    Hey pal, let me let you in on a secret – bullets have already been getting more expensive, especially since COVID.

    Maybe a comedian doesn’t have the secret key to gun control after all…

    You’re gonna see a drop in gunshots if every bullet costs $1k.

    First of all, that’s simply not true. Do you have any idea how easy reloading is? You seriously think these criminals are gonna just stop shooting people because they can’t buy bullets at wallmart no more? Even with that aside, the last thing we need is giving the rich and powerful gangs a monopoly on firearms.

    Common sense gun control isn’t that hard, instead of pushing things that don’t make any sense we should be pressuring the GOP fascists more.
