        There is a level of sense to it. The problem in America is there are so many guns floating around everyone basically have to have a gun to gain parity. Additionally attempts to curtail them will result in a crime spike.

            Its a tricky one... as Chris Rock said .. the problem is not gun control its bullet control ! ... slap a massive tax on bullets... making them 1000% more expensive and then make these bozos think twice about shooting what would be the equivalent of silver bullets at poor innocents.

              I thought Connecticut was meant to be one of the nice, less insane bits? Obviously not.

                It's a big worry for me. I have to decide whether to move here next year and put my kids into the American schooling system. It's the one big concern for me. I just don't like their school system & I'm not sure I want to my kids into it. Seems an age of innocent lost.

                  1000 rounds of unjacketed .22 long .... $18.

                    Most septics I know who are into guns have the kit to not quite make their own rounds but repack or whatever from the parts if that makes sense?

                    I suppose that makes the even ammo cheaper and harder to control.
