Bullets don't kill people either - it still took a person to pull the trigger... and sometimes the criminal uses a baseball bat, or knife. or his penis!
ridiculous idea... then only wealthy drug dealers would have them... and of course, politicians body guards.
It is TIME for the government to issue a hand gun and a box of bullets to every man and woman that wants one. AND provide government supported shooting ranges with ammo so those people can be well trained in the care, maintenance and operation of those handguns. AND so they can become effective and accurate and safe shooters.
Chinese man with a knife: 8 dead of 9 attacked: (88% fatality rate) .... A madman bursts through the door with a weapon and intends to kill ...
Axe-wielding Chinese man kills six ... 2004 - Man with knife kills eight at Chinese high school ...
citizen executed for murdering six Shanghai police officers with a knife. ....
Damn,, better ban Knives and axes,, or put a huge tax on them... LMAO
It's comments like that that make people think you're not to bright. The violent people in this world kill people and they don't need bullets to do it. Why don't we devote our energy to ridding society of them so that people like me can have my bullets and guns and use them responsibly as I have for thirty years since I was 12 and got my first gun a bolt action .22 cal. Now I have many and thousands of rounds of ammo just in case some nut like you passes stupid laws.
interesting- in your zeal to post, you likely failed to read this little gem:
"Violent crime has been on the rise in China in recent decades as the nation's economy has boomed and the gap between rich and poor has expanded at an alarming rate.
Experts say the increase in assaults shows that China is paying the price for focusing on more than 30 years of economic growth while ignoring problems linked to rapid social change."
Lets face reality here....a $1000 tax per bullet is not happening, nor is the outlawing of firearms happening....its just that simple.
There are 290,000,000 legally owned firearms in the US....do you really think the owners of those firearms are going to pay $1000 for each bullet in taxes? Do you think they are going to surrender their property to the government?
It will not happen. The voting capability of firearms owners....spans all political spectrums....and they will vote.
if there are that many guns- why does the US need more? Why does the US need more ammo for that matter- there's certainly enough to last the public for several centuries
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "
My proposal would not infringe the right to keep and bear arms, so it would be constitutional
no mention of use of those arms
If you wish to use your gun, purchase the ammo and pay a per round tax. Similarly, if you wish to use your car, you buy gasoline which carries with it a large amount of taxes

A guy in China recently committed mass murder with a knife: http://news.yahoo.com/chinese...

sound familiar?
If they do not have access to guns they will use something else. A knife can be used as a weapon.
Do you want to add a tax on knives as well?
try and keep up
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
whatever......

Your question simply is ludicrous.
$1,000 per bullet? All that does is make the killers learn how to makes their own reloads.
all reloading equipment and supplies would be heavily taxed under my plan
the second amendment doesn't mention ammountion
This makes the 2nd amendment meaningless.

arms plural of arms (Noun)
Noun:
Weapons and ammunition; armaments:
I.e. ammunition is mentioned in the words above. From the Second Amendment in case you don't recognize them. A firearm without ammo is a club!
