    I mean the accent isn’t really relevant (though it would probably get a comment) but the large quantity of guns and ammo would raise suspicion.

      American Police: “Want to buy some guns? Go right ahead.”

      Also American Police: “Withdrawing more than $10,000 in cash to pay for it? Get’m boys!”

      iirc there a law where more than 1,000 rounds in one purchase would have a federal note that someone bought a lot of ammo, so people just started buying 999 bullets instead lmao

        I don’t know how many people actually care enough to try and game the system for getting flagged. I’ve never really heard that concern, especially considering buying 1k of ammo at a time is not as uncommon as it seems at first glance. Some sealed packaged ammo cans hold more.

        FWIW I bought 10k rounds at one time once and nobody from the government ever followed up.

        yeah, and I should have been clearer that I more meant the gun part. buying a lot of guns isn’t that concerning, but buying a bunch at once is.
