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

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

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
