As I noted, Justice Roberts already made the case that this is perfectly constitutional.

And if they don't argue the 2A mandates the *guns* themselves must be inexpensive, then they can't argue ammunition must be as well.

The gun nuts (who live in constant blinding fear of everything and will buy guns b/c they're afraid the gub'mint is coming to take their guns) will NEVER give up their "wubbies".

Let them keep their guns. Buy whatever they want; as many as they want. BUT...

Michigan who planned an attack on a local Synagogue was worried about having to stop to reload..

...illustration the point that high-capacity clips are a 's best friend.

"The shooter fired over 100 rounds of ammunition."

Under my proposal, that would have cost this kid over $10,000.

@gfarrell I thought making guns for easily available was supposed to make us SAFER? 🤔 Third in a week. More than one a day.

@Defiance @Lowie @DebR A quick example of how making a right expensive isn't Unconstitutional:

By law, a hospital must save your life, whether you can afford to pay or not. But that doesn't stop them from sending you a massive bill, even putting a lien on your salary if you don't pay.

2A absolutists can argue that you have a right to "ammunition", but there's nothing in there that says it must be cheap. 🤔

@Defiance @Lowie @DebR Unfortunately, allowing Insurance companies to deny people what 2A absolutists consider a "Constitutional right" would go to the SCotUS and lose.

The other 3 are fine, but there's a better way:

@Radical_EgoCom Last night's Network news opened with the words:

"*Another* today."

Only in the United States where a minority of crazed lethal gun nuts are in control would you hear such a sentence uttered.

(And to make it worse, they noted we experience "1.5 per day." That's Nucking Futz!) 🤬

& Pence both attended today's (as did every top-tier 2024 GOP candidate.) Both declared they would oppose "ANY new gun legislation." Pence blamed the "Trans Community" & "" for the

Gov Kristi Noem "bragged" that her granddaughter… who isn't yet two… already has her own rifle. 😵

THESE

ARE
NUTS!

This highlights the of trying to pass any ban.

I'VE BEEN ARGUING FOR A STEEP TAX ON BULLETS TO get around 2A "Absolutists" who will NEVER give up their right to own ANY weapon.

Alex Wagner pointed out last night that 6 of the 10 deadliest Mass Shootings in the U.S. all used "AR15 style" guns, which regularly come with "30 round magazines" ("100 Round drum magazines" available.) During Vietnam, M16s were limited to 20.

AR15 rounds sell for $0.76 each! No bullet should cost less than $100. msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/

@edde I just got off the phone with my sister. I told her home I was listening to the news about the latest when I suddenly heard two gunshots from across the street.

I had to tell her *which* mass shooting (the one in KY) and she said "I hadn't heard about *that* one." 😞

We've got a serious problem.

The Bank shooting in Louisville, KY today was the FIFTEENTH ... THIS MONTH.

It is only April 10th. 😞

@radicalfaery Attempting to ban guns in this insane era of RW extremism and 2A Absolutists is a .

How about we simply make the bullets more expensive?

..or is that just too damn easy? 😞

@einfeldt All completely rational regulations (that you listed.)

But look at that photo. We aren't dealing with rational people here. If they are going to be "2A Absoluteists", then my idea totally circumvents the 2A and uses their own reasoning against them.

If there's no restriction of how much a gun can cost, then they can't complain about how much a bullet costs. And Gunpowder/Cordite are not "Arms".

@einfeldt 1) a tax on gunpowder has ZERO effect on your access "to guns", just what goes in them.

2) The wealthy make up about 10% of the population, and wealthy mass shooters make up a minuscule fraction of that, so I am perfectly fine with only The Wealthy being able to afford copious amounts of ammunition.

How wealthy did the guy in this photo have to be to afford all these guns?

@MugsysRapSheet My first reaction is to love . But that means that it will be harder for workers to have access to guns, whereas it will just be a drop in the bucket for the wealthy and corporations. hmmm. Maybe not a good idea.

Police say the shooter fired 152 rounds. 🤬

Under my proposal, that would have cost her $15,200.
