Probably the opposite will happen. The demand is gonna go up because people can't get it online any more, so the price will go. I feel this is a step in the right direction anyway, gun laws in America are ridiculous. They should ban them altogether. The whole 'I need to defend my family' is a bullshit argument as well. Other countries are fine without guns, what makes you so special. | ||

There are studies and it's a fact that laws against guns makes the killing rates go down. How can you argue against SCIENCE!? | ||

I don't give a flying fuck about the "i need to defend my family" bullshit. Thats the reason God gave us the ability use fists. | ||

There's correlation, but no direct causality between the two. Removing weapons reduces killings, but it doesn't stop them. ergo; it's only a contributing factor. It's possible to argue that there are other/better methods than those that conflict with a free market. | ||

I mean, tough luck, it sucks for you but thats the way it should be. I want beer to be free, but its not. Who cares, move on. | ||

That you're not using it to kill people is a good thing, but it doesn't render government interest somehow unreasonable. | ||

This comes down to the fact that you're lazy, not that the law is stupid. You have a low cost alternative, but you're too lazy to do it. You should pay more. | ||

That you're not using it to kill people is a good thing, but it doesn't render government interest somehow unreasonable. Archery? Fencing? Martial arts? What do you think these were inspired by? I think there should be restrictions on specific types of weapons, likely not what the OP is using for sport, but I do think this law is unfair and will be quite ineffectual. If someone wants to buy bullets without being tracked, they can just have someone else do it for them. If the prices go up, it'll boost the secondary market that already contains less reliable/safe products. | ||

It's possible to argue that there are other/better methods than those that conflict with a free market. good post. thats what people should be thinking about. i somehow find myself liking both sides of this. the one says: the value of life can only be as high as the lowest price for 1 bullet. so why are people complaining at all? shouldnt they be celebrating? the other one says: maybe id be a good thing to have guns available for free to anyone, to have more murders and massacres occur until people realize that it is them who are screwed up, not the law. they dont seem to have noticed it yet at all, despite all the things that have happened. "guns dont kill people. people do." actually isnt that far from the truth. the problem for the legislature is to find an affordable (cheap) way to improve the situation, in this case reduce the number of shootings and armed robberies. less people will get hurt less, but the root problem, namely the impulse and willingness to harm or threaten others for your own benefit isnt touched by that at all. but you cant have people monitoring and counseling everyone to get rid of that (for practical reasons. i do think we should have something like that.)

The fact is that most Americans don't own guns, have never fired a gun, and will never be threatened by a gun, but it seems like every European and Canadian on the Internet thinks the US is the wild west with shoot-outs on the streets every day. Obviously there are Americans who dislike guns as well, but they never seem so vehemently against them. | ||

I sure as hell know that if professors were allowed to carry concealed weapons I wouldn't plan on shooting up a school and the school shootings that do and will continue to occur will be a lot less successful. | ||
