(5,417 posts)The shooting range I go to is small, and usually there is no staff there. So your plan would require them to pay for a full time employee, plus stock every possible ammo caliber.
I think a lot of people don't realize how many bullet calibers there are. There are so many that keeping them all on hand would be impossible at a small range. Plus, its nice to hand load ammo, since it can be tailored to your gun, to be more accurate, and its cheaper.
So the problem with your plan is its not possible. Plus, people have the right to have ammo at home for self defense, which has been upheld by the supreme court. Even if that was overturned, I doubt a criminal who is going to go on a mass shooting would be deterred by having to steal a box of ammo at the range. Its not like it would be difficult, since everybody at the shooting range carries a bag, and I doubt shooting ranges are going to start checking every bag as people leave.
