We are never going to remove guns from American life. Face it. There are millions of guns out there, of all descriptions, that no buy-back program, voluntary or mandatory, will ever make a dent in.

But what about ammo? Tight restrictions like universal background checks on ammo sales could be the answer. An unloaded gun is a useless thing.

I wouldn’t mind jumping through some hoops to purchase my relatively small ammo supply for recreational shooting and self-defense if it helped end mass shootings.

As Jake Johannsen once said, “Guns don’t kill people. It’s those darn bullets.”
