Effing Americans and guns

Utterly tragic
There is a level of sense to it. The problem in America is there are so many guns floating around everyone basically have to have a gun to gain parity. Additionally attempts to curtail them will result in a crime spike.Originally posted by stek View PostResponse from an American 'friend'....

Its a tricky one... as Chris Rock said .. the problem is not gun control its bullet control ! ... slap a massive tax on bullets... making them 1000% more expensive and then make these bozos think twice about shooting what would be the equivalent of silver bullets at poor innocents.Comment

It's a big worry for me. I have to decide whether to move here next year and put my kids into the American schooling system. It's the one big concern for me. I just don't like their school system & I'm not sure I want to my kids into it. Seems an age of innocent lost.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Most septics I know who are into guns have the kit to not quite make their own rounds but repack or whatever from the parts if that makes sense?Originally posted by bless 'em all View Post1000 rounds of unjacketed .22 long .... $18.
I suppose that makes the even ammo cheaper and harder to control.Comment
