. I personally
have no knowledge on the gun laws or amounts or ammo a weapon takes. Frankly
- I know if someone wants something badly enough they can get - legally or
not. The pawn shop a couple of blocks from my house has guns - pistols and
rifles. I believe its not the weapon that kills its the human behind it.
People should be illegal!! LOL
