No need to be rude. I'm asking for legal understanding. I'm not arguing philosophy. I honestly haven't seen this question clearly answered in constitutitional precedent including Heller.
pknoop has already answered. Ammo is protect by the second like paper is protected by the first.

Bull. I posted what the court said. The court ruled that you can not pass a law stating that any gun in your house had to be inoperable. Any gun without ammunition is inoperable. You don't want a legal understanding.

You could have an operable firearm with one or a few bullets, not unlimited quantities. You don't need that many to protect yourself at home. Could the govt. limit possession to a certain amount?
I suppose the court might rule that you can't have a warehouse full but it would be a law without teeth. A person can make their own.
If someone wants a closet full, there is nothing you can do about it.
The Constitution guarantee's the right of individuals to secure a free state. How much ammunition do you suppose that would take?
CAVA just admit you are anti-gun and looking for any desperate angle you can to ban them.
I'm not anti-gun. I actually own a couple and one of my kids was a competitive shooter. I'm trying to understand the limits of constitutional protection of the content and quantity of ammunition. I didn't ask about prohibition, just regulation.

Wouldn't get much practice in to be a competitive shooter if we followed your lead and limited ammo now would you?
Hunters generally fire a few shots to sight in the rifle then fire only a couple while hunting then don't use the gun again until next hunting season. Target matches generally have boxes of ammo shot in one match, or in practice. S maybe that's why buying 1000 rds at a time isn't that far fetched. After all is some crazy going to be able to carry 1000 rds anyway? No he won't
The gun ban people's angle on banning or limiting ammo is to limit people from shooting at all because they don't want people to shoot period, it is not about safety.

Here is over 1k rounds of ammo, for those interested.
I have a right to free speech but that doesn't mean I can libel, slander, defraud, incite to riot, or yell fire in a crowded theater. All rights have limits.
But there are specific laws aginst that just as their are gun ammo laws o books.Its legal with restrictions such as age.
