OK that is you ... however Mommy gave her guns to her deranged kid who killed 27 people.
The 100 buck bullet will have no effect on you.
You have the bullet, when its used properly, as in you shoot an intruder, cops show up with a body bag and leave ... and you get a coupon for the bullet, you can buy it @ their cost ...
Same with the mommy that shot the guy in her attic. Heck I'd have cops restock her @ the time of "dead guy removal".
You want to shoot up a few 1000 rounds into a movie theater with strangers in it ... its gonna cost you a few 100,000 bucks in cash. So long before you have even bought the movie ticket ... you're out say 200k. How's that for gun control.
OK fine you gonna make your bullet, OK fine, none of the metals and materials will be easily available. Then you ahve to be a chemist, and a machinist to be able to do it, and it will still cost you a few 1000 @ a minimum ... Plus ... it will instantly get gun owners to lock up their spare stash of ammo. You may have a bunch in your gun ... and use it for protection ... but the 12,000 spare you own, wont be by the gun left loose.
Cool.
