I'd have to think more about your solution, OCDHubby, to give a full response, but I'm short on time tonight. One question comes to mind, though: What if the criminals can create their own bullets? I know they can create their own guns, but I've never thought about bullets. I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do that, though.

Edit: I skimmed that article, pachyderm, and will read it more thoroughly when I have time and post an opinion. It looks a lot more sensible than most of the crap we see and hear these days. I still would have problems if people said the mentally ill should have no access to guns, because they might commit suicide. I think it has to be on a case-by-case basis. More later.

OCDHubby, welcome to PC, btw! Do you have OCD, or are you married to someone who does? I have severe OCD and panic disorder.
