Bullets and Guns

In all discussion of the carnage wrought by the 200 million guns in these United States, all we seem to hear is “gun control.” I think we are missing the point. It’s too late to control guns by controlling manufacture and sales. So let’s consider this: “Guns don’t kill people . . . bullets do!”

An unloaded gun is not a dangerous weapon, so let’s limit or reduce or eliminate the manufacture of ammunition. Let’s drastically restrict the sale of bullets and perhaps lay a huge tax on them as well; 200 million guns are not so terrifying if only a few of them are loaded.
