See what happens, you make bullets scarce and people buy -moar guns-..., so they can use whatever meager collection of ammo remains, lol. Had to cut back a bunch on shooting though, since I can't pop em off for 5cents a shot anymore. Really sucks. Get more time with my black powder rifle, now, though. I just go fish the balls out of the tree stumps, and they;re unlikely to stop selling fishing sinkers anytime soon...lol.
When I still had my 1911, the defense loads were 2.50$ a shot.
You were buying them at the wrong places. This place has CCI gold dots and Federal HST for about $0.60 a round for a 50 count. They didn't hit a dollar even in the fallout of Sandy Hook. 22 has gone through the roof, but I can still buy SK standard plus which is my 22 of choice for 12 or 13 cents a round.

Agreed, except we test and license drivers and register cars and insist that they carry insurance.

I would support similar laws for gun ownership.

They'd throw you out of the NRA if you hadn't already quit.

Perhaps. While I support guns and gun ownership, I can accept logical limits. The NRA is borderline extremist in their views. They seem to have an all or nothing sort of mentality.

Which is a great -bargaining- position. You can come down from crazy and still get what you want...lol.

lol.
I want people to agree with me that guns are ok to have and to use. I feel that the NRA pushes away a lot of people who would otherwise be supporters.
NRA - "If I don't have this belt fed water cooled .50 browning bmg capable of leveling a city block in under 10 minutes, the terrorists win"
ME - 'but you're an accountant living in the suburbs...'
Now if that was a highly customized wilson combat 1911...

THE NRA supports the interests of the gun manufacturers. No one else.
