How about this for anti-gun/bullet fans to do-(who have a little spending money)

[Mary Ann]

Why don't all anti-gun, anti-NRA anti-bullet people with a bit of money to spend, instead of giving it to a group, why not in each district, go in and buy up all the bullets, which, according to reports, are in limited stock. (only those with NO guns should be involved.)

Obviously not for guns one doesn't have, but to remove it from the market altogether.
A gun is no good without a bullet, and with the government buying some, and Bloomberg buying some, we could limit the entire flow of bullets for a long time.

As for what to do with the bullets, I am sure one could go and have someone eliminate them from the market place and street.

This would surely effect the gun buyers if they couldn't get bullets.

After all, how much is a box of bullets?

That's a strange thread to read.

5. not if its organized by the Mayors against guns, and immediately disposed of by police

I would figure it was like in the days of 45 singles.
Each place had a finite number, costing a finite dollar.

All it took to sell out and become the #1 record was enough people in all the places that sell them.

And then the stores would have none.

It would be a great marketing campaign to get rid of guns and bullets.

Of course, police and camera crews would record every moment.

and it would be completely harmless as no one would actually keep the bullets they are buying
they would immediately be destroyed by police and other proper law enforcement.

There are only x number of gun sellers in the USA.

Simple dollars could buy them out.
(While the big guys like Bloomberg buy the manufacturing plants.)

Simple business 101.

Then do like Jerry Brown in California and work your way down.

And, anyone in any town causes any trouble trying to stop it, arrest them, and take their guns/bullets away with no one able to get in or out of the area with any bullets on them.

This Loony Tune will NOT be happy until a huge black market in Ammo arrives.   Think about all the crime and corruption smuggling in Ammo to sell at very high prices to the Street thugs.  A win-win all around.  Jobs in the Ammo industry to replace as fast as they can all the people with no guns buy up.

Now what the Hell are they going to do with all this Ammo they have no guns to use.    Cannot just throw it in a dumpster or store in a hot attic.  They can pray there is no fire in the home, Firemen have a problem when they arrive to put out a fire and there is a ton of ammo inside going off over their heads. Neighbors will not be too pleased to have Nads show up at their door for an Interview of the scene.

Idiots complain about being out of work or low wages and yet are encouraged to spend money on a product they have no use for and no way to get rid of it.  Sort of like STD's the gift that keeps on giving.

I wonder how much it costs to have security placed in home or apartment.   No wonder they are poor,
The cost of a small weapon + training classes and a trip to the pound for a dog with big bark ----Good for 12-15 years on the dog, weapon, 100 years +.

At $1,200+ for a security system each year that most likely will not work in an electrical black out-----

Yeah right tell me why you have all that money to spend on security to guard valuables costing around $5,000 to replace at value at time it went missing.    

I cannot place a value on lives as a valuable but DU's put the price at about $300.00 at the Abortion Clinic.

A weapon and a dog--now that is security used for thousands of years.

9. Guns are WMDs, the NRA a terror org, people who finance it are financing terror

as the other post about gunnies wanting to march with loaded rifles to DC (where that is not allowed), these are actual rightwing extremists with paranoid conspiracy theory thoughts,like the coward of OkCity was, like the Waco people were, like all the others.

Time to treat it as such.

after all, they are using guns to overthrow the government it seems. That is treason.

Seems like Gayham got the idea from somewhere...but where?

Ah, going with the whole false flag excuse. Good one. One argues that the places that make ammo and guns will simply make more:

46. well, it would be done the day after the manufacturing plants are all bought.

Just takes a little $$$ to buy the owners out. After all, they are in it for the money and would probably be happy to sell as the gun industry soon will be gone anyhow.
Again, simple biz 101. A biz takeover like Walmart took over all the mom and pops.

Like 8 tracks and Betamax, rendered obsolete

Yes...buy all the places that make said item. close them down. Where have I heard this before?

4. wow, this is a colossally stupid idea

View profile
Lets waste money buying up a product that will only be replinished in a few days. In the meantime, we'll have boxes of ammo sitting around the house just waiting to get into trouble. Then I'm sure someone will throw them in the garbage where the compactor mechanism from the truck will crush...causing some of the shells to go off and possibly wound a garbage worker or other nearby innocent. What a way to waste money, by giving it to retailers of weapons and the bullet industry.

But hey, it's just another in a very long line of stupid posts.

Someone should explain to the peeping Tom primitive the dynamics of a loaded cartridge.

Alluding to the cracker:

So much stupid, shown so proudly, by so few.

[Mary Ann]

This might actually be a good idea. Can you imagine how the unemployment rate would drop like a rock as all those manufacturers gear up to full-employment, round-the-clock shifts, new plants opening across the country? Can you imagine what would happen to the stock market as all of us smart people started investing heavily in those companies? Cracker Boy may have hit upon a great idea--totally by accident. 

