Well the government did try to raise the price of cigarettes to make people stop smoking but it didn't work, I like many many others are just letting other things slide so we can keep smoking. Raise the price of ammunition then there will be a black market for ammunition. I know people who are reloading ammunition simply because they think ammunition prices will soar or be limited in access. Even if all guns and ammunition were to magically disappear around the world then something else will be used to kill people. Knives, bow and arrows, swords, axes, rope, piano wire or even hands, there will always be people killing other people only the method will change. I would rather keep the guns where at least we have ballistics to determine who did the killing. A stabbing or strangulation is much harder to determine who did the kidding. People will always kill other people.
