    “Hopes and prayers, constitution ties our hands, we’ve done all we can do, it’s the parent’s fault, he played too much red dead redemption, if all the bus passengers had guns this wouldn’t have happened….”

    Start taxing the SHIT out of ammo, Chris Rock had a great idea, we just need to make it law.

      Modern countries did that with gas, and you don’t see us all driving about in fuel efficient cars instead of tiny-penis truc… Oh wait, as you were

        This is a gun thread. But if you’re implying that taxing gas has not stopped Americans from driving big ass trucks, realize that the USA does not nearly tax gas as much as other modern nations and in fact we subsidize it. In most other countries few people drive big ass trucks precisely because it’s so expensive.

      Ammunition reloading is already alive and well in America and an amazing money savings versus buying new. Saved brass is paid for an smaller caliber rounds are cheap, like a dime per bullet (.223); ultimately it would spread dirt cheap methods of self production and selling brass casings as something innocuous like “paper weights”.

      Gun nuts always find a way to circumvent law. See defining “assault rifle” for example.

        I’m sure this kid learned reloading his own ammo at some after school club or something, didn’t buy it off the interwebs.

        I concur. I used to work in the service industry in a non gun friendly state and still ran into two guys who made their own ammo. Also sold to friends.

        The ammo tax wouldn’t stop anything…

      ah, adopting HP’s business model (printer is dirt cheap, consumables cost an arm and a leg)