[FlaGator]

I read that OP and I thought, "this has got to be a joke". Then I realized it was DU and the OP is probably serious.

Well dummie... what is to stop said owner(s) from moving down the road and opening up another ammo factory with bloomburg's money after the buyout? You think all these owners are just gonna go put that kind of money in a CD and lay on the beach? Even if they don't open a new one, once ammo factories start closing down there will be a lot of unemployed workers from said plants and some of them will get together and open an ammo factory... especially if they can make ammo for say 10 cents a round and sell it for say $10.00 a round due to it being scarce. That kind of profit somebody somewhere gonna produce it and sell it, whether legal or not. 

You dummies are the stupidest idiots I have ever seen in my life.

25. Get rid of all bullets, then everyone can keep their guns. How's that for compromise?

after all bullets are not in the 2nd whatsoever. No mention at all.

With no bullets, one doesn't even need to reinterpret the 2nd.

Then collectors can hang them on the wall and look at the now rendered obsolete gun as a curio.

That is like saying the 1st amendment didn't mention ink, so let's ban ink so the presses can't print.
What an idiot.

34. well some people shoot a lot especially competative shooters, i shoot weekly sometimes more

And i burn a lot of ammo practicing.

Graham cracker comes up with the perfect solution.

graham4anything (8,429 posts)
52. you don't need real bullets for that. You can use blanks.

Yeah when I was in basic training we used blanks all the time to learn how to shoot targets.  

loli phabay (2,751 posts)
54. erm you realise that blanks dont feel the same as rounds nor do they show you placement

No he doesn't know that, he hasn't a clue.

68. We tried that at my house...

Shooting at cans across the yard...no bullets.

Having someone bang a spoon on a tuna fish can to simulate a hit was a bit weird.

But the guy who had to run out to the cans in the yard and hammer holes in the cans with a big nail (fake bullet holes) complained, and the "shooters" really got pissed when the guy making the holes in the cans refused to nail them dead center.

All in all, it was an ugly day.

 

This guy is so stupid that even the other idiots at the DUmp don't believe him.

Did "Biz 101" at Graham University happen to also cover the difference between exclusive and nonexclusive intellectual property, like the technical data packages for sporting ammo?

Bloomberg may be a control freak but he's not about to invest his money in something that he'll only shut down. Simple business 101.

Other rich people would see an opportunity...a gap in the market, so to speak, and open their own manufacturing plant (think Koch brothers). Large chains (like Walmart & Cabela's) would invest in new manufacturing plants. Simple business 101.

Manufacturers would also start selling direct to the customer. They'd place ads in publications gun enthusiasts & hunters read. Give large donations to the NRA with the agreement that the organization would let their members know (website, newsletters, magazine) that X,Y,Z Bullet Corp. is sponsoring some program, like...oh, Rifle Safety and Hunting for Teens...at the end of the course the teen & family will be able to buy a rifle for half price. A store front is not necessary to sell things. Simple business 101.

Many people make their own ammo...buying all bullets would just mean sales of the products needed to make said item would go up dramatically which would put more change in the pockets of those mean corporations. Heck, it would be the start of a whole new cottage industry...people could start making bullets at their kitchen table and then selling them on the internet. Plenty of people who don't want to bother making their own would gladly pay for someone else to do it. Simple business 101.

You guys are so freaking stupid. You're completely incapable of thinking ahead. You get an idea in your head and think it will work because (even those of you who were philosophy majors, evidently) you have zero critical thinking skills. This is America...we'd find a way. But then socialists such as yourself have never much cared for American ingenuity. Being ignorant and lazy & expecting the government to pay you or force others to pay you what you've decided you deserve because you happen to be breathing on this planet you're unable to see the possibilities.

Got news for you DUmmies...YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY AMMUNITION.

Since your mulatto messiah went on his anti-Constitutional rampage, the prices for ammo have skyrocketed.  Only the rich can afford ammo.

You lose again.

Something that all liberals have in common. Quinn's law: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent."

I applaud this concept and welcome the left to join us in buying up ammo. Thousands of new ammo factories will spring up to meet the demand.

No need for you DUmmies to spend your welfare checks doing this...the Federal government has already taken this idea and ran with it.

I love this thread so much - it encapsulates why DUmmies should never be let near public policy, they are utterly incapable of thinking in the fourth dimension.

Give lots of money to the poor - let's not think whether it will create a culture of dependency over time.
Buy all of the ammunition - let's not think whether it will create a raised supply due to an expansion of manufacturing capabilities over time.
Take all of the money from 'the rich' - let's not think whether it will cause them to leave taking their enterprise with them over time.
