1. I'll respond to a few points

1. What does increasing the cost of bullet accomplish? I guess we could make shooting guns as a hobby to expensive for poor people. That way only the rich can afford guns.

5. I agree with you. People need to be more responsible.

6. What is the problem with buying ammo online? I have bought ammo online, and it is more difficult. I had to submit a copy of my drivers license to prove I'm 18/21. This is not a requirement for face to face sales assuming you look old enough.

The reason I'm against gun control is becuase it generally does not work. What makes you think criminals are going to comply with gun control laws? How well does gun control work in Mexico? How well does drug control work in America?
