So yeah you can fire a bullet so many different ways, a rusty nail and hammer will do the trick. Isn't the real problem the frickin bullet?

I swear in Sweden or something, you can take a gun home but ammo is only sold and consumed at the range and not for taking home.

Sure, you can make this a hollistic approach regulating guns and ammo, but the ammo seems to be the bigger issue here. You can make guns easy peasy, but ammo is much harder to manufacture and easier to regulate.

It is absolutely insane listening to people in this thread talk about how the same people that rape girls on islands in all these countries political class should take total control of our ability to arm ourselves. It is either wicked evil or bottom of the barrel stupidity.
