Interesting thread I made, Still a bit out of it. Anyway on topic of the whole gun killing stuff its straight BS. Those 2 shootings made gun/ammo prices triple, All while there is this hate towards manufacturers of guns and ammo they are smiling like devils as they get $2 a bullet per 5.56/.223 caliber round(pretty much the only thing AR15s shoot) which used to hover around 10 cents to 20 cents a bullet depending on how many you bought.

.22lr, 9mm, .40, .38, .380acp all of that shit tripled in price. I used to get 10000 rounds of .22lr for $1000 for CCI or 1.3k for federal. Now places are still out of stock months later, Prices still being gouged. I took my ruger 10/22 in to swap a threaded barrel onto it for my gemtech supressor and they were selling 10/22's for $390 brand new. I paid $130 for mine a few years back, They used to be even cheaper. One guy even offered to buy mine because there were none in stock.

The aurora and newtown shootings made this whole gun craze, people afraid they wouldn't be able to buy new guns/ammo so they flew off the shelves. Most ranges can't even supply you with adequate ammo right now if you don't bring your own, Some places double and tripled their hourly cost to shoot while others switched to a one time fee shoot as long as you want(obviously knowing no one has thousands of bullets to waste away target shooting right now).

As far as gun homicide rate goes, Look where its at. DC, guns are banned. Detroit, strict gun laws but not banned. No matter what law anyone tries to pass there will always be a gun available to some low life thug who wants to be a gangster, or someone who wants to go on a mass murder spree. Ban all assault weapons you say? No problem, You can still buy a 12 gauge and do equal amount of damage as with a pistol. A gun is a gun, It can be used to kill people. And the obvious quote..People kill people, Guns just take away the need to stab/slice/beat to death.

Trying to convince my old man to sell the families gun collection, 5 rilfes/shotguns, they've been sitting in a cabinet for years we don't hunt and the oldman takes them out once a year to clean them "just in case".

Sitting on a pile of gold and just keeping it locked up to look at...foolish imo
