Bullets being priced extremely high will never work. It puts the hunters out of ammo.
Imagine $100 to hunt a turkey... hope you don't miss.

What about only those that go in semi-automatics??
I don't know if standard hunting ammo can be used for those? (just asking)
Besides I thought you go hunting turkeys with a shotgun.

Dave, turkeys , deer, pigs, alligator, elephants, whatever. I'm just using turkeys as an example. You can't make ammo 100 dollars a round. That's even more ridiculous than banning certain weapons.

I understand but what if you take only the ammo that goes into semi-automatics & mega clips and raise their cost ? Leave the hunting ammo alone. That's what I'm asking. Is that possible or not ? I know little specifics about various caliber of ammo.

Here's a thought:
How many US citizens were killed by hand grenades last year ?
Bearing that number in mind, why can hand grenade control work, but gun control can't (according to the NRA) ?? crazy

Right DLC,

Target only weapons like assault rifles bullets.

Now I am not a hunter but I don't think they use the same ammo ? ? I mean hunting -vs- killing people ?

Then again I am such a bad hunter I would need artillery support. laugh

People do hunt with those nasty looking black guns that use the 5.56x45 NATO round. I saw a video of folks hunting prairie dogs and coyotes with
http://www.huldraarms.com/rifles/product_f693dfc027b6/
Picking them off at 500 yards.

Why should hunting or for that matter self defense be only for the rich.

I've never gone hunting in my entire life. I have never owned a gun and have no intention of getting one.
I live in a county surrounded by gun-loving, fanatical hunters. Come hunting season, over half the male
Student population in schools is absent.
Some of the more important arguments of the pro-hunting fanatics are that hunting controls wildlife.
There are dozens of serious accidents caused every year by deer-car collisions.
Coyotes need to be 'controlled' because they will attack and kill farm animals. Farmers here are not allowed to use poison anymore so they shoot them.
I can see the validity of these arguments, but I'll never understand why hunting is considered a 'sport'.

Many of what used to be daily/necessary activities became a sport when the original purpose was supplanted by progress/technology/civilization, etc.

Rowing or sailing used to be the only ways to propel a boat. Now they're chiefly leisure and competitive sports.

Hunting used to be one of the only ways to put meat on the table. Now it mainly a hobby, and necessary only for a very few.

Building a log cabin used to be the only way to keep the rain off your head. Now some people do it just for giggles.

Before the invention of fabric softener, baseball used to be the only opportunity for young men to scratch their crotches in public! blush
