We get the point AND we don't want the change because the change will not work and will have no effect on your point.
Your first premise that a $100 per bullet tax will deter crazy people because crazy people are all broke and have no access to cash is completely flawed.
Your second premise that creating a massive government bureaucracy to give certain people subsidies is even worse than the first idea, and that is hard to do.
The third premise of having the State, though a surrogate you defined as the police, be in charge of deciding when we get to exercise our inalienable rights by doling out bullets to replace spent ammo is so far beyond the pale.
You seem to have no concept of what the Constitution and Bill of Rights were created to protect. You completely disconnect the great success of this country from these basic human rights. You have no capacity to understand how ideas like yours are so counter the security of a free people. Again, if you want to be safe from your neighbors and crazy people then I am sure North Korea will take you in, maybe China too. Nothing to fear from your neighbors there.
