In the event that Phil goes postal, probably the only person who will be at high risk is Toren.
He will survive the barrage of pellet gun rounds.

Stupid question possibly, I'm non-US based, is the sale of ammunition regulated, or just the firearm itself? How hard is it to get ammunition in the US, especially where he is?
The last thing a gun dealer is gonna do is sell a gun to someone with an ANTIFA shirt on. If something goes down the dealer would probably be dogpiled by his own clique for doing so.
shifty looking guys with hesitation in speech and manner not asking questions for the product, the paperwork, or the shop owner, in addition to paying with someone else's cash is kinda weird. cash alone isn't an indicator.
for many that are cash strapped, i generally point them at certain glock and 1911 "kits" i sell. includes the full size (or compact, depending) 9mm or .45, plus a .22LR conversion kit for inexpensive plinking. a firearm without ammunition is a useless lump of metal. a firearm without regular practice is a liability. $100 for a half case of 9mm is an average price, and unless you're blowing through it in a day, it'll last a month or more for the average shooter that fires off a mag or two on a weekend.
if you are more serious about shooting, you will budget for it and spend the money to meet your own needs. before i was doing it for a living, i probably spent $500-$1000 each month on ammunition alone. because i'm serious about my shooting.
one question i have is that if Phil is toting around a pellet gun, is he aware that any crime performed while he has one will be treated as if it were a real gun? some jurisdictions have a prohibition on any sort of weapon, pellet guns included, for carrying around as it's listed as a public nuisance ordnance. does he honestly expect to shoot a guy talking on his cell phone near him for "transphobia" then get away with it because "it's a loophole! it's not a real gun! neener!"?
Ammunition usually afaik isn't regulated, just hella expensive.
You can buy a flamethrower for the right price.
A lot of the the “cop killer” stuff is just meme rounds that are one ridiculously expensive two standard ball is good enough three. Just buy regular hollow points.Depends on the kind. There are some federal laws about armor piercing ammunition, and some states ban coating bullets with certain things like teflon. There's occasionally a controversy about kinds of bullets that are often called "cop killer" bullets (like Black Talons) by the media with little regard for what actual purpose they have.
some states regulate internet sale of ammunition. you do not usually need to sign for assembled ammunition - just the powder if you buy powder. ammunition is shipped as ORM-D pursuit to DoT requirements for packaging and transportation. powder (smokeless and blackpowder and substitutes) have slightly different transportation requirements as they are lumped in with other explosive material. i manufacture and sell ammunition, although i don't really ship it anywhere.You can buy ammo in the mail here, and have it shipped to you. Admittedly you are going to have to sign for it and shipping tends to be rather pricy, but its handy if you're like me and mainly use older firearms with calibers my dealer don't stock regularly. Especially if you keep an eye out for when you get a huge flood of old surplus ammo hitting the market, like the 8mm from Romania did a few months back.
current federal law for domestic manufacturing and sale precludes "armor-piercing" handgun ammunition from general sale to the public. armor-piercing being defined as a series of construction qualifications, and not on purpose or any actual ability to pierce armor. much like some states regulate the coloring of guns (preventing a manufacturer from making one that looks like a toy), i only know of a couple that forbid possession of various types of jackets on bullets. Alabama forbids brass/steel jacketed teflon coated projectiles for example, but that does nothing for teflon coated lead-alloy, or brass jacketed expanding hollow point bullets.Depends on the kind.

mostly true. in certain narrow circumstances you will want to use something other than ball, but for the most part, the 50 round boxes of generic "defense" hollow points are fine for use vs any of the really boutique ammunition. as always, you should choose the right ammunition for your target and firearm that is both affordable and reliable.A lot of the the “cop killer” stuff is just meme rounds that are one ridiculously expensive two standard ball is good enough three.

ha ha true, he has a thick enough layer of blubber to ward off the worst of itHe will survive the barrage of pellet gun rounds.
so even if its vandalism and he doesnt use it he could still get slapped with a gun charge?shifty looking guys with hesitation in speech and manner not asking questions for the product, the paperwork, or the shop owner, in addition to paying with someone else's cash is kinda weird. cash alone isn't an indicator.

possibly; but unlikely. a better example is brandishing at someone on the street - it would be an offense on the same level as if it were a real firearm.so even if its vandalism and he doesnt use it he could still get slapped with a gun charge?

ammunition, like gasoline, is an ongoing expense, that is part of firearms ownership. it isn't typically expensive outside of particular boutique cartridges. a small "brick" of .22LR is $6 or so. a box of 9x19 NATO is about $10, and a box of .308 Win is about $18. by contrast, something more exotic like .338 Lapua Magnum from Norma with a Sierra Match Game King bullet is about $4 per cartridge, or $80 for a box of 20.

generally, gun laws are written by people that are ignorant of firearms, so they are largely an incomprehensible combination of being expensive, impossible, or ineffective.
i remember when Winchester's Black Talons were on sale and withdrawn from the market. still have a few boxes. they were a Lub-A-LLoy copper/zinc metallic wax coated projectile meant to save weight, reduce price, and leave no copper fouling. some gangbanger got shot with a few, and the surgeon that pulled the bullets had some mouthpiece saying how awful they were to pull out due to them fragmenting badly in flesh (they were very shitty hollow points that flowered open in a way that let the wax coating split apart into sharp edged little "talons"). so there was a big outcry and they were pulled off the shelves... only for a better version to be sold as the Winchester Ranger-T not even a year later and of course, no one fucking cares except the bitter gunowners thrown under the bus by idiots yet again.

is there a link to when Phil was threatening the guy on facebook or whatever?
