What's is wrong with Americas youth? Another shooting

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Exactly. Making and packing your own rounds is not difficult.

To control that would take the monitoring and restriction of many different materials, metals, and chemical compounds.

It's naive to say that we need to regulate bullets.

Ya its easy to make ur own but you need the equipment, you need the brass to reload and i doubt many of these guys that easily buy ak's and bullets will get into making their own rounds

Far fetched idea but better chance of regulating bullets than guns...
Nothing in the 2nd amendment about right to buy bullets

Re: Ammo. I don't think Americans are that stupid to think that "...as long as they don't take muh guns." Just the insinuation from Obama increasing regulations (I forget on what exactly) caused a massive surge in ammunition sales. I remember the gun dealers putting up "No Ammo" signs all over the place back then.

phuket richard, this is about all the equipment you'd need. Also brass is not that hard to come by.

Offering solutions when you're not very educated on the details is not helpful.

shitloads of preppers reload. Anyone who burns a lot of rounds on the range does too.
Not like it is complicated or anything.
Much cheaper than buying new and you can buy brass easy.

Some of these ppl have thousands of rounds at home just waiting for Armageddon.
A surprising number of them too.

Isn't crazy how Texans are all about being strapped, having their open carry laws, and 'the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun' blah blah blah Image

Yet this shooter blew 20 people away, wounded countless others, and was only handcuffed and thrown in the back of a cop car. I thought it should have been something more like this?

The good guys with guns all ran and hid like little pussies in El Paso.

In Dayton, the cops were there and firing in less than 2 minutes.
But the shooter still had time to kill 9.

Last week school supplies went on sale.
A popular item this year is bullet proof backpacks for kids.

Interesting article, with references, on how a Mass Shooting is defined.
