In reply to the discussion: Call me a gun grabber, I don't give a shit [View all]Joseph8th

... the 2nd Amendment is the LEAST important of our Constitutional Rights. Especially after the invention of the assembly line, it's ridiculous to mass-produce this type of weaponry. The argument for self-defense is shot full of holes (thanks Brady Campaign) -- most deaths by gun in self-defense situations are the victim dying with a bullet from their own gun (taken away by the more aggressive attacker). The argument for a well-regulated militia is shot away by two facts: (a) show me a "well-regulated" militia, and (b) where's my right to keep and bear an F-16?
Basically, we need to regulate the fuck out of bullets, if they won't let us regulate guns. Chris Rock had it right: slap a 1000% tax on every bullet sold. Oughta do the trick.
