The gun grabbers are only interested in one thing.... grabbing guns. But you know that. I think keeping guns and AMMO away from criminals is a capitol idea. However driving ammo prices up $5.00 per purchase for a background check doesn't run a thrill up my leg. Yours? How about a better way to reach the goal. A once a year ammo background ammo check good for a year? Have no idea how to make that work. Background checks are not keeping guns away from criminals and maniacs, how would ammo back ground checks make a difference? I am not smart enough for this debate probably but I do know laws are basically about controlling the law abiding citizens as criminals could care less, the unfortunate insane are dealing with other voices in their heads.

I also am not smart enough for this debate. The simpleton in me thinks that everyone overthinks gun and ammo control. If you use a firearm in the commission of a crime... and / or you shoot someone during the commission of a felony, you go to jail. For a very long time. Fast swift justice. I however, am not smart enough comment on the intricacies of gun and ammo control. I'm just a poor boy from Hicksville TN.......

Ah, this thread right here is what separates COTEP from ALL the other forums.

Here we have the mental capability to have a discussion about an issue and NOBODY is getting all butt hurt or obnoxious with their opinions.

This is exactly why I love Cotep.

That's because I'm right, and you are short!!!!! ROFL ... Love ya Man! Commit a crime with a gun, go to jail for a very very long time. All these problems would stop "fast and in a hurry".

padre is right on this. Its not the gun and ammo issue here its the prison system is very broken. Our jails here in SD are FULL and we have 700 on home/work release and some on simple probation that really shouldn't be.......more to this than just gun issue, its a punishment issue....

bring back the chair......

Public opinion, lawyers and ultimately a judicial system trying to make criminals look like victims because " he is such a good boy"... harsher punishment that really get carried and making inmates WORK might help...

I understand where Ell is coming from but, I agree with . I don't need someone to approve my ammo purchases.

Bring a law like "An eye for an eye" and I bet the crimes will dwindle down.
