Gun Control & RKBA

Want a gun? Take a bullet: Take this, gutless NRA cowards you can have a gun, once you understand the pain of being shot
As a teen I watched Chris Rock brilliantly address Americas gun problem during his Bigger and Blacker stand up. We dont need gun control, Rock pleaded to a packed house, We need bullet controlif bullets were $5000, people would think before they shot some one! You gotta really piss someone off for them to dump $50,000 worth of bullets in to you! And just like the crowd, my brother, some friends and I erupted in laughter.
Rock was definitely on point, $5000 bullets would be great but Id take it a step furtherI believe that being shot should be requirement for gun ownership in America. Its very simple. You need to have gun, like taking selfies with pistols, cant live with out it? Then take a bullet and you will be granted the right to purchase the firearm of your choice.
If we could successfully implement this rule, I guarantee the mass shootings will stop. Watching cable news now in days makes me physically ill. Week in and week out we are forced to learn about another coward, who cant stand to deal with the same rejection that most of us face so they strap themselves with guns and then cock and spray at innocent people. Heartbroken survivors and family member images go viral, as our elected officials remain clueless.
The Democrats faced off for the first time this week. Clinton lead with a stat that was just as staggering as it was sad, 90 people a day die due to gun violence! followed by the rhetoric that has been tossed around for yearsmore rigorous gun laws coupled with a stricter screening process and plans that are never clear or properly fleshed out. She and Bernie traded blows on whos tougher but stillno solutions on aggressively addressing this matter.

The gun show is immaterial; it's private sales which you cannot track without registration.
