Yeah he did.
Now let's take a closer look.
He had 3 containers of Crossman BBs. at 6000 BBs apiece that's 18,000.
There were also 4 bricks of .22 LR, a rimfire cartridge used mainly for target practice. It's the round kids shoot at camp. A brick is 500 rounds, times 4 equals another 2000 rounds bringing the total to 20,000.
There was also a 20 round box of .30-30 with 12 rounds left in it bringing the total to 20,012.
Total count of centerfire ammunition: 12 rounds.
And that's how we fool the public and make them feel safer.
The other stunt they pull is to lay out all the firearms they seize.
Sometimes they do round up an legitimate collection of sorts but not always. I've seen more than one collection of seized firearms laid out that had maybe one or two legitimate firearms in it. The rest of them were things like Daisy Red Ryder BB guns, airsofts and obsolete and antique weapons that they don't even make mainstream ammunition for anymore.
Of course somebody's grandmother looks at the collection and gasps because she doesn't understand or know what's going on. Grandma feels a little safer. She wouldn't if she knew that the bulk of the display were simply just kid's toys.
This crap has been going on for decades and I find it rather annoying and makes me feel a lot less of the department that does this kind of thing. It makes me think that if a depertment isn't honest then why should I?
