Ever seen Bowling for Columbine?
Michael Moore addressed some serious points in his documentary, on how the availability of ammo in local stores like K-Mart and Wal-Mart are too accessible by the youth. If your buying ammo for hunting game animals, I do not see any purpose in being able to buy an ample amount of bullets made to fit a hand gun. Furthermore, I believe our nation relies on an "anxiety appeal advertising" in getting consumers to over consume and buy products. From the simplest uses of P&G with anti-bacterial soap, to security systems, and the unnecessary Y2K phase (people went out and stocked up on merchandise to prepare for the worst). Sorry to be blunt, but this issue of gun control, and the governments ability to instill oppressive feelings of anxiety is very frustrating to me. I am against gun control in the most extreme forms, because I feel no one needs to be armed with the ability to take a life away from someone.
Or maybe we should make ammo too expensive for people purchase, therefore deterring violence as a whole. Check out the Chris Rock link
It just seems to me that if we look back in American history, guns have resulted in some of the bloodiest massacres, like the Civil War resulting in the greatest loss of life. And even the Boston Massacre tallying up five fatalities due the colonist being unarmed in an altercation with the European guards.
