Someone should re-read their copy of the Constitution. Ammo isnt protected. rhett o rick Apr 2013 #24

Neither is your computer. To regulate/ban/tax ammo highly is subterfuge. Think... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #28

Arms = projectile + launcher pipoman Apr 2013 #38

So you are saying the Constitution guarantees that all citizens have the right rhett o rick Apr 2013 #42

Huh? What part of "well regulated" do you not understand??? madinmaryland Apr 2013 #30

I fully understand the definition pipoman Apr 2013 #37

So you understand that we can regulate. We just have to decide on how rhett o rick Apr 2013 #49

No,"we" won't be deciding anything.. pipoman Apr 2013 #52

You are probably right. We, society, want better gun control but rhett o rick Apr 2013 #76

Personally, I'd rather they raise the price on ammo to $5,000 a bullet… MrScorpio Apr 2013 #9

Because obviously there would not be a black market in ammo in that case? Recursion Apr 2013 #12

So basically, your argument is that regulations won't work, because people will break those laws? MrScorpio Apr 2013 #16

Facepalm Recursion Apr 2013 #20

Obviously, you're taking this crap a bit too seriously… MrScorpio Apr 2013 #23

Are you saying "responsible gun owners" wouldn't follow the law? baldguy Apr 2013 #46

If the price of ammo were set that high? Recursion Apr 2013 #69

No, you haven't, that's the problem Recursion Apr 2013 #84

So in your mind, America is a violent 3rd world country. Or should be. And that's why you need guns. baldguy Apr 2013 #85
